Energy management

Developing valuation tools and models for generation assets to

• ptimise EDF’s complex and diversified energy mix

Simulating competitive situations to better understand markets and

how they evolve

New daily production plan

Forecasting gas prices : portfolios and marginal sourcing costs (G, S, I, UK, F). Study on regulating third-party access to gas storage.

EXODE model: forecasting spot prices 12 days ahead of time

Extending the useful life of equipment Developing new technical solutions to maximise handling capacity of

infrastructures and increase network availability

Making the infrastructures as resistant as possible to extreme

weather risks

Transmission

Evaluation, for RTE, of available throughput capacity and risks in the event of

• verload.

Extending the useful life of high-voltage circuit breakers. Analysing shutdowns and proposing preventive measures for electronic components in network protection equipment: shutdowns avoided ! An economical solution for locating and stopping SF6 leaks at stations without any isolation measures or disassembly (experiment conducted at Paluel).
