Atos signs key contract with RTE to renew France's power grid control system
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Paris, November 8 2017 - Atos, a global leader in digital transformation,
announces a new contract with RTE, the French transmission system operator, to
renew its extra high voltage power grid control system. Led by Atos Worldgrid,
the Atos entity for smart energy solutions, the project aims to enhance the
reliability and efficiency of the largest electricity transmission network in
Europe.
As part of this ambitious program, Atos Worldgrid, in partnership with global
technology leader ABB, provides the design, development, deployment, and support
of RTE's national and regional electricity network control system. ABB provides
the ABB Ability Network Manager control system (SCADA/EMS system), in line with
international standards, and the engineering that goes with it.
At the heart of the energy transition and as the European leader, RTE needs to
ensure the security of supply and the quality of its infrastructure to ensure
optimal management of the flow of electricity on the network. In order to fully
respond to RTE's needs, Atos Worldgrid and ABB will put in place a system which
covers all the requirements with the following advantages:
* Standard system, configured to fit RTE's needs, to guarantee a proven
performance and levels of service expected;
* Simple, safe and efficient architecture, with synchronized and redundant
data centers, providing operators with a completely transparent continuity
of service;
* Guaranteed information security, reinforced by the architecture with expert
support;
* Standardization and scalability, in accordance with ENTSO-E regulations,
enabling the system to be extended to European level.
Sebastien HENRY, Chief Information Officer at RTE, said: "The renewal of our
control and supervision system is one of the key elements of RTE's industrial
transformation, adapting the French transmission grid to the energy transition's
challenges. Developed in close collaboration with our long-standing partners
Atos and ABB, this new technological solution will be part of the electrical and
digital system that RTE currently implements to make the most of its
infrastructure."
Franck Chevalley, Head of Atos Worldgrid concludes: "As one of RTE's long-term
partners, Atos has already demonstrated its ability to provide a quality service
over the long-term through the National Control System (SNC). Our knowledge of
the specifics of this profession in the world of energy, positions Atos as a
crucial partner. With ABB, the Atos Group is building a solution, based on the
best practice in the market and on long-term experience of standing alongside
RTE to meet the challenges of the energy challenges of tomorrow."
Atos and ABB are active members of the Think Smartgrids association which aims
to develop the French smart grids Sector in France and to promote it across both
Europe and globally.
