Saft becomes a partner in the NICE GRID project
Other main partners are Alstom Grid and EDF. The project benefits from a financing within the framework of the programme of the future investment programmes ‘Intelligent electricity networks’ managed by the French energy and environment agency.
The NICE GRID project will provide the first life-size demonstration in mainland France of the efficiency and flexibility associated with electricity storage using Li-ion batteries integrated at three grid levels: at the originating substation, at several distribution substations and finally at the residential level (with overall storage capacity of about 2.7 MWh).
The planned storage will contribute to optimising power flows within the smart grid as a whole and improving the grid’s capacity to use intermittent renewable energy sources. The project will also enable testing of multiple functionalities including load levelling (with regard to both production and consumption of electricity), plant shutdown management and efficient management of the multiple contributors to energy production and consumption involved in the grids of the future.
