In each country that had the means, support schemes have enabled the development of renewable energy, including solar. These schemes theoretically compensate the lack of competitiveness of new energy, when production relies on insufficiently mature technologies to be competitive. They have had perverse effects with […]
I often hear confusion about the different types of energy. The different categories under which we classify today “new” energies are based on intentions and stakes. Here is a clarification of clusters and related stakes. An energy source is said renewable if it is once […]
The successful development of a Smart City passes the following two mandatory challenges: an improved durability, ie a performance that is sustained over years, and the respect for the environment and a better consideration of the citizen, its needs and aspirations (I shall return more […]
The energy storage in general, and especially the electricity storage, is now often seen as a potential “killer application” of the energy market, making intermittent energy sources such as solar and wind power, more desirable. Beyond a certain level of penetration of these energy sources, […]
I wrote in this blog in the month of May 2015 that following its consumption is not enough to engage a citizen in saving energy. Transforming a passive citizen, not knowing what decision to make when facing an unexpected overconsumption, into a committed citizen, active […]
The emergence of Smart Cities is stimulated by certain factors or certain objectives. Two of them have a shared importance by many city councils: security and the search for a better resilience of the city. Security must be understood in a broad sense: security of […]
The energy storage and, in particular, storage of electricity has been heading the concerns in the field of Smart Grids for a couple of years. We are therefore focused on monitoring the progress of the different technologies considered for storing electricity. We “forsake” other energy […]
Some countries, including Switzerland, now require DSO (Distribution System Operator) to provide their customers with a portal to visualize their consumption. What to expect from this regulatory provision? How will it influence the development of energy efficiency initiatives and the evolution of consciousness in relation […]
End of May, Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, presented at the Paris City Council a plan to make his city a “Smart City 2020” (Sic). “The explosive growth of digital technology opens new perspectives in the field of mobility, energy, production and consumption, the […]
I met several teams trying to define the outline of a Smart City program and asking themselves, quite naturally, the question of the validity of a fibre optic network, as a base. This issue challenges minds because there is not, most of the time, for […]
