Investing in a better world

This case study examines a specific IoT solution provided by Siemens for electrification and automation. Siemens AG is a focused technology company that combines the real and the digital worlds and helps customers to meet the great challenges of our time.

This initiative focuses on the challenges posed by large-scale decarbonization projects and their effects on the power grid, primarily due to the proliferation of Decentralized Energy Systems (DES). Although these systems are crucial for meeting decarbonization objectives, they introduce issues related to grid stability and capacity, especially during peak demand and production periods. The study emphasizes the importance of strategic investment and planning. The goal is to align the deployment of DES with the current capabilities of the electrical grid, aiming to enhance both financial and operational efficiencies.

The initiative is already a commercially available product and is deployed, deploying, or in negotiation with DSOs in Northern Europe, Australia and USA. It leverages digitisation and its aim is to automate one of the most pressing use-cases faced by DSOs: congestion management.
