SMILE's involvement in this project
Principal European demonstrator of smart grids for gas, West Grid Synergy is a powerful and ambitious project and a trailblazer in its contribution to the gas activities of SMILE.
The project aims to demonstrate the reality of a territory powered 100% by green gas by adapting infrastructures, management and use of networks.
New gas infrastructures:
- A 43km gas pipeline provides an outlet for biomethane production in Mauges
- The first two “backfeeding” installations in France to send surplus biomethane from the distribution networks to the transport networks.
New solutions combining networks and digital
- Optimisation of “backfeeding” systems.
- Dynamic regulation of the delivery pressure at the interface between the transport network and the downstream distribution network which receives biomethane supply.
- Indicator to promote the production of renewable gasses in the territories.
- Predictive maintenance.
