Vos missions
Great assignments await you with our key account clients in rich and varied environments
- Be part of a dynamic development team responsible for our client’s business-critical SCADA system operating 24/7 to keep our power perimeter balanced in Belgium, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. We aim to extend the geographical scope and integrate more and more smaller and very flexible assets.
- We develop tools to support the real-time control of power plants, to integrate flexibility assets, and to comply with European grid codes to support the energy transition. Out tools are mainly used to:
• monitor the production assets, available capacities from our power plants
• provide information between TSO’s and real-time SCADA system (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition);
• calculate the real-time setpoint to send to the powerplants to keep the balance of the perimeter - based on the production plan, real-time acquisition and other inputs (FCR, aFRR, mFRR), calculate the real-time setpoint to send to the powerplants to keep the balance of the perimeter:
o FCR: Frequency Containment Reserve,
o aFRR: Automatic Frequency Restoration Reserve,
o mFRR : Manual Frequency Restoration Reserve,
See the FCR, aFRR & mFRR principle in the video about balancing Keeping the Balance (elia.be)
Note that similar mechanisms are in place in other countries.
