The German Technical Standards Authority (BSI) wants to accelerate interoperability in IoT PPC has been chosen for a fast track development program, thanks to its leadership in data communications.
The current rollout of smart metering systems is not only creating a basis for the remote reading of measured values, but also a future-proof infrastructure for a more flexible, digitalised energy world. In submetering in particular, models from many different manufacturers need to be read and billed. PPC has developed the "CLS Adapter Submetering", now in its second generation, for this purpose.
From November 2023 PPC's vehicle fleet includes only fully electric and hybrid vehicles.
2022 was a particularly active and exciting year for the smart metering industry. PPC will meet the numerous challenges and developments in the coming year with the second generation of its Smart Meter Gateway, to further strengthen our portfolio of technology and applications. Why SMGW 2.0? "Newer, higher, further" could of course be the watchwords, as in many product development cycles, but for the development of our second generation Smart Meter Gateways, other factors are the key drivers.
After a long successful cooperation in many projects, PPC is now also formally a member of EEBus e.V. The symbiosis between PPC's product portfolio and EEBUS as a protocol for applications upstream and downstream of the grid connection is thus further strengthened.
PPC CEO Ingo Schönberg welcomes the end of the stalemate on smart metering regulations as decided by the BNetzA. "Finally!! I am very confident that the BNetzA will now tackle solutions with the industry in a timely manner and set the course for metering via the iMSys from 2023," he said.
E.ON has ordered 16,000 smart meter gateways from the manufacturer PPC, thus paving the way for the installation of smart metering systems as required by law, which will start this year.
