Design and development of a platform for prescribing, dimensioning and realizing distributed energy projects_x000d_

FY 2020-21

Summary
While distributed energies (photovoltaic panel, battery, charge management, etc.) are crucial to the energy transition, their deployment is hampered by the complexity of their implementation. Although the price of equipment has dropped significantly over the past few years, development costs have remained constant and now represent nearly half of a project's expenses. Due to the multitude of parameters, organizations with many geographically distributed buildings have difficulties in defining and implementing clean energy plans. Specifically designed for the commercial and institutional sector, vadiMAP's mission (meaning "moving to My Advanced Power") is to address this challenge and support managers in the design, prescription and implementation of energy diversification projects in order to achieve the following: 1. Energy saving 2. Resilience and autonomy increase 3. GHG emissions reduction. vadiMAP takes advantage of the latest advances in artificial intelligence to automate data collection and analysis to generate the most appropriate configuration for the client's needs at the best price. As an integrated solution accessible online, the vadiMAP client is supported, from the collection of a minimum information, to project implementation and performance monitoring. In short, vadiMAP will be the best guide ever to convert a traditional building energized by centralized energy (the grid) into a full or partial net-zero nanogrid. _x000d_Alors que les énergies distribuées (panneau photovoltaïque, batterie, gestion de la charge, etc.) constituent un maillon essentiel de la transition énergétique, leur déploiement est freiné par la complexité de leur mise en oeuvre.
