rhiienergie decided to install a Smart Grid in Rhäzüns, a Swiss community in the canton of Grisons. For this, 450 households use EasyMeter Q3S meters in combination with PPC’s Broadband Powerline (BPL) Gateways. PPC’s BPL System underpins data communication throughout the Smart Grid.

Our Partner Swistec’s solution delivers remote meter reading via a single communication medium, as well the possibility to switch ripple control receivers, such as boilers and street lighting. For this purpose, RKS+ and SRvario+, a state-of-the-art ripple-control receiver, are applied.
