Direct Marketing via iMSys: Interoperable, Market-Oriented Control

[: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.[:]

This is what 1:n looks like in practice—co.met connects 21 customers in Saarbrücken via a smart meter gateway

[: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.[:]

The unIT-e² innovation project launches a field test to increase flexibility in grid-friendly control

The unIT-e² research project is moving from the laboratory phase to the practical phase. In the project’s subcluster called Harmon-E, test subjects have now been successfully equipped with a digital grid connection consisting of SMGW and HEMS. This means that the controllable grid connection can now be tested in real-world operation within the context of Section 14a. The project expects this to yield new insights into the necessity of control interventions and to provide valuable information for grid monitoring.
