Smart Grid

The foundation for Smart energy. Secure, reliable and flexible networks.

The uptake of low-carbon technologies and intermittent energy supply from renewable sources dictate new ways of designing, building and operating networks.

The ‘build and connect’ approach to traditional grid design needs to move to a ‘connect and manage’ scenario; distributors need to actively manage demand to cope with the rapidly changing energy flows on the network.

Logica has a proven track record in Smart Grids. For distributors, Logica can help build the business case for investment. We also design and deliver the solutions that integrate Smart distribution network technologies with existing business systems. For service suppliers, an effective Smart Grid creates the physical infrastructure for vibrant and competitive retail markets.

Logica is a key partner in developing the world-leading EDP Distribuição Inovgrid project in Portugal, which automates grid management, improves service quality, reduces operating costs, promotes energy efficiency and increases the penetration of renewable energies and electric vehicles.

In the UK, Logica is helping to deliver the Low Carbon London programme, which aims to understand how to build and manage sustainable and innovative power networks.
