该项目的其他两个主要参与者为Alstom Grid 和EDF。该项目资金来源为法国能源和环境机构管理的“智能电网”项目。
这个 NICE GRID 项目将在法国本土提供 first life-size 展示，主要展示锂离子储能电池的效率和灵活性，展示将分为三个电网级水平：第一级变电站、配电站、住宅。
该项目的总的储能容量为2.7MWh。
Saft is to act as a first-rank partner for the energy storage component of the NICE GRID project for design of the power grid of the future. The project, which provides for energy storage as an integral part of the distribution network, is coordinated by ERDF.
Other main partners are Alstom Grid and EDF. The project benefits from a financing within the framework of the programme of the future investment programmes ‘Intelligent electricity networks’ managed by the French energy and environment agency.
The NICE GRID project will provide the first life-size demonstration in mainland France of the efficiency and flexibility associated with electricity storage using Li-ion batteries integrated at three grid levels: at the originating substation, at several distribution substations and finally at the residential level (with overall storage capacity of about 2.7 MWh).
The planned storage will contribute to optimising power flows within the smart grid as a whole and improving the grid’s capacity to use intermittent renewable energy sources. The project will also enable testing of multiple functionalities including load levelling (with regard to both production and consumption of electricity), plant shutdown management and efficient management of the multiple contributors to energy production and consumption involved in the grids of the future.
