In Europe, the NZEB (Nearly Zero-Energy Building) stands as the future standard for buildings meeting the requirements of the Directive 2010/31 / EU that defines the energy performance to be achieved by the construction sector in particular after 2020. A similar evolution of the legislation […]
The digitalization of power distribution networks and, more broadly, energy systems, and the resulting optimization of their operation request to establish lots of links previously nonexistent: – Links between the various energy networks (electricity, gas and heat) – Links between producers and consumers to balance […]
The nascent excitement around electric vehicles is rooted in the ecological interest they may have. With them the exhaust belongs to the past! But are they really less polluting than vehicles with « normal » combustion engines? The answer seems obvious to us but it may be […]
To compare the effects of using different energies in a Smart City, we use the concept of primary energy to quantify and compare the amounts of energy in their form available in nature, whether fossil or renewable. Primary energy is opposed to final energy, ie […]
The EPC (Energy Performance Contract) is a funding mechanism based on the principle of reimbursement of energy efficiency expenses by savings. Thanks to the EPC, an investment for the benefit of energy savings is financially neutral for the consumer: the energy bill is replaced by […]
The idea of boxes Energy is not new: fifteen years ago, the desire to rely on residential gateways and the first home automation offerings already reflected the hopes placed in technology to improve energy efficiency in residential housing and, at that time, rather in the […]
In every city and in every country, bloom pilot projects, demonstrators and various types of tests. The launch of such a project is enough to attract journalists to a city claiming itself to be a Smart City, in short, feeding the buzz. But, why so […]
In recent years, major technological advances in the digital domain focus attention and investment: cloud applications, mobile applications, Internet of things etc … Their deployment in the area of the city stands out as an inevitable trend and opportunities seem an inexhaustible source of innovations. In […]
The Smart Cities have an intrinsic intelligence associated with the smart systems that are deployed for a greater security, a better resilience after natural disasters, a more efficient management of transport and many other fields. Many also feel the need to develop the City governance, […]
The case of electrical distribution networks is very significant of the matter. Until today, they are organized hierarchically for transmitting electricity from large power plants to consumption places. They were logically operated centrally. Centralized control and monitoring systems are “connected” to the main sub-stations, to […]
