Use cases

The best way to understand the power of SPIE innovations is to see them working on the ground – or in the air or the water. From overland power lines to offshore wind parks, from streetlights to server farms: innovative SPIE solutions are saving energy and cutting costs across Europe. Read on to learn about specific examples of how we have developed and deployed new processes, services, products, and tools.

Reelframe device: an innovative approach to streamline transmission line mounting.

Protecting crossings during transmission line mounting is a critical but challenging operation. The process is typically time-consuming and labour-intensive, often requiring additional subcontractors to ensure safe and compliant installation. These operational constraints translate into higher costs and extended project timelines, creating a need for a more efficient approach.

Large-scale BESS: meeting France’s ultra-fast frequency and voltage requirements

Grid management is becoming increasingly complex due to the growing share of variable renewable energy in the power mix. In France, electricity grid requirements are particularly demanding, especially for ultra-fast frequency and voltage control.Coupled with the challenge of real-time control of multiple devices across multiple subsystems, these stringent standards create significant barriers to the deployment of large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
