Under the agreement, the companies will focus on innovative product development in the next five years while leveraging ESI’s Virtual Prototyping technologies.
The new solutions and products co-created will be exclusive to EDF EN.
As part of the agreement, ESI will provide studies to optimize the day-to-day operations and maintenance of existing installations to EDF Energies Nouvelles as well as support the development of new renewable energy installations which include photovoltaic installations, wind farms, and offshore wind farms.
ESI France COO Eric Daubourg said: "ESI is, more than ever, the partner of choice for testing and guaranteeing the safety of industrial installations.
"We built early partnerships in the nuclear energy sector and continue our long history of engagement in the electricity sector with EDF Group. This new five year partnership with EDF EN is a sign of the successful implementation of ESI’s Virtual Prototyping strategy in the field of green energy, and reaffirms our presence throughout the energy sector."
