The system platform with its distributed event streaming integration platform links all data and systems, focuses on data modelling and acts as a central data hub for digitalization and the digital twin. In this way, it supports energy suppliers and grid operators with the challenges of decentralizing and digitizing the energy supply - efficiently modelling and managing ever more extensive data streams.
The digitalization of networks is a key enabler of the energy transition. Following extensive practical testing, innovative event streaming technologies have been tailored to meet the specific requirements of network operators.
Its most significant advantage is its ability to handle extensive processes with high levels of security, performance, and flexibility. Measurement values and information from sensors and controllable systems from a wide range of sources are aggregated, pre-processed, and optimized for use in a centralized location.
Benefits at a Glance
