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

Madrid, Spain, 12 May well 2020

Atos, a global leader in electronic transformation, announces its participation in the FLEXIGRID task, which aims to improve the procedure of the distribution grid – producing it much more versatile, reputable and value-economical, through the enhancement of revolutionary methods. Its objective is to contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions and to the 2030 EU weather aims while making ready the grid to the raise in renewable strength. As portion of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 method, FLEXIGRID was initiated mid-2019 and will final for 4 decades. It brings with each other a consortium of sixteen companions led by the Analysis Centre for Strength Means and Usage (CIRCE) in Spain.

In get to guarantee that the task is helpful throughout all EU networks, eight diverse use situations at 4 demo websites (Spain, Greece, Italy and Croatia) have been selected, addressing the most common EU distribution grid complications. Atos will offer and integrate its open up supply Framework for Utilities and Products and services (FUSE) for all task pursuits and demonstration websites, connecting the facts generated by genuine users and teams with the revolutionary services made in the task for the best possible flexibility.

Enabling flexibility for upcoming distribution grid

The strength marketplace is currently transitioning from a centralized system with passive users into a versatile community of energetic users featuring strength communities. FLEXIGRID will build a set of methods to handle the issues that the electrical energy grid is predicted to deal with as a outcome of the growing participation of variable renewable energies in the strength system.

The new applications will permit the distribution community to perform securely and stably when a substantial portion of variable renewable electrical energy sources is related to very low and medium voltage networks. Exclusively, through the enhancement of revolutionary hardware and software package methods, the task will get the job done on:

• Improving the grid internet hosting ability of renewables
• Rising the observability, controllability and automation of the community techniques for the advancement of both of those the safety and resilience of the grid
• Mitigating brief and lengthy-expression congestions in the distributed grid
• Making certain the interoperability and compatibility of the made methods with diverse platforms applied by European Dispersed Technique Operators (DSOs)

In this context, the strength system FUSE helps make readily available the most recent systems (Big Info, AI, IoT, Blockchain and FIWARE) to go just one stage additional in direction of sustainability, while featuring a potent software package system that offers community visibility and handle, system automation and organization collaboration for methods throughout the strength and utility price chain. Atos will use the system to facilitate the replicability of services and methods, integrating diverse hardware and software package methods to thoroughly exploit the facts supplied by community and distributed strength sources.

“The decentralization of the strength marketplace produces a sophisticated surroundings with diverse actors involved, wherever everyone focuses on the similar objective, but has their have capabilities, specifications and qualities on the way in direction of a sustainable upcoming.” explains [name, perform] at Atos.  “Leveraging Atos’ comprehensive encounter in the strength sector, FUSE integrates the most recent methods and systems to facilitate efficiency and sustainability, paving the way to the digitalization of the sector and a much more sustainable upcoming”
