PPC Kundentreffen 2026: Award for successful SMGWplus EEBUS SHIP pairing interoperability tests
The energy management systems from Solar Manager and TQ-Systems have been successfully validated for interoperability with the SMGWplus from PPC. Both partners support the new and secure EEBUS SHIP Pairing and have demonstrated successful interoperability through extensive testing. In recognition of this successful implementation, Solar Manager and TQ-Systems were presented with the PPC connect Award at the PPC Kundentreffen 2026.
EEBUS Relais Converter: Bridging the gap between digital control and analog systems
TAF 10 is the function of the smart meter gateway that goes far beyond mere billing and makes the gateway the central component for transparency in the smart grid. It turns the smart meter gateway into a standardized sensor in the distribution network—not just in specific areas, but across the board.
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.
The TAF 10: How the smart meter gateway becomes the most important sensor in the power grid

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.
