What is the heat transition?. Around half of all energy consumption in Germany falls within the heating sector, with district heating being a major component. The increasing electrification of this energy source is creating both direct impacts on the electricity supply and indirect synergies in the digitalisation of the energy transition as a whole. This affects not just decentralised systems such as heat pumps.
Netze BW's Metering Point Operator business unit was able to announce the successful launch of a BPL project in its supply area of Ettenheim in the Wallburg district.
After a long successful cooperation in many projects, PPC is now also formally a member of EEBus e.V. The symbiosis between PPC's product portfolio and EEBUS as a protocol for applications upstream and downstream of the grid connection is thus further strengthened.
The German Technical Standards Authority (BSI) wants to accelerate interoperability in IoT PPC has been chosen for a fast track development program, thanks to its leadership in data communications.
The current rollout of smart metering systems is not only creating a basis for the remote reading of measured values, but also a future-proof infrastructure for a more flexible, digitalised energy world. In submetering in particular, models from many different manufacturers need to be read and billed. PPC has developed the "CLS Adapter Submetering", now in its second generation, for this purpose.
The VDE has elected a new committe. PPC CEO Ingo Schönberg will take office as vice chairman on April 27, 2021. The tasks of the FNN at a glance. Picture: VDE FNN
Mainzer Netze GmbH is systematically preparing its grid infrastructure for the challenges of the Energiewende and the expansion of e-mobility. The core element of the digital infrastructure is the use of Broadband Powerline technology.
The first Smart Meter Gateways (SMGW) to achieve Common Criteria Certification from the Federal Office for Security in Information Technology (BSI) have been developed by Power Plus Communications AG.
Stadtwerke Weinheim has transformed a section of its low-voltage grid into a hybrid, IPv6-capable communication infrastructure. For the IP connection of a BPL network in the town centre, street cabinets have been equipped with PPCs BPL-LTE headend.
