Atos paves the way for flexible and sustainable energy flow in Europe
Madrid, Spain, 12 Might 2020
Atos, a world wide leader in electronic transformation, announces its participation in the FLEXIGRID undertaking, which aims to strengthen the operation of the distribution grid – creating it more adaptable, reputable and charge-efficient, through the growth of impressive answers. Its purpose is to lead to the reduction of CO2 emissions and to the 2030 EU weather objectives while planning the grid to the raise in renewable power. As part of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 program, FLEXIGRID was initiated mid-2019 and will last for 4 yrs. It delivers jointly a consortium of sixteen companions led by the Research Centre for Strength Sources and Intake (CIRCE) in Spain.
In order to ensure that the undertaking is effective throughout all EU networks, 8 distinctive use situations at 4 demo web sites (Spain, Greece, Italy and Croatia) have been chosen, addressing the most widespread EU distribution grid challenges. Atos will provide and integrate its open resource Framework for Utilities and Expert services (FUSE) for all undertaking pursuits and demonstration web sites, connecting the knowledge generated by real end users and teams with the impressive companies formulated in the undertaking for the best possible versatility.
Enabling versatility for long run distribution grid
The power industry is at present transitioning from a centralized system with passive end users into a adaptable network of energetic end users showcasing power communities. FLEXIGRID will create a set of answers to tackle the problems that the electrical power grid is anticipated to encounter as a outcome of the rising participation of variable renewable energies in the power system.
The new resources will let the distribution network to function safely and securely and stably when a significant part of variable renewable electrical power resources is connected to minimal and medium voltage networks. Specifically, through the growth of impressive components and software answers, the undertaking will perform on:
- Enhancing the grid hosting ability of renewables
- Escalating the observability, controllability and automation of the network devices for the improvement of both the safety and resilience of the grid
- Mitigating shorter and prolonged-expression congestions in the dispersed grid
- Ensuring the interoperability and compatibility of the formulated answers with distinctive platforms utilised by European Dispersed Procedure Operators (DSOs)
In this context, the power platform FUSE will make out there the hottest systems (Huge Facts, AI, IoT, Blockchain and FIWARE) to go a single stage further towards sustainability, while presenting a powerful software platform that delivers network visibility and manage, course of action automation and small business collaboration for answers throughout the power and utility benefit chain. Atos will use the platform to aid the replicability of companies and answers, integrating distinctive components and software answers to fully exploit the knowledge provided by regional and dispersed power assets.
“The decentralization of the power industry generates a complicated atmosphere with distinctive actors included, in which anyone focuses on the exact purpose, but has their possess functions, necessities and properties on the way towards a sustainable long run.” explains Juan Sancho, Strength Sector R&D Engineer at Atos in Iberia. “Leveraging Atos’ substantial working experience in the power sector, FUSE integrates the hottest answers and systems to aid effectiveness and sustainability, paving the way to the digitalization of the sector and a more sustainable long run”
