In recent weeks, the board of directors of the Smile association has approved eight new projects. A new proof of the vitality of the French, Breton and Loire sectors in the Smart Grids sector.

The Atlas Project
The Atlas project (led by the Syndicat départemental d’Énergie et d’Équipement de la Vendée) is an innovative platform/service project for the technical aggregation of local production and consumption data. It is in line with the Smart-grids Vendée project already carried out by Sydev.
Le projet West Grid Synergy
The West Grid Synergy project (led by GRT Gaz.) is a regional demonstrator to prefigure what the natural gas networks of tomorrow could be like.
The observation being that there is more and more methanisation, the production peaks do not necessarily correspond to the demand peaks. The objective is therefore to reinject part of the production into the transmission system and to deploy “intelligent” gas network management tools.
The Drop’n Plug project
The Drop’n Plug project (led by the company Dropbird) aims to set up an optimized system for controlling the charging of electric vehicles in car parks. In order to optimize energy between the payload of electric vehicles and the production that can be fed back into the grid, the system balances supply and demand.
The Hydrogen Demonstrator Project
The Hydrogen Demonstration Project (led by Morbihan Energies) combines mobility and renewable energy production. Hydrogen production is based on the site’s renewable energy production (wind and photovoltaic). This hydrogen production is then stored and can be used in a hydrogen-powered vehicle.
The La Marseillaise project
The La Marseillaise project (co-led by Galeo and EDF) aims to transform the building into a “smart building” as part of a “heavy” renovation of a former tertiary building transformed into a home for young workers.
The Beflexi project
The Beflexi project (led by Wi6Labs and NKE Watteco) aims to reduce the energy bill (water, gas, electricity, air) of educational, administrative/public and tertiary buildings by 30% through the installation of sensors and a Lora network to provide an energy data platform.
The SESPEC project
The SESPEC project (led by Vity) aims to provide those who support schools with a tool that makes it possible to quickly raise awareness of the influence of behaviour on electricity consumption, through educational support.
The Partagélec project
The Partagélec project (led by the municipality of Pénestin, Morbihan), on the border between Brittany and Pays de la Loire, will be one of the first collective self-consumption projects set up in France in early 2018.
