Die Herausforderung: Parallele Infrastruktur für Strom und Wärme

Während das Smart Meter Gateway (SMGW) bereits flächendeckend im Stromsektor ausgerollt wird, existiert in der Wärmeversorgung noch eine eigene, separate Kommunikationsinfrastruktur. In der Fernwärme werden dafür unterschiedliche Kommunikationstechnologien eingesetzt – meist handelt es sich dabei um schmalbandige Technologien.

In der Praxis bedeutet das für die Liegenschaft: neben dem Smart Meter Gateway für die Stromsparte, wird eine zusätzliche Infrastruktur für Wärmemessung und weitere -anwendungen aufgebaut. Parallelstrukturen verursachen nicht nur höhere Investitions- und Betriebskosten, sondern erhöhen immer auch die Komplexität in Installation, IT-Betrieb und Wartung. Darüber hinaus sind Schmalbandtechnologien häufig nicht belastbar genug für innovative Anwendungen in der Fernwärme, wie zum Beispiel das Regeln von Hausübergabestationen aus der Ferne.

Wieso also nicht eine einheitliche Infrastruktur nutzen, um Messdaten, Regel- und Zustandswerte sowie weitere Anwendungen beider Sparten, cybersicher und digital zu übertragen?

Der Ansatz: Nutzung des CLS-Kanals für Wärmeanwendungen

Hier setzt ein aktuelles Projekt zwischen der KT-Elektronik (eine Tochter der SAMSON AG) und PPC an.

In gemeinsamer Zusammenarbeit wurde ein SAMSON Wärmeregler über den PPC CLS Adapter an ein Backendsystem angebunden. Das Smart Meter Gateway stellte die Datenübertragung und damit Anbindung an das Kundenbackend sicher.

Ein Wärmeregler, wie in diesem Falle der SAMSON TROVIS 5578, nutzt dabei die WAN-Verbindung des SMGW zur Kommunikation mit einem Backendsystem. In diesem Fall das SAMSON eigene „SAM District Energy.“

Die durch den Smart Meter Rollout aufgebaute, BSI-regulierte Kommunikationsinfrastruktur des SMGW wird somit konsequent für Fernwärmeanwendungen weiterentwickelt.

Im Ergebnis bedeutet das:
Ein cybersicherer Kanal pro Liegenschaft – spartenübergreifend.

Abgestimmte Kommunikationsprozesse und vereinheitlichte Architektur

Die Anbindung zwischen SAMSON Wärmeregler und SMGW+CLS wurde erfolgreich im Labor getestet.

Darunter fielen folgende gemeinsame Arbeiten:

Das demonstriert die technische Machbarkeit. Für SAMSON und PPC war es entscheidend, hier die nächsten Innovationsschritte voranzugehen. Der Testversuch kann Stadtwerken einen Weg aufzeigen, wie Rollouts zukünftig über mehrere Sparten hinweg vereint werden können. Und diese so kosteneffizienter und schneller werden.

Fazit: Das SMGW wird zur überspannenden Kommunikationsplattform

Damit wird erneut deutlich, dass das Smart Meter Gateway in Zukunft Mehrwerte bieten kann, die über die Kernfunktionen in der Stromsparte weit hinausgehen. Das SMGW wird zur spartenübergreifenden Kommunikationsplattform.

Für Energieversorger und Stadtwerke bedeutet das perspektivisch:

Gerade in einer Zeit, in der Effizienz, Cybersecurity und regulatorische Konformität gleichermaßen gefordert sind, kann diese Bündelung ein großer strategischer Vorteil sein.

The Challenge: Parallel Infrastructure for Electricity and Heat

While the smart meter gateway (SMGW) is already being rolled out across the entire electricity sector, the heat supply sector still relies on its own separate communication infrastructure. In district heating, various communication technologies are used for this purpose—mostly narrowband technologies.
In practice, this means that for a property, in addition to the Smart Meter Gateway for the electricity sector, an additional infrastructure for heat metering and other applications must be set up. Parallel structures not only result in higher investment and operating costs but also increase the complexity of installation, IT operations, and maintenance. Furthermore, narrowband technologies are often not robust enough for innovative applications in district heating, such as the remote control of building transfer stations.
So why not use a unified infrastructure to transmit measurement data, control and status values, as well as other applications from both sectors, in a cyber-secure and digital manner?

The Approach: Using the CLS Channel for Heating Applications

This is where a current project between KT-Elektronik (a subsidiary of SAMSON AG) and PPC comes in.
Working together, a SAMSON heating controller was connected to a backend system via the PPC CLS adapter. The smart meter gateway ensured data transmission and thus the connection to the customer’s backend.
A heat controller, such as the SAMSON TROVIS 5578 in this case, uses the SMGW’s WAN connection to communicate with a backend system. In this instance, that system is SAMSON’s own “SAM District Energy.”
The BSI-regulated communication infrastructure of the SMGW, established through the smart meter rollout, is thus being consistently further developed for district heating applications.
As a result, this means:
One cyber-secure channel per property—across all sectors.

Coordinated communication processes and standardized architecture

The connection between the SAMSON heat controller and the SMGW+CLS was successfully tested in the lab.
This involved the following collaborative efforts:

This demonstrates technical feasibility. For SAMSON and PPC, it was crucial to take the next steps in innovation here. The pilot project can show municipal utilities a way to integrate rollouts across multiple divisions in the future, making them more cost-effective and faster.

Conclusion: The SMGW is becoming an overarching communication platform

This once again highlights that the Smart Meter Gateway will be able to offer added value in the future that goes far beyond its core functions in the electricity sector. The SMGW is becoming a cross-sector communication platform.

For energy suppliers and municipal utilities, this means the following in the long term:

Especially at a time when efficiency, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance are equally critical, this consolidation can be a major strategic advantage.
