On the occasion of the Occitanie Innov show where we were present Thursday, January 31, the agency in charge of the economic development of the Occitanie region (AD’OCC) announced the nominees of this 38th edition of the contest Les Inn’Ovations.

Already winner of the regional call for projects “Self-consumption of photovoltaic electricity 2018” and rewarded at the forum Energaïa at the end of the year, our solution of self-consumption with hydrogen storage, coupled with batteries of second life, was one of the projects nominated. Congratulations to the winners and all the other nominees!

In 2015, Sirea was awarded in the “Innovation & International” category of the contest and was able to benefit from the support of the region and the Madeeli agency to develop its activity. Today, the spinoffs of this regional award, in addition to this new nomination this year, encourage us to continue in our approach of continuous innovation.

Return on Théo’s experience, who, from Rouen to Phnom Penh, passing by Castres, became an engineer in electricity and sustainable development at Sirea.

Théo Rioux, 23 years old and graduate engineer from ESIGELEC in Rouen, is currently in Phnom Penh as part of the partnership signed between the Cambodia Institute of Technology and Sirea. Its mission within the university is to deploy an assembly workshop of electrical cabinets for the realization of practical work in real conditions for the students of the university.

Last month, Theo came back to this mission in an interview in Phnom Penh:

This room equipped with powerful equipment provided by Sirea will allow, through the presence and support of Theo, the implementation of practical work on our PLCs MicroARM range.

These practical exercises will also allow students to program the automatons through the following software infrastructures:

• MicroLADDER
• MicroCONTROL
• MicroHMI
• MicroSERVER

At ITC, the other missions of Theo are linked to this new practical workshop: he provides support during training sessions in which various technical aspects related to automation and industrial electricity are discussed. A fruitful collaboration that should continue in 2019.

Lauched on Monday 17 September, the Autoconsommation.eco platform is now accessible to all.

This new free online service helps individuals and professionals who use a self-consumption photovoltaic system to improve their energy efficiency and to make better use of their own production of electricity.

Total expertise, from A to Z

Developed internally, this online platform combines our years of expertise in the energy sector with our knowledge of web technologies which are offered in a number of our solutions. This new site is simulates a photovoltaic system, enabling users to compare energy usage profiles and to estimate the ideal battery capacity to achieve optimum energy efficiency. No need to spend time on complex calculations in an attempt to work out how to spread out energy consumption to make self-consumption cost-effective : the algorithm designed by Sirea does the job based on simple data (power of the installation, annual consumption, etc.)!

“In just a few clicks, you fill in the fields to establish your energy usage profile and the system offers you the best solutions to spread out your energy consumption. It’s very affordable ! »

Bruno Bouteille, CEO of Sirea

Time-saving for installers

This tool will enable many PV system installers to save time when calculating the size of their customers’ systems. An improved version of the platform is being prepared; professionals will be able to create quotes directly using the platform. Simulations created using the site Autoconsommation.eco can already be exported and shared, which will help professionals to save time when it comes to analysis work.

The ITC (Institute of Technology of Cambodia) and Sirea have recently signed a partnership to enable the university to use our products.

Sirea products for students

This collaboration gives students the opportunity to pilot and work with French-made equipment. Sirea’s equipment will provide ITC’s future technicians and engineers with support for practical training in automation and electronics, helping to consolidate the theoretical courses taught there.

Sirea’s products will enable students to work on:

• MicroARM programmable microcontrollers
• The MicroSERVER monitoring software
• The MicroLADDER programming software
• The MicroLADDER Community platform

A positive partnership

Following initial feedback from the Institute, Sarot Srang, a professor at the ITC, explains the collaboration and Rotanak Chhean, an electronics student, talks about his projects and how Sirea’s products contribute to his studies.

Previously know as “Solea Webshop”, our online iot shop has been changed to let his place to Sirea Shop.

More user friendly, you can find easier and faster what you need. Checkout in few click products that you need, like measurement transducers to IOT sensors and standalone solar kits.

Since its launch in 2015, Sirea has contributed actively to the development of Innofab, in the heart of the Castres-Mazamet area.

