Heat meters from Belimo, Robotron, and PPC have been successfully connected to the iMSys via the CLS channel
Mannheim-based PPC and Swiss company Belimo have successfully connected heat meters to the iMSys via the CLS channel. This success demonstrates that even meters and sectors outside the scope of submetering solutions can be quickly and easily integrated into the smart metering system.
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.[:]
PPC and EnQS Launch Joint Test Environment for Interoperable iMSys Applications
[:de]Users in the energy and building management systems sectors need access to the energy sector’s digital infrastructure to implement new ideas. The Intelligent Metering System (iMSys) paves the way for this and serves as the central point of contact. A high degree of interoperability is crucial to making these new possibilities accessible to a broad user base. [:]
SMGW 2.0 Kicks Off at Thüga SmartService
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!
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.[:]
The unIT-e² innovation project launches a field test to increase flexibility in grid-friendly control
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 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.
The next-generation smart meter gateway makes its debut at E-world
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.
unIT-e²: Smart Connectivity for Electric Mobility
29 partners, including Bayernwerk, BMW, Mercedes, PPC, Stadtwerke München, Tennet, and Volkswagen—the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) is providing over 30 million euros in funding for a large-scale real-world laboratory aimed at integrating electric mobility in a way that benefits the market and the grid.
