GreenLys
A large-scale, urban smart grid demonstrator project in Lyons and Grenoble
SMART ELECTRIC
GRIDS
PROJECT SUPPORTED BY ADEME AS PART OF THE RÉSEAUX ÉLECTRIQUES INTELLIGENTS (SMART ELECTRIC GRIDS) SCHEME (OF THE INVESTMENTS FOR THE
FUTURE PROGRAMME - PIA)
Duration: 4 years
Launch: May 2012
Total cost of the project: €36.8M
Including PIA support: €9.3M
Location: Lyon and Grenoble
Coordinator
Context
Changes in ways of generating, consuming and managing the electricity are leading to
the transformation of the electric distribution grid :
The liberalisation of markets and regulatory developments have increased the roles
and responsibilities of stakeholders operating in the energy sector ;
The growing environmental awareness, associated with climate change, has led to
the emergence of decentralised production using renewable energy sources and the
propagation of Demand-Side Energy Management (DSEM) policies that raise the
awareness of “consumer-players” ;
The emergence of new uses and modes of consumption is putting pressure on the
management and operation of the distribution grid which has to change while main-
taining the same standards of quality and security of supply.
The transition from “simple and centralised” electric systems to a “complex and de-
centralised” systems.
The smart electric grids of the future have to face to these new issues.
Objectives
The GreenLys project aims to:
Test and deploy innovative solutions for the electric system
(decentralised electricity generation, smart meters, management of distribution grids,
new load-shifting and DSEM offers and energy management solutions for custom-
ers) ;
Define a value chain for customers, distribution grid managers, energy suppliers,
energy generators, industrial equipment manufacturers and local authorities ;
Design and ensure the integration of components into the smart electric system while
conforming to key environmental, societal, technological and economic issues.
Implementation Establishment of a technological showcase by 2016, consisting of two experimental plat-
forms in Lyons and Grenoble in preparation for its widespread deployment.
Experimentation with services to 1,000 residential customers and 40 tertiary sites
equipped with smart meters in an urban area.

Expected results
Innovation
Experiments with innovative pricing offers and services ;
Optimisation of investments in grids and metering infra-
structures ;
Platforms development adapted to the commercial
aggregator’s processes and establishment of a pilot
platform ;
Improvement of renewable energies integration.
Economic
Analysis of economic benefits allocation between different
stakeholders of the electricity chain.
Environment
Greenhouse gas emissions shall be significantly reduced
thanks to:
A better integration of electricity generated from renew-
ably energy sources ;
An advanced and optimised management of the distri-
bution grid ;
The reduction and smoothing out of consumption
peaks and development of new uses ;
Energy savings due to the optimised management of
the final customer’s equipment.
Social
Raising the awareness of the final customer, who becomes
a stakeholder due to a greater control of its electricity con-
sumptions.
Application and markets
The distribution of values between the different stakehold-
ers in the electrical system gives us a clear view of the
benefits for each party: final customers, local authorities,
suppliers, producers, aggregators, grid managers and
manufacturers.
The technologies connected to the “Linky” smart meter,
combined with innovative offers, will inform customers
about their modes of consumption and may lead to chang-
es in behaviour. Consequently, in an environmentally re-
sponsible approach, a change in habits is expected, which
shall facilitate energy savings and load-shifting.
