Madrid, Spain, twelve May well 2020
Atos, a world-wide chief in electronic transformation, announces its participation in the FLEXIGRID challenge, which aims to make improvements to the operation of the distribution grid – earning it a lot more flexible, reliable and value-effective, by way of the improvement of innovative solutions. Its intention is to add to the reduction of CO2 emissions and to the 2030 EU local climate aims when making ready the grid to the raise in renewable electricity. As section of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 method, FLEXIGRID was initiated mid-2019 and will final for four a long time. It brings with each other a consortium of 16 partners led by the Investigate Centre for Power Assets and Use (CIRCE) in Spain.
In purchase to make sure that the challenge is powerful throughout all EU networks, 8 unique use cases at four demo websites (Spain, Greece, Italy and Croatia) have been selected, addressing the most widespread EU distribution grid challenges. Atos will deliver and integrate its open supply Framework for Utilities and Services (FUSE) for all challenge routines and demonstration websites, connecting the details created by real consumers and teams with the innovative services formulated in the challenge for the best possible overall flexibility.
Enabling overall flexibility for upcoming distribution grid
The electricity marketplace is at present transitioning from a centralized program with passive consumers into a flexible network of energetic consumers showcasing electricity communities. FLEXIGRID will establish a set of solutions to deal with the issues that the electric power grid is envisioned to confront as a end result of the growing participation of variable renewable energies in the electricity program.
The new equipment will allow for the distribution network to functionality safely and stably when a significant section of variable renewable electric power sources is connected to reduced and medium voltage networks. Specially, by way of the improvement of innovative hardware and program solutions, the challenge will do the job on:
- Boosting the grid hosting potential of renewables
- Growing the observability, controllability and automation of the network methods for the enhancement of equally the safety and resilience of the grid
- Mitigating small and long-time period congestions in the distributed grid
- Making certain the interoperability and compatibility of the formulated solutions with unique platforms applied by European Dispersed Process Operators (DSOs)
In this context, the electricity system FUSE would make out there the hottest technologies (Large Facts, AI, IoT, Blockchain and FIWARE) to go just one phase more towards sustainability, when offering a strong program system that delivers network visibility and command, procedure automation and small business collaboration for solutions throughout the electricity and utility benefit chain. Atos will use the system to facilitate the replicability of services and solutions, integrating unique hardware and program solutions to fully exploit the details supplied by local and distributed electricity sources.
“The decentralization of the electricity marketplace makes a elaborate atmosphere with unique actors involved, wherever absolutely everyone focuses on the same intention, but has their personal functions, requirements and properties on the way towards a sustainable upcoming.” explains Juan Sancho, Power Sector R&D Engineer at Atos in Iberia. “Leveraging Atos’ in depth working experience in the electricity sector, FUSE integrates the hottest solutions and technologies to facilitate effectiveness and sustainability, paving the way to the digitalization of the sector and a a lot more sustainable upcoming”
