RTE is one of the largest high and extra-high voltage electricity transmission networks in Europe. Since 2015, RTE teams have been using Cosmo Tech Asset Simulation Twins to transform their approach to asset investment planning and optimize network maintenance and investment.
Through simulation, RTE enhanced the dialogue with the regulator, demonstrating the effects on and contributions to changes in technical policies on the network and investments over time. The regulator understood not only the impacts of the proposed strategy but also the reasons behind the requested spend by comparing the results of different scenario simulations.
Explore the challenges RTE faced and the strategic thinking behind their shift from traditional methods to a simulation-driven approach to asset management.
There are different ways to calculate optimal strategies, but only simulation can reassure us or, on the contrary, alert us to potential pitfalls.
