SmartGrid - Compteurs intelligents

M. Denis Bloud on December 21, 2009 | 596 Views

La France va enfin installer, comme d'autres pays, des compteurs intelligents permettant une autorégulation du réseau par CPL. Ils s'agit des compteurs "Linky".

Le problème avec les Linky, c'est qu'il n'offrent qu'un seul circuit (ou relais), ce qui empêche une rétroaction de coupure en cas de pointe de consommation dans le réseau. Il faudrait prévoir un 2e relais pour pouvoir interrompre automatiquement et temporairement l'alimentation des radiateurs-climatiseurs-chauffe-eau ou bouilleurs sans perturber les circuits sensibles. Espérons qu'il n'est pas trop tard et que ERDF prendra conscience du problème ! Bonne journée. Denis
