Spanning more than 100 m² and featuring more than 1,000 test stations, a modern environment is being created for development and live demonstrations related to the intelligent measurement system, CLS components, communication technologies, and the Network Management System (NMS).
The EEBUS Relais Converter connects digital control commands from the smart meter gateway to analog relay systems—an important bridge for the efficient rollout of control systems in the smart grid.
Der TAF 10 ist die Funktion des Smart Meter Gateways, die weit über die reine Abrechnung hinausgeht und das Gateway zum zentralen Baustein für Transparenz im Smart Grid macht. Er macht das Smart Meter Gateway zum standardisierten Sensor im Verteilnetz – und zwar nicht punktuell, sondern in der Breite.
2025—a year of partnerships and innovation! The rollout of smart metering systems is in full swing, and the control system rollout—driven by Section 14a of the Energy Industry Act (EnWG) and Section 9 of the Renewable Energy Act (EEG)—is gaining significant momentum. In this context, the interoperability of our solutions with those of our partners in the market is a prerequisite. 2025 is therefore all about collaborative partnerships: Around 35 partners have joined our “PPC connect: Interoperability in Action” initiative this year.
The year 2023 marks a new milestone for Power Plus Communications AG and our mission to drive the energy transition through advanced technologies. With numerous advances in our rollout, successful collaboration with partners, and new products, we once again made a significant contribution to the digitalization of the energy transition last year. We would like to thank our customers and partners for their excellent and successful collaboration and for the trust they have placed in us—we wish you all the best and continued success in 2024!

[: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.[:]
