Direct Marketing via iMSys: Interoperable, Market-Oriented Control

[:de]Controllable generation facilities are one of the key drivers for a successful energy transition. After all, they allow us to tap into vast, previously untapped flexibility in the grid to integrate decentralized generators and volatile consumption peaks with minimal losses. In doing so, prosumers must not only be integrated into the grid in a way that benefits the grid from the outset, but they must also be brought on board through market-oriented control mechanisms. Synergies between hardware, software, and infrastructure are crucial for the successful, cost-effective implementation of direct marketing. These requirements served as the starting point for the collaboration between Swistec, Next Kraftwerke, MeterPan, and PPC.[:]
This is what 1:n looks like in practice—co.met connects 21 customers in Saarbrücken via a smart meter gateway

[: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.[:]
iRLMSys – Smart Meter for Industry Is Coming

[: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.[:]
coneva and PPC Successfully Integrate Energy Management System with iMSys via CLS

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.
