Last January, Minister of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy, Segolène Royal, asked former European Deputy Corinne Lepage to deliver a report on « The New World Economy ». Freshly finished, the report is now on the Minister’s desk since June 15th. The 139-pages report was written with the help of a task force led by Corinne Lepage. The task force was composed of 28 representatives of
Reuniwatt will attend the 3rd International Conference on Energy & Meteorology, ICEM 2015, from 22.-26. June, in Boulder, Colorado. Reuniwatt CSO Sylvain Cros will present some of our reasearch works. The latter will exhibit our latest breakthroughs in terms of Earth observation and use of geo-information databases in order to predict the power output of solar plants. The ICEM 2015 will gather scientists, economists, stakeholders and other specialists working on
Expert in Photovoltaic (PV) energy production forecasting, Reuniwatt signed up a partnership with Total. Reuniwatt will thus provide solar power production forecasts for the IssyGrid® demonstration project. Prior to the agreement, the forecasts were provided every 6 hours ahead and for the day to come. Reuniwatt introduces shortcasting. PV production forecasting: a determining stake for smart grids One of the main challenges of smart-grids is
Last April in Hawthorne (California), founder of Tesla Motors Elon Musk, the current leader in the electric vehicles sector, made an entrance in a spectacular fashion during his brand new home batteries’ debut conference. Tesla wants to revolutionize the energy sector but can it really be done? A cheering and overall overexcited crowd greets Elon Musk as he enters the stage. With a curt nod

For the third year in a row, Reuniwatt will present its solutions during this crucial event focusing on Smart Grids in France. Soft Grid: When Smart Grids meet Magna Data In order to
If you live in Abu Dhabi, Muscat or Ahmedabad, you might have seen a weird bird flying above you. Wider than a Boeing 747 but weighing only 1% of its weight, Solar Impulse is a 4-engine solar-powered plane on its way to fly around the globe. It has absolutely no other fuel than solar energy. Flying only thanks to solar energy would have seemed impossible
Good news! The International Energy Agency (IEA) just released a note stating that carbon dioxide emissions related to energy did not increase in 2014. There is usually a strong correlation between global economic growth and carbon emissions: as the economy is growing, people are using more energy to fuel this growth and more people get access to energy in emerging countries. Even when the
The transmission system operators’ challenge The 20th March solar eclipse and its consequences on the European electric grids are on every lips. Indeed, the share of renewable energies has much progressed since the last similar phenomenon which took place in the summer of 1999. Back then, the solar installations were not so much widespread, and the energy production associated with them was too insignificant
According to a KPMG report entitled “The changing landscape of disruptive technologies” published last month, Cloud computing is considered as the most important disruptor of the three years to come. While their use increase, cloud technologies remain vitally important to further technology progress and remain a source of enabling innovation. The 768 technology industry leaders who have participated in the survey come from a very
