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.
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.
User-friendly solutions for bidirectional e-vehicles are being developed in the "Bidirectional charging management" research project. A position paper addresses the question of how e-cars can be used as mobile electricity storage units. The SMGW plays a central role in this.
