The deployment of smart grids in electricity systems has given rise to much interdisciplinary research. The new technology is seen as an additional instrument available to States to achieve targets for promoting competition, increasing the safety of electricity systems and combating climate...

Smart Grid technology appears necessary to succeed in activating the demand through demand side management (DSM) programs. This would in turn improve energy efficiency and achieve environmental targets through controlled consumption. The many pilot projects led worldwide involving smart grids...

Demand side management (DSM) in electricity markets could improve energy efficiency and achieve environmental targets through controlled consumption. For the past 10 years or so DSM programmes have registered significant results. However, detailed analysis of its real impact as observed by a...

Le processus européen de libéralisation et d'intégration des différents marchés européens en un marché unique poursuit son développement. Cependant, le contexte énergétique de l'Europe dans lequel intervient cette ouverture des marchés de l'énergie se modifie. Aussi, la question de...

The study presented in this paper takes part in a project aiming to increase the value of solar production for residential application with a medium-term vision where preferential solar energy subsidies will decrease before to disappear. This study is dedicated to propose and develop optimal...

Some European regulators have decided to force competition in their nationalmarkets. They have decided to go beyond the second directive and apply asymmetric regulation. Gas release programs and market shares constraints are the two asymmetric decisions imposed to incumbents. When a regulator...

The work presented in this paper deals with a project aiming to increase the value of photovoltaic (PV) solar production for residential application. To contribute to the development of the new functionalities for such system and the efficient control system to optimize its operation, this paper...

Some European regulators have decided to force competition in their nationalmarkets. They have decided to go beyond the second directive and apply asymmetric regulation. Gas release programs and market shares constraints are the two asymmetric decisions imposed to incumbents. When a regulator...

La communauté des ingénieurs est depuis de nombreuses années mobilisée sur la problématique de l'insertion des sources d'énergie renouvelables dans le système électrique du fait de leur caractère décentralisé et/ou intermittent mais l'apparition des économistes dans ce champ de...

Le développement des réseaux intelligents (smart grids en anglais, ou encore SG) dans les systèmes électriques fait aujourd'hui l'objet de nombreuses recherches pluridisciplinaires. Cette nouvelle technologie est vue comme un outil supplémentaire que les Etats pourraient mobiliser pour...
