Artelys

⭐ In June, our colleagues Basak G. and Léo Quignon had the pleasure of joining the consortium partners at CERTH in Thessaloniki for the kick-off meeting of the Horizon Europe TWIN4CITIES project, officially launching an exciting 42-month adventure!   🙏 Bringing together more than 25 partners from across Europe, the project aims to develop AI-powered Local Digital Twins and innovative solutions that will help cities become climate-neutral, resilient, and sustainable.   🚀 As part of the consortium, Artelys will leverage its expertise and the Artelys Crystal software suite to assess the energy and carbon impacts of the solutions developed throughout the project. Our work will provide valuable insights into their effectiveness, paving the way for the replication of these solutions in other urban environments. Maxime Chammas

🚀 Artelys Knitro 16.0 is out!   Two major new features for nonlinear optimization:   🔧 Nonlinear Modeler — Build nonlinear models natively in C, Python and AMPL with an intuitive expression-based API. Automatic first- and second-order derivatives, parallel evaluations, no callbacks required.   ⚡ Concurrent Solver — Run multiple barrier configurations in parallel, return the first optimal solution. On our pooling benchmark: 100% of instances solved and solution times reduced by 71%. On PGLib (AC optimal power flow): 99.9% solved, 20% faster.   Plus: faster barrier algorithm, improved MIP heuristics (up to 50% better primal gap on MIPLIB 2017), and presolve enhancements.   📖 Release notes: https://lnkd.in/dHbuFF-u 🐍 pip install knitro   👉 Learn more about Artelys Knitro 16.0 in this article: https://lnkd.in/dNG7ba3m 👉 Check out our use cases and explore the many applications of non linear programming: https://lnkd.in/efzMs35k #optimization #nonlinearprogramming #operationsresearch #Knitro #solver #release #mathematicaloptimization

📢 La CRE vient de publier son nouveau rapport « Avenir des infrastructures gazières à 2050 – Rapport 2026 », une étape majeure dans le débat sur l’avenir des réseaux de gaz en France.   Le rapport confirme une réalité structurelle : à mesure que la consommation de gaz diminue, les coûts des réseaux baissent beaucoup plus lentement que les volumes acheminés et que le nombre de clients raccordés. Il en résulte un phénomène difficilement évitable de ciseau tarifaire, avec une hausse pouvant atteindre +3,5 % par an pour les clients du réseau de distribution dans le scénario de baisse des consommations le plus rapide.   Pour gérer cette transition de manière soutenable, la CRE préconise une approche de planification locale et multi-énergies, fondée sur des critères clairs permettant d’identifier les zones les plus propices à un retrait organisé du gaz.   💡 C’est précisément sur ces sujets que nous accompagnons les collectivités territoriales. Nous réalisons des analyses conjointes des réseaux de distribution d’électricité, de gaz et de chaleur afin de quantifier les impacts de différents scénarios prospectifs de transition énergétique et ainsi accompagner la concertation entre territoires et GRD pour permettre l’élaboration d’une planification robuste des réseaux de distribution.   Sur le volet gazier en particulier, nos travaux répondent directement aux questions soulevées par la CRE : 👉 Scénarisation de l’évolution locale de la demande et du nombre de clients 👉 Identification des zones les plus affectées par la sortie progressive du gaz 👉 Identification des zones nécessitant une présence pérenne du réseau pour l'injection du biométhane ou le maintien de l'activité industrielle 👉 Analyse locale de l'équilibre économique du réseau de distribution   🔑 À titre d’exemple, pour l’Eurométropole de Strasbourg, nous avons appliqué dès 2024 une méthodologie très proche de celle aujourd’hui recommandée par la CRE, afin d’identifier les secteurs les plus pertinents pour l'expérimentation d'un retrait local du réseau de gaz. Depuis, nous avons enrichi notre compréhension et nos outils d'analyse des réseaux de distribution en accompagnant Grenoble Alpes Métropole et le Syndicat Départemental d’Énergies de la Dordogne dans la réalisation de leur Schéma Directeur des Énergies.   En combinant une expertise approfondie du secteur énergétique et des outils d’aide à la décision quantitatifs, nous aidons les territoires à transformer les orientations nationales en plans d’action concrets et optimisés à l’échelle locale.   Comment votre organisation anticipe-t-elle l’avenir de ses réseaux de gaz, d’électricité et de chaleur ? N’hésitez pas à nous contacter pour échanger sur ces enjeux !   Lien vers le rapport : https://lnkd.in/e56uk4zJ  

🚀 Artelys participated in the 4th General Assembly of the supremas.eu project in Zaragoza. 💡 This was the perfect opportunity to discuss recent progress with the project partners, as well as to present a prototyped version of a planning optimising tool developed by Artelys over the past few months. 💻 This proof-of-concept is a customised version of Artelys Crystal Super Grid which optimises the flows of biomass and syngas in a logistics network. Using a scenario based on an area around Porto – where the Freixo WWTP (one of the 2 pilot sites of SUPREMAS) is located – we demonstrated how a mobile biomass-to-syngas conversion unit can reduce costs for the overall system.   👉 Want to learn more about SUPREMAS: find all information on the website www.supremas.eu.

🔋 Artelys was invited to present at CEATI!   On June 18th, Paul Brunet, Louis-Pierre Campeau and Thibault Vignon delivered a BESS 101 - Introduction to Battery Energy Storage System - seminar covering key definitions and technical features such as revenue stacking, co-location (pairing BESS with other assets in physical proximity) and current market trends. The session also included a live optimization demonstration using Artelys Knitro, illustrating how advanced optimization can support BESS decision‑making.   👉 Several questions stood out from the audience including the following ones: • How does hydro + BESS co-location unlock new value for existing infrastructure? • Can BESS pair effectively with data centers despite their high load factors? • How do operators balance revenue optimization with reliability obligations?   Behind each of these questions lies the same challenge: turning BESS complexity into a structured, solvable problem. That's exactly what advanced optimization is built for.   👏 Thanks to CEATI and all participants for the engagement!   #AssetManagement #Hydro #BatteryEnergyStorage #BESS #Optimization

🔁 A few weeks ago, ENTSO-E and ENTSOG shared that the TYNDP 2026 scenarios had just been published. Today, we're happy to confirm we are already hard at work on their integration into our simulation platform Artelys Crystal Super Grid. Once delivered to users, no data wrangling, no manual setup. Just launch Artelys Crystal Super Grid, open your study and start modelling. The entire scenario package includes:  ➤ Central Scenario (National Trends+) — covering 2030, 2035, 2040 and 2050 horizons, calibrated from Member States' NECPs and EU climate objectives, that can be leveraged for long-term infrastructure planning  ➤ High & low economic variants — complementing the Central Scenario for 2035 and 2040, to stress-test your analyses under different macroeconomic assumptions  ➤ Pan-European multi-energy models with an hourly resolution — electricity and hydrogen systems and their infrastructure levels are jointly modelled, as required by the TYNDP 2026 framework, capturing cross-vector interactions that single-sector approaches may miss. Interested in analysing the role of gas infrastructure? A combined electricity-hydrogen-gas model will also be available! 💡 Whether you are running a Cost-Benefit Analysis for an infrastructure project, assessing flexibility and security of supply needs, or evaluating the role of hydrogen infrastructure— the data is there, and the model will soon be ready. 👉 Curious about what Artelys Crystal Super Grid can bring to your work?
