Elizaveta KUZNETSOVA, of Russian origin, has a Master in ‘Management of Eco-innovation’ from the UVSQ. Her academic path includes two engineering diplomas: in mechanical engineering from the State Technical Uni-versity Moscow and in Fluid Mechanics from the École Nationale Supérieure d’Électronique d’Électrotechnique d’Informatique d’Hydraulique et des Télécommunications (ENSEEIHT) of Toulouse. Elizaveta took part in projects revolving around energy with ALSTOM. Her thesis is dedicated to mastering the issues linked to the integration of renewable energy in intelligent urban electricity networks (Smartgrids). This subject, hinging on the energy of the future, treats technologies under lock and key in the context of pilot projects developed in France, in academic partnerships such as Ecole Centrale and Supelec, as well as industrial partnerships, such as ALSTOM Power. Part of the study will be devoted to the development of non-technical subjects such as social acceptability or finance mechanisms of innovative projects.
