What OmegaWatt Is All About
OmegaWatt is a team of engineers passionate about designing products that users truly need, all while keeping environmental protection front and center. Their focus? Developing and commercializing innovative solutions for detailed energy measurements in buildings and industry. They also conduct energy audits and studies for microgrids, aiming to improve voltage quality with minimal investments. Simply put, OmegaWatt is all about measurement, analysis, and solutions to optimize public electricity networks and energy consumption in buildings.
The Main Benefit: Optimizing Low Voltage Networks
With the rise of new energy uses like electric vehicles, heat pumps, and photovoltaics, low voltage (BT) networks face significant voltage variations—think imbalance, drops, and rises—mostly due to high single-phase loads. OmegaWatt’s expertise helps communities and electricity distributors avoid costly network reinforcements. Here’s what they bring to the table:
- Data analysis of 3U/3I from communicating meters or instrumentation with a network analyzer (Multivoies2).
- Load flow modeling of networks to understand and predict behavior.
- Definition of optimization and balancing solutions that:
- Reduce costs by 5 to 10 times
- Cut constraints by 2 to 6 times
- Address all voltage imbalances, including drops (withdrawal) and rises (injection)
Innovative Tools: The Multivoies2 Network and Energy Analyzer
One of OmegaWatt’s standout innovations is the Multivoies2, a compact, modular network analyzer designed to evaluate the quality of electrical supply and study electricity consumption in complex buildings and factories. It’s not just a tool; it’s a multi-departure energy analyzer that fits seamlessly into a network of communicating sensors. Manufactured and marketed since 2022 by their partner Adecwatts, Multivoies2 targets energy efficiency stakeholders—from study offices and local authorities to heating operators and building managers—who want to get a clear picture of their electricity distribution and network supply quality.
Research & Development: Driving Innovation Forward
Half of OmegaWatt’s activity is dedicated to R&D and innovation, focusing on renewable electricity production, electrical network management and optimization, and electric mobility. Their expertise spans fluid mechanics, embedded electronics, power electronics, and mechanical power transmission. This commitment to research ensures they stay at the cutting edge of energy solutions, constantly pushing the boundaries to meet tomorrow’s challenges.
Real-World Applications and Upcoming Events
OmegaWatt’s work is not just theoretical; it’s showcased in international congresses and real projects. For instance, their oscillating wind turbine concept has been in development for nearly 20 years and was recently presented at the CSME-CFDSC-CSR 2025 in Montreal. They also plan to present their active versus passive BT network balancer at CIRED 2025 in Geneva. Plus, they keep a close eye on evolving standards like the ENEDIS voltage plan and participate in key industry events such as the FNCCR Congress 2024 in Besançon, where prototypes and solutions for new energy uses are unveiled.
