The electric vehicle (EV) sector is rapidly transforming, and the need for flexible, reliable charging infrastructure is growing faster than ever, fuelled by demand from local legislation and a growing number of EV drivers. Beyond infrastructure cost, equipment quality, and smart charging features, it's crucial to manage all charging assets from one place while ensuring future compatibility with other systems. As we embrace the electric transition, the role of open protocols, like Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP), Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI), Open Smart Charging Protocol (OSCP) become ..read more

The network topology of Jungfraubahnen is situated in a beautiful mountain landscape in the Bernese Oberland. This mountainous and partly sparsely populated region poses challenges in terms of the accessibility of smart meters, as the combination of cables and overhead lines together with remote measuring points makes classic powerline communication difficult or even impossible due to attenuation at cable/overhead line transitions.
As an integral part of the Energy Strategy 2050, Jungfraubahnen relies on intelligent electricity meters from Landis+Gyr, improving the accessibility of remote me ..read more

Communication is a core component of any smart-grid or AMI implementation. Depending on application use cases, geography, rural/urban areas, or existing infrastructure, however, a grid operator may choose PLC, mesh, or cellular communications. With an increasingly diverse and active consumer base that now includes prosumers, electric vehicle charging, renewables, and more, how can utilities ensure that all these segments are served without disrupting their AMI?  ..read more

ThThe IEC 62443 family of standards is an old acquaintance to most security managers for industrial systems. For more than ten years, it has literally been considered THE standard for industrial cybersecurity. The standard is considered a so-called "horizontal standard". It thus forms a sector-agnostic baseline for industrial cybersecurity, on which sector-specific requirements, e.g. for the energy sector, are (or can be) added by industry experts.
[Note: The IEC 62443 standard refers to IACS (Industrial Automation and Control Systems) for industrial IT or network control technology. For the ..read more
