CACTUS project completed: Greater transparency for the low-voltage grid
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.
Reaching the Goal Faster: How BPL and Coms4Grid Are Driving the Rollout in Rhineland-Palatinate
The expansion of broadband powerline (BPL) in Rhineland-Palatinate is clearly gaining momentum. In collaboration with Coms4Grid, projects are currently being implemented in several network areas that demonstrate how the iMSys rollout can be carried out reliably.
The EEBUS Ship Pairing Service Explained Simply
To make getting started easier, we’ve created a concise video that clearly explains how the EEBUS Ship Pairing Service works. The focus is on how the commissioning and pairing of devices can be significantly simplified in the future—a key component for scaling the control rollout.
Heating Controls via the Smart Meter Gateway: How Two Infrastructures Come Together
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.
