Creos Living Lab
The “Creos Living Lab” project aims to assess the impact of the energy transition on our low-voltage electricity network, while testing innovative solutions to manage these effects.
In the village of Cruchten, 14 households equipped with 14 electric vehicles, 12 heat pumps, 11 photovoltaic installations, and 4 batteries will help Creos simulate the electricity network as it might look in 2030, within a real-world environment.
This setup will allow us to simulate various network scenarios, such as promoting self-consumption during midday hours or shifting electric vehicle charging outside of peak times, in order to prepare for specific challenges related to the energy transition.
Smart Grid - The Grid of the future
The electricity networks of tomorrow will be smart and capable of monitoring decentralized electricity production, precisely controlling variations in injections into distribution networks, and managing occasional consumption peaks—such as those caused by electric vehicle charging.
Smart meters are the first building block in the development of intelligent electricity networks, also known as “Smart Grids.”
380kV
To safely meet the continuously growing demand for electricity, Creos plans to build a 380 kV extra-high voltage line from Bertrange to Aach (Germany), passing through Bofferdange.
The project also includes the construction of a 380/220/110–65 kV transformer substation in the vicinity of Bofferdange / Altlinster.
This network modernization aims to ensure national supply security and improve the quality of life for the entire population.
Smarty
To facilitate the development of renewable energies, pave the way for new sectors such as electro-mobility and the decentralised storage of energy, as well as respond to new consumer demands and habits, Creos is making extensive investments in its electricity and natural gas networks. Your new smart meter plays an important role in this energy transition.
