Thomas ROILLET, Daniel MARIN, and Paul GALOPEAU have been working together at the L2EP laboratory and with the MEDEE cluster for several months on the GROUPEE 4.0 project. On Thursday, October 20, a morning of feedback, discussions, and demonstrations was organized at the Partenord Habitat headquarters.
Objective: to discover the innovations deployed in the building and learn more about the research carried out by L2EP.
On the agenda: welcome by Stéphane Boubenec, CEO of Partenord Habitat, and Philippe Degobet, director of the Lille campus; scientific presentations by the various stakeholders (Arts et Métiers, Partenord Habitat, EDF, Enedis, Citiz, DREEV); tour of the demonstrator and presentation of the technical aspects of the car-sharing vehicle by Citiz; followed by a closing cocktail lunch.
During his welcome speech, Philippe DEGOBERT, who heads up the Specialized Master's Degree in Charging Infrastructure and Electric Vehicle Management, said he was proud that the concept he had presented in the magazine Pour la Science in January 2010 was being implemented twelve years later in our region.
GROUPEE 4.0, what is it?
The Groupee 4.0 project is a unique experiment in Hauts-de-France, and consists of three parts:
- Providing new electric mobility services via car sharing for users of the Partenord Habitat demonstration building. The challenge is to test the socio-technical viability and economic feasibility of this new service in the context of the Third Industrial Revolution.
- Implementing an intelligent control system for a bidirectional charging station. This station enables Vehicle to Grid (V2G) technology: it can store surplus energy generated by the rooftop photovoltaic system in the electric vehicle's battery. It also allows the stored energy to be released for later use by the building's tenants, a process known as Vehicle to Building (V2B), as explained by Philippe DEGOBERT.
- Create a digital twin of the demonstrator (modeled by L2EP researchers) to optimize the operation of photovoltaic self-consumption and with the contribution of Vehicle to Grid on this full-scale demonstrator.
This project is co-financed by the Hauts-de-France Region, ADEME, and Europe.
