EnerGrid

A connectable nanogrid controller is able to manage the means of production, the means of storage and connections to electrical networks. It is designed to manage optimally the flow between components connected to it, namely electrical networks, storage and production components.

The developed modular system will be scalable so that it can be applied both in industrial and residential buildings. This way, the buildings becomes self-sufficient in terms of energy production. This approach, which will be studied on a global scale, aims to reduce energy dependency and prevent from the risk of black-out.

The developed system is an entity which constitutes an autonomous energy management block that is connectable to a larger network and, in particular to other autonomous blocks. It is the base of a cloud energy system that integrates the components of a stable and distributed supply and whose resources (production and storage) can be shared through a global platform that handles all flow controllers.
