As the energy transition accelerates, the capacity offered by AI to sustainably integrate a huge increase in renewable energy (intermittent solar and wind energy) will be needed to ensure a stable grid and reliable. Predictions of the basic variables (wind speed and overall horizontal irradiance, as well as the resulting power output) provide a view […]
Faced with energy dependence and climate change, many countries around the world have been forced to engage in an energy transition process. But beyond the environmental dimension, this transition is accompanied by societal and technological changes. The digitalization of the energy sector (smartgrids, IoT, blockchain) seems to provide the solutions to facilitate this transition. ✔ […]
The energy transition, a concept that initially had a mainly ecological connotation, namely reducing CO2 emissions by reducing the production of fossil fuels in favor of renewables, is in the process of profoundly transforming the very profession of the historical players in network management. . It should indeed be understood that, with renewable energies, it […]
Independent Power Producers (IPPs) or Non-Public Power Producers (NPP) are private entities (under an unbundled market), which own and / or operate power generation facilities, then sell it to utility, to a central government purchaser and end users. IPPs can be private facilities, cooperatives, or non-energy industrial companies capable of bringing excess energy into the […]
Having a decentralized production plant based on renewable energies (in particular photovoltaic and wind power) makes it possible to produce electricity for the consumer’s own use (industrial or household). In this case, it can be used directly on site or re-injected into the network in exchange for financial compensation. Hence the interest in knowing the […]
Appeared in the United States in 1983 in the State of Minnesota, net-metering (net metering or net invoicing or compensation) is a policy of self-consumption of photovoltaic electricity that allows a customer producing his own electricity to inject the surplus of its consumption in the public electricity network. Under the net-metering contract, the customer, who […]
One of the advantages of renewable energies, solar photovoltaic in particular, is the decentralization of electricity production. Individuals can now produce their energy by connecting their power plants to the self-consumption distribution network. Self-consumption is the possibility for an actor (private, industrial, commercial) to produce electricity, to consume it (up to its needs) and to […]
A green and sustainable business incubator “Green Incubator”, also called incubator or incubator of green businesses, is a structure whose mission is to welcome, accompany and support the initiators of innovative business creation projects. , in the sector of renewable energies, energy efficiency and Green Tech. Depending on their type (public, private or local government […]
The RE observatory is an organization often created by an administration, generally the State, or by an association in order to monitor the development of the use of renewable energies in a territory. The main mission of these observatories is to supplement knowledge in order to facilitate decision-making and facilitate access to information in various […]
The solar cadastre is a mapping of a territory that highlights the solar energy that reaches the roofs over an average year. Usually financed by a local authority, this mapping is made available to the public using geographic information systems (GIS), in order to learn about the solar potential of buildings, and thus to know […]
