ZAC St Sauveur

Identification:  “Dynamic Modelling of a multi-energy grid for the setting-up of a new district named  “Zac Saint Sauveur” in the city of Lille”

Aims:

• Improve the Energy exchange between different type of grids ( heat, gas and Electricity, …)
• Develop real time models of renewable sources and storage systems to cover the major part of the consumption on this district
• Integrate consumptions of new buildings following “Energy+ & Carbon-“rules.
• Help the MEL and his partners to improve the construction of the new district.
• Work in interaction with a many partners to co-elaborate this new district

Lasting: from September 2016 to September 2018 (24 months)

Supporters: The European Metropolis of Lille (the MEL) and Funding “EcoCités”

Context: European Environmental rules “3 X 20“ and the French Energy transition’s laws

Main results in progress:

• About 24 GWh per year of energy mix in 2030
• Development of Locals Renewables Energies sources and storages: CHP, Photovoltaics, solar thermal system , Management of electrical vehicles refilling, New district heating loops
• Best-case Scenarios thought to bring reduction of greenhouse gas and cost of kWh.
• Simulations (hourly time) during 2 representative weeks: one in summer and one in winter following the construction planning.
• Mix of the 3 different energy grids to decrease GhG[1] effects

Partners, Collaborative project with 7 organizations

• MEL : Métropole Européenne de Lille
• Ville de Lille
• GRDF 
• Enedis
• Résonor
• Arts et Métiers ParisTech
