Atos paves the way for flexible and sustainable energy flow in Europe

Madrid, Spain, twelve May possibly 2020

Atos, a international chief in electronic transformation, announces its participation in the FLEXIGRID task, which aims to increase the operation of the distribution grid – making it additional flexible, trusted and charge-productive, by way of the growth of innovative methods. Its aim is to contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions and to the 2030 EU local weather goals when getting ready the grid to the improve in renewable electrical power. As portion of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 program, FLEXIGRID was initiated mid-2019 and will final for four years. It delivers alongside one another a consortium of 16 companions led by the Exploration Centre for Electricity Sources and Intake (CIRCE) in Spain.

In order to make certain that the task is powerful throughout all EU networks, 8 distinctive use conditions at four demo web sites (Spain, Greece, Italy and Croatia) have been chosen, addressing the most typical EU distribution grid challenges. Atos will deliver and integrate its open resource Framework for Utilities and Services (FUSE) for all task activities and demonstration web sites, connecting the details produced by authentic consumers and teams with the innovative services developed in the task for optimum adaptability.

Enabling adaptability for future distribution grid

The electrical power current market is at the moment transitioning from a centralized system with passive consumers into a flexible network of energetic consumers that includes electrical power communities. FLEXIGRID will develop a established of methods to handle the troubles that the electrical power grid is anticipated to confront as a consequence of the escalating participation of variable renewable energies in the electrical power system.

The new tools will allow the distribution network to purpose safely and stably when a massive portion of variable renewable electrical power resources is connected to minimal and medium voltage networks. Precisely, by way of the growth of innovative hardware and software package methods, the task will work on:

• Improving the grid internet hosting ability of renewables
• Rising the observability, controllability and automation of the network techniques for the advancement of both of those the protection and resilience of the grid
• Mitigating short and extensive-phrase congestions in the dispersed grid
• Making certain the interoperability and compatibility of the developed methods with distinctive platforms applied by European Dispersed Procedure Operators (DSOs)

In this context, the electrical power platform FUSE tends to make readily available the most current technologies (Massive Details, AI, IoT, Blockchain and FIWARE) to go a person phase additional toward sustainability, when giving a effective software package platform that presents network visibility and control, procedure automation and small business collaboration for methods throughout the electrical power and utility value chain. Atos will use the platform to aid the replicability of services and methods, integrating distinctive hardware and software package methods to completely exploit the details offered by local and dispersed electrical power resources.

“The decentralization of the electrical power current market generates a complicated atmosphere with distinctive actors involved, where by everybody focuses on the very same aim, but has their personal features, requirements and properties on the way toward a sustainable future.” clarifies [title, purpose] at Atos.  “Leveraging Atos’ comprehensive encounter in the electrical power sector, FUSE integrates the most current methods and technologies to aid performance and sustainability, paving the way to the digitalization of the sector and a additional sustainable future”
