Presentation, objective(s):

The appropriate solution for the electrification of areas not connected to the network, located in the upper reaches of Reunion Island, is the development of micro-grids. As part of this project, the PIMENT laboratory, in close collaboration with SIDELEC Réunion, worked on the experimentation of a micro electrical network on the Roche-Plate site.

This research work concerned:

  • the study of a solar production and electrochemical storage unit supplying three homes; this unit has been operational since January 2019.
  • The development of a mathematical model for managing electricity consumption in order to define the optimal mode of operation of this micronetwork.
  • The creation of a decision support tool through a Human-Machine Interface in order to advise and guide users in reasoned consumption of energy resources.

The partners of the operation

SIDELEC, University of Tuléar (Madagascar), University of Le Havre
