With the goal of establishing 15 million electric vehicles in Germany by 2030, the path of e-mobility is clearly defined. To achieve energy independence in the transportation sector and advance national climate goals, electric mobility as a key pillar is indispensable.

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.

[: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.[:]

[: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. [:]

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!

[: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.[:]
