We need to take action now, and in collaboration with Thüga SmartService GmbH, we’re setting a new milestone! Our Smart Meter Gateway 2.0 has been certified by Thüga SmartService, and we look forward to continuing our successful partnership!
[:de]A scalable rollout requires the ability to connect multiple meters via a smart meter gateway. It is crucial that data reception and transmission meet the same quality and security standards as in a point-to-point connection. The advantage of the new “1:n solutions” is that they work wirelessly with over 50 meters, eliminating the need for complex RS485 cabling.[:]
[:de]E.ON, Netze BW, Robotron, Landis+Gyr, and PPC are testing an intelligent, recording load profile measurement system (iRLMSys) for industrial and commercial customers and large-scale generation facilities.[:]
2022 was a particularly active and exciting year for the smart metering industry. PPC will meet the numerous challenges and developments in the coming year with the second generation of its Smart Meter Gateway, to further strengthen our portfolio of technology and applications.
Why SMGW 2.0?
“Newer, higher, further” could of course be the watchwords, as in many product development cycles, but for the development of our second generation Smart Meter Gateways, other factors are the key drivers.
The unIT-e² research project is moving from the laboratory phase to the practical phase. In the project’s subcluster called Harmon-E, test subjects have now been successfully equipped with a digital grid connection consisting of SMGW and HEMS. This means that the controllable grid connection can now be tested in real-world operation within the context of Section 14a. The project expects this to yield new insights into the necessity of control interventions and to provide valuable information for grid monitoring.
coneva GmbH has successfully integrated its EMS into the CLS solutions offered by Power Plus Communications AG of Mannheim. This creates a digital grid connection comprising SMGW and EMS for the management of controllable loads and prosumers.
Under the slogan “Smart & Secure at the Edge,” PPC is launching the SMGW 2.0—the next-generation smart meter gateway—at E-world. The trade show will also focus on improved solutions for the rollout as well as new, innovative CLS solutions.
The five partners in the SMGW-forwards funding project share a common goal: to accelerate the digital transformation of the energy transition. The focus is on further developing the smart meter gateway and the surrounding process landscape in accordance with the phased plan, as well as evaluating them in practice.
