What is a smart grid: Schneider Electric
The world’s traditional electrical network – simple and linear, with centralized energy production and passive consumption – is undergoing a transformation to a much more complex, interconnected, and interactive model: the Smart Grid. However, for this network to become intelligent, users will require connectivity, simplicity, and security. They will also need access to a reliable and safe energy source that guarantees optimal operation of their installations, infrastructures, and equipment.
The five mains triggers of the Smart Grid
Schneider Electric has the foresight, the offers, and the willpower necessary to be a major player within this energy revolution, as we enter a new era of intelligent energy management:
With renewable energy, consumers can produce their own energy and access a ‘greener’ energy mix
Flexible distribution enables a more responsive and stable electrical network
Active energy efficiency and energy management make energy visible and allow individuals to act on
their consumption
Electric vehicles are revolutionizing the perception of mobility and, at the same time, access to energy,
its use, and storage
Real-time grid management enables anticipation of consumption and adaptation of the offer
