Planning ahead instead of making corrections: adjustments according to the target curve
A new white paper shows how the existing infrastructure of the intelligent metering system (iMSys) can be developed from a primarily curative to a preventive, market-oriented control system. The focus is on the envelope curve concept according to EEBUS Use Case POEN.
That was E-world 2026
E-World is and remains one of the most important exchange platforms for our industry – and this year was no exception. With around 33,000 visitors and over 920 exhibitors, there were plenty of opportunities to initiate new joint projects. This year's highlight? The launch of our EEBUS Relais Converter in collaboration with Weidmüller.
Energy Metering relies on EEBUS relay converters from Weidmüller and PPC to accelerate the control rollout
The EEBUS Relay Converter (ERC) enables digital control even where only relay switching inputs are available – and is therefore ready to accelerate the control rollout with immediate effect. The product was developed jointly by PPC and Weidmüller. Energy Metering, a subsidiary of Octopus Energy, a competitive metering point operator, was also involved from the outset. The solution will simplify the implementation of Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG) and Section 9 of the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). Delivery will start in mid-2026.
Digital control meets relays: Weidmüller and PPC launch new solution for control rollout with EEBUS relay converter
At E-world, Weidmüller and PPC are demonstrating the EEBUS Relay Converter (ERC), a solution for control in accordance with Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG) and Section 9 of the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) at the interface between EEBUS digital and relay analogue. The jointly developed product translates digital EEBUS control signals into analogue relay switching commands. This means that even non-digital systems can be controlled by an SMGWplus in accordance with the requirements of Section 14a EnWG and Section 9 EEG.

SMA and PPC are making hundreds of thousands of households ready for the smart grid – with just a software update
This is what practical interoperability looks like: The inverter expert SMA from Niestetal and the Mannheim-based smart meter gateway manufacturer PPC have jointly developed a groundbreaking solution that makes not only new photovoltaic systems but also existing systems throughout Germany controllable via a firmware update – and thus fit for the smart grid of the future.
Nuremberg relies on BPL for its Smart Meter rollout
The Nuremberg-based energy company N-ERGIE has come to a positive conclusion after months of the first joint pilot project with PPC and its service subsidiary, Coms4Grid. Thanks to PPCs Broadband Powerline (BPL) communication technology, the roll-out of smart meters in Nuremberg and Hüttenheim is taking place in both urban and rural areas.
GE Vernova and PPC demonstrate successful interoperability for broadband communications in power grids
Cambridge / Mannheim, den 11. März 2025 – GE Vernova und die Power Plus Communications AG (PPC) haben die Interoperabilität ihrer Breitband-Powerline-Technologien (BPL) erfolgreich getestet. Im Fokus der Zusammenarbeit stand die Verbindung des MDS™ Orbit PowerNet von GE Vernova mit dem Smart Meter Gateway von PPC, das die Nessum-Technologie einsetzt.
