It has already carried out an impact assessment on the introduction of smart grids. The SFOE is working hard on the future of the electricity network. Smart metering is an integral part of Energy Strategy 2050. Furthermore, they support the new grid functionalities.

These meters and free access to meter data for end-users registered under the Electricity Supply Ordinance form part of the measures adopted to increase energy efficiency and help reduce the consumption of electricity and resources.

Smart meters installed on the premises of end-users are a component of smart grids.

One of the challenges involved was to develop a technical architecture that describes the functional connections and the information and communications technology relationships between smart grid domains and participating systems and subsystems.Īspects of interoperability have been taken into account as well as issues of availability, information security, and energy efficiency. Important standardisation measures have been taken at the European level in order to push forward the development of smart grids. The idea of the smart grid is backed by legislators worldwide, and is supported by global research and pilot projects. For Siemens, this marks a significant increase in its expertise in smart grid solutions, according to the release. Initial experience and results have now been obtained from the practical application of the model in standardisation, in pilot projects and in industry. We’re represented on all important committees and are playing a key role in pushing forward the standardisation of the smart grid,” said Christian Wurhofer, head of Technology & Innovation at the Smart Grid Division, in the Siemens Infrastructure & Cities Sector. The model can be used for the visualisation, validation, and configuration of smart grid projects, and also for standardisation within smart grids. With the smart grid architecture model (SGAM), the company’s Siemens Infrastructure & Cities Sector has developed a method whereby power supply companies and industry can display aspects of smart grid systems.