What is Innofab?

Innofab is an organisation which is open to everyone (individuals, students, professionals, entrepreneurs), allowing members to use all the available machines to produce unique items (3D printers, 3Dscanner, laser cutter, vinyl printer/cutter) to bring different projects to fruition. It doesn’t stop there: it also provides training on each tool for users. The “Do It Yourself” spirit is key at this young, dynamic company! Its partners include:

• BeProject
• Pierre Fabre
• CCI du Tarn
• Castres-Mazamet Technopole
• IUT Castres
• Sirea

How does Sirea support Innofab?

Sirea’s desire to help was clear. We share the same values, based on partnerships and the development of local activity. Our region is home to a number of innovative, dynamic companies which must be promoted.

In this spirit, Sylvain Robison, Head of Sales at Sirea, was elected as Vice President and is responsible for external company relations at Innofab.

The 11th edition of the EnerGaïa forum was held in Montpellier’s Parc des Expositions and welcomed more than a hundred exhibitors, including Sirea.

Ce salon régional mettant en avant le savoir-faire dans la maîtrise de l’énergie des entreprises en Occitanie fut l’opportunité pour Sirea de découvrir de nouveaux acteurs du domaine, ce qui a également permit à Sirea de faire découvrir sa technologie de gestion de l’énergie aux experts du secteur.

Si vous étiez présents au salon, vous avez sûrement pu assister à la présentation de nos armoires énergies dédiées à l’autoconsommation pour les particuliers et les industriels par Sylvain Robinson.

Un grand merci aux organisateurs et au pôle Derbi, et également aux personnes avec qui nous avons pu échanger sur notre stand.

ESMER (École Supérieur des Métiers des Énergies Renouvelables or Graduate School of Renewable Energy) is developing and consolidating its research activities in Cotonou in Bénin.

At the end of the third session of the Scientific and Educational Council which took place at the end of August, Sirea reaffirmed its commitment to ESMER by signing a tripartite co-operation agreement between ESMER, Ansole (*) and SIREA with the aim of strengthening the research capacities of the new Laboratory of Innovative Processes for Sustainable Energy (Laboratoire de Procédés Innovants pour l’Énergie Durable or PIE in French).

For researchers, the development of the renewable energy sector on the African continent, particularly in Benin, must involve continued research work which takes into account the constraints and needs of local circumstances.

This is why Sirea, a company which is heavily invested in the development of this ambitious project which is unlike any other in Western Africa, has offered its support by offering to equip the PIE laboratory with equipment and software for inspecting, monitoring and managing energy. In this way, Sirea hopes to contribute to strengthening the research activities of the PIE laboratory within the energy sector, which are specific to African pressures and constraints.

*Ansole is an association which aims to boost renewable energy research, education and professional training, with a particular focus on Africa.

Sirea attended Innovation IT Day 2017 in Labège (France) to showcase its energy management solutions with EDF.

On Thursday 29 June, the Diagora Exhibition Centre hosted the Toulouse event on the industrial digital transformation. As part of its participation in the EDF Pulse competition, our company was asked by EDF to join them on their stand to present Sirea’s solutions, used by the French energy provider.

Sylvain Robinson spoke about our shared self-use solutions, presenting our expertise in industrial IoT and addressing the subject of energy efficiency.

From 13th to 15th June 2017, the DERBI competitiveness cluster, in association with the CNRS (FédEsol), organised the 11th edition of the Journées Nationales sur l’Energie Solaire (National Days on Solar Energy or JNES in French) in Perpignan (France).

Held at the Palais des Rois de Majorque (Palace of the Kings of Majorca), André Joffre, the president of the DERBI competitiveness cluster, handed out DERBI/JNES awards to recognise work by companies and scientists.

In the “Industry” category, the president of the DERBI competitiveness cluster gave the award to Sirea, in recognition of the company’s expertise in self-use solutions for industrial clients.

This year, the conference’s main themes were: Digital support for the energy transition, self-use and energy efficiency, subjects at the very heart of the energy transition established by the State for greener growth!
