IssyGrid\u00ae, first operational smart grid district in France<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The IssyGrid demonstration project<\/strong> is operational in Issy-les-Moulineaux (Parisian suburb). The latter comprises more than 1000 connected homes, 5 buildings (including the EFB \u2013 the Paris Law School), a part of the city lighting, 2 storage systems, 3 PV installations, 1 Big Data platform and a forecasting system.<\/p>\n

A new intra-hour solar forecasting method<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is on the latter point that Reuniwatt brings its contribution to its partners<\/strong>. Indeed, Total is in charge of developing a PV plant in self-consumption as well as a solar power production forecasting model on the demonstration project. This model, included in the smart grid, insures an intelligent management of the renewable energy produced on site. Thanks to the partnership between Total and Reuniwatt, the short-term solar production forecasts are more precise.<\/p>\n

Reuniwatt has developed a patented ground imager which enables to obtain forecasts in the hour to come. It has been installed on the EFB\u2019s rooftop, next to the PV installation deployed by Total with SunPower modules. This new imager improves the performance compared to classical ground cameras: it can visualise in real time the clouds\u2019 position and altitude, forecast their movements and, consequently, the 3 PV plants\u2019 production variations.<\/p>\n

Smart Energies Expo 2016<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Reuniwatt will exhibit at the next Smart Energies Expo 2016<\/strong>, from the 31st<\/sup> of May until the 1st<\/sup> of June, at the Espace Grande Arche in Paris. You can meet us on booth D3.<\/p>\n

Reuniwatt will take part in two interventions during this event:<\/p>\n
