Electric cars as electricity storage
Im Forschungsprojekt „Bidirektionales Lademanagement“ werden nutzerfreundliche Lösungen für bidirektionale E-Fahrzeuge entwickelt. Ein Positionspapier thematisiert die Frage, wie E-Autos als mobile Stromspeicher genutzt werden können. Das SMGW spielt dabei eine zentrale Rolle.
Green Light for the Mandatory Rollout
The BMWi and BSI have published a positive market analysis following the third Gateway certification. PPC-SMGWs have been in the rollout phase since 2018 and are in use at 50 MSBs.
The market statement is here!
Three smart meter gateways from different manufacturers have been certified by the BSI, and the positive market analysis has been published—marking the start of mandatory installation throughout Germany.
First Smart Meter Gateway type-approved under weights and measures law
Our Smart Meter Gateway (SMGW) has received the type examination certificate from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). This confirms compliance with the requirements of the German Weights and Measures Act and thus, among others, PTB-A 50.8 for all required tariff use cases (TAF 1, 2, 6, 7). Harz Energie Netz GmbH has successfully put its first BSI-certified 450 MHz Smart Meter Gateways from PPC into operation, reaching a new milestone.
