The wallbox\u2019s power output is reduced to up to 4.2 kW\u2014as required by Section 14 of the German Energy Economy Act (EnWG). Instead of prototypes, only production units are used. Communication takes place via the EEBUS standard. <\/strong> <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f860ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0f860ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ppc.d-f.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/LinkedIn-Beitraege-18.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Figure 1: Production-ready implementation of Section 14a of the German Energy Economy Act (EnWG) via EEBUS using an SMGW, a control box, and direct control of the wallbox<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3b1d6b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f3b1d6b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Since January 1, 2024, German distribution system operators have been required to reduce the power consumption of controllable consumer devices (SteuVE) to as low as 4.2 kW when necessary to support the grid. Transmitting the continuously variable dimming commands required for this has so far posed a challenge for the energy industry. This is because a traditional broadcast control signal or a simple relay box that communicates on an on\/off basis is only of limited use for what is known as \u201cLimitation of Power Consumption\u201d (LPC). \u201cWhat\u2019s needed is a continuous and bidirectional communication solution,\u201d emphasizes Karen Schmid, Team Leader for CLS Products at PPC, the leading provider of Smart Meter Gateways (SMGW). \u201cSuch a solution must also be made available to the market quickly and in large quantities.\u201d In a joint test, PPC and eSystems have now successfully implemented and put into operation the communication chain for an LPC use case.     <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d3456e e-con-full e-flex magic-button-disabled-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5d3456e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cbdc6e2 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cbdc6e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Digital communication via the EEBUS standard allows control commands to be transmitted continuously and bidirectionally. In addition to power limiting, the \u201cMonitoring of Power Consumption\u201d (MPC) use case was also tested. MPC makes it possible to verify whether the power limitation was sufficient. The distribution system operator can make adjustments as needed. All devices are ready for series production and are already being rolled out. \u201cWe have demonstrated that digital \u00a714a control can be implemented using production-ready products. This means that future-proof control solutions can be installed today. This is an enormously important boost for the market,\u201d Karen Schmid continued.     <\/p><p>The test at the eSystems site in Wendlingen involved an SMGW and a CLS gateway from PPC, as well as the ghostONE smart wallbox from eSystems. The SMGW received a dimming command from the aEMT backend, which the CLS gateway then forwarded to the wallbox. The wallbox then limited the charging power. Following a software update to the wallbox, the solution is now ready for field deployment.   <\/p><p>\u201cOur ghostONE is EEBUS-compatible and lays the foundation for a comprehensive solution for legally compliant dimming,\u201d emphasizes Markus Zahner, eMobility Product Manager at eSystems. \u201cWe\u2019re ready for Section 14a.\u201d The Federal Network Agency cites the EEBUS standard as a means of implementing the requirements for controllable consumer devices. eSystems and PPC intend to continue collaborating in the future to further simplify and advance the implementation of Section 14a. Possible applications include, for example, CLS-compatible charging management as well as expanded standards for easier EEBUS commissioning and the use of the PPC solution \u201cControl from the SMGW.\u201d     <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d0b7a4a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d0b7a4a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ppc.d-f.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/PPC_Kundentreffen_2024_Katec_Partner.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since January 1, 2024, German distribution system operators have been required to reduce the power consumption of controllable consumer devices (SteuVE) to as low as 4.2 kW when necessary to support the grid.
