Achieving low cost metering that can Accurately analyse the Grid and provide Quality of service PREMIODistributedgeneration, Renewable Energies & LoadManagmentthrough an integrated and optimized sort of a way

Project goal « The project aims to implement in thePACA region an innovative and replicable local energy architecture (VPP) optimizing the integration of Distributed Generation and storage, dynamic load control and energy efficiency initiatives to relieve stress on the local electrical power grid (reduce peak load) while reducing CO2 within the territory » • Phase 1 : Studies (2008 – mid2009) • Phase 2 : Operating phase • Installation : 01/2009 to 07/2009 • Exploitation : summer 2009 to winter 2011 • Results : spring 2011 • Prolongation : 2012 Budget : 8M€ 2,5 M€ funding by PACA region

Objectives of the demonstration project • To develop and test a VPP at the distribution system level • use of existing Distributed Resource technologies • communication with a Control Unit • requests for load reduction are based on local load peak and national CO2 emissions • To identify weakness and strengths of the existing Distributed Resource technologies and requirements when integrated into this VPP • To learn lessons during the: • Development of the architecture • Installation of equipment • Assessment of results • Recruitment of customers • Improvement of demand response acceptability

PREMIO: An open field laboratory on SG • One of the 1st field attempt in France on SG demonstration • A DSM project: Demand Response + energy efficiency • An open « field laboratory » • A tool located at the end of the supply chain dedicated to relieve local constraints • Territorial approach and strong integration of local stakeholders • Optimization of DG, storage and use of curtailable loads SG: Smart Grids DSM: Demand-Side-Management DG: Distributed Generation

Social acceptability and Premio Social acceptability and Premio/ Put back the end user at the heart of the project 4/ Organization of social events (information evenings, meetings, open days, inauguration ….) 5/ Organization of schools pedagogic actions

Result and Orientations • The value created need to minimize the price of equipment • Introduction on new TIC actors • Necessity of smart meter • Analysis of the value of the big data coming from the experiment • Evolution of the contractual market for flexibility • Relation to the customer is essential • Introduction of expert in residential customer behavior, ergonomist, • Simplify the message and the services in direction of customers • The territory and the collectivity has a major role • In education • In developing the vision on a territory

Evolution • A new project is on building • The territory is the town of Frejus • The utilities are coming from TIC and Energy Sectors • The objectives are : • offering services to residential customers • energy is not only electricity • the business model on work is mixing old energy world and TIC world • The result will be a territory with • A more efficiency consumption of energy • An energy mix with more renewable • A bigger sensibilisation of the population about these subjects
