Looking ahead, “with implementation of our EnergyIP smart grid application platform, E.ON Metering is prepared for future rollout scenarios as a metering point operator and, when it comes, to smart meter gateway administration,” said Ute Redecker, head of the Siemens Digital Grid business unit in Germany. The integration will allow the analytics application to utilize various big data options for administering smart meter gateways and meter data processing for external market participants on the German market.

Siemens hopes the development will yield a rich treasure of finely granulated data for functionalities including energy theft and overloaded distribution equipment detections through grid load analysis, grid incident analysis, and end-customer consumption load analysis. In other words, Siemens will have a clear insight not only into E.ON’s grid, but a much better platform on which to build going forward, as other grid operators tackle the demands of a renewable energy backbone. The inclusion of the big data option will also allow for the creation of load forecasts for different levels in the distribution grid as well as an analysis of distributed energy resources.

EU Steps Up Funding for New Energy Infrastructure

In February, the EC announced that it would fund almost half a billion euros in selected power, smart grid, and gas energy infrastructure projects through the Connecting Europe Facility, the EU’s funding scheme for infrastructure. An ongoing project—valued at a total €5.35 billion—has been allocated to trans-European energy infrastructure between 2014 and 2020. This year, more than a third of the selected projects are in the energy sector, winning support of €176 million.

Another EC–funded project is a €40.25 million investment in Tennet’s “SuedLink” smart grid system. The project is planned to connect wind power generated in breezy northern Germany with consumer and industrial centers in the nation’s economically booming south. To do this and get buy-in from conservatives in Bavaria annoyed by the “unsightliness” of so many new wind towers, the project will require over 700 kilometers of new, buried underground, high-voltage cables—the first system of its kind on such a large scale.
