Technical expertise for the grids of tomorrow

Supporting operators in reliability and the integration of new energy systems

Power grids are entering a new era of complexity

Grid operators today face unprecedented technical and operational challenges. Ageing infrastructure requires targeted reinvestment to maintain power quality and reliability. At the same time, the rapid growth of decentralized renewable generation, the electrification of mobility and heating, the rise of digital technologies, and the need for flexible storage solutions are transforming the way electricity flows through the network.

These evolutions make grid operation more dynamic, less predictable, and increasingly exposed to climatic and cyber‑related risks.

How ENGIE Laborelec can help

Laborelec helps transmission and distribution system operators navigate this complexity with tailored technical expertise and hands‑on support. Our multidisciplinary teams bring decades of experience in monitoring, analysing, and optimizing grids of all sizes and architectures.

We provide a full range of services, including:

  • Field measurement campaigns to characterize grid behaviour, power quality, and equipment performance
  • Advanced laboratory analyses (electrical, mechanical, chemical) to assess asset condition and failure mechanisms
  • Grid modelling and simulation to evaluate stability, hosting capacity, and the impact of new technologies
  • Diagnostic and advisory services to guide investment decisions and improve reliability
  • Support for innovation projects, pilot installations, and research programs on smart grids, flexibility, storage, and renewable integration

By combining deep technical knowledge with practical field experience, we help operators secure their assets, enhance network performance, and prepare for the future evolution of the power system.

Our multidisciplinary services support grid operators in the following domains:

Improving the quality, life span, efficiency and safety of networks

Services include power quality monitoring, electrical equipment inspections, assessments and audits, and related maintenance and renewal advice. It also includes troubleshooting services, for example with respect to electromagnetic interference. In addition, we perform root cause analyses to prevent future problems.

Defining and optimizing network design

Designs are tailored to operator-specific parameters and circumstances, deploying novel technologies where appropriate. Designs take into account decentralized generation scenarios and may include first-of-a-kind solutions in domains like IoT, smart grids, micro-grids, power storage or electric vehicles battery management.

Supplier-independent assistance in network deployment

This includes drawing up specifications for electrical equipment and components and providing supplier-independent advice on the use of techniques and material. Deployment services also include auditing and tuning network settings and performing validation measurements and start-up tests and assessments.
