International Project in the picture: SMILE (SMart Ideas to Link Energies)
Flux50 wants to support you in looking accross the bounderies to learn from foreign energy projects.
If your positive reaction to this is massive and your interest huge we’re eager to organise exchange sessions were possible.
So get in touch if you want to know more!
This month we elaborate on SMILE - the winner of a French call for projects and is an inter-regional collaboration between Bretagne and Pays de Loire. The project is part of a plan for the implementation of energy transition and sustainable growth in the regions and France as a whole.
SMILE is an association fostering many projects . The objective is to:
- Roll out industrial projects connected to smart grids (smart energy systems) to promote skills in Europe and worldwide.
- Create interaction between companies developing solutions and the territories wishing to roll out smart grid technologies, in order to create a region wide smart grid.
The project links with a variety of themes:
- Smart territories: cities, rural and suburban territories, islands.
- Micro-grids and community self-sufficiency (residential buildings, smart activity centres, smart ports, smart campuses, smart neighbourhoods…).
- New models for producing and managing energy in buildings, in particular industrial and tertiary buildings.
- Deployment of new integration models over the renewable energy networks and markets.
- Promoting awareness and helping to control demand response.
- Energy data management hubs, with the challenges of interoperability and cyber security.
- Electric mobility: deployment of carbon free mobility (in particular infrastructure networks for recharging electric vehicles), new models for producing and managing the energy for these vehicles.
- Flexibility and network services on a local and regional level.
You can visit some of the SMILE projects in Rennes & Nantes during European Utility Week in Paris.
