Introduction
"A smart grid integrates advanced sensing technologies, control methods and integrated
communications into the current electricity grid."
United States Department of
Energy*
"Un réseau intelligent est un ensemble formé du réseau électrique proprement dit et d'un
réseau de télécommunication. Il permet une gestion avancée de la production, des moyens de
stockage et de la charge."
GDF Suez**
"… European Technology Platform SmarGrids defines smart grids as electricity networks that
can intelligently integrate the behavior and actions of all users connected to it – generators,
consumers and those that do both – in order to efficiently deliver sustainable, economic and
secure electricity supply."
European Commission***

A first: the smart grid in practice, Volt-AIR ProjectTo demonstrate the advantages of the smart grid inpractice, Siemens Belgium-Luxembourg has launched two projects:
• Installation of a mini smart grid (a “micro grid”) at their site in Huizingen. This grid, which is fed by almost 10,000 m2 of solar panels, will enable ten electric cars to charge up their batteries via ten charging poles in Anderlecht and Huizingen. If the demand for energy rises, the vehicles feed energy back into the micro grid. The cars are used by Siemens employees for business journeys.
• Two e-cars are also involved in a joint project between Siemens and SNCB Holding: this is a unique trial in which the partners plan to examine the impact of electric cars on individual mobility. Train stations in Ghent, Liège and Brussels are to be equipped with Siemens charging poles and employees can use the electric cars in combination with the train for travel between home and work.
