Creating the energy transition with IoT in the distribution grid
The energy transition is taking place in the distribution grid and is presenting grid operators with new challenges. In order to master these and react flexibly, grid operation must become digital. Our holistic SMIGHT Grid2 solution provides the necessary data from the low voltage and makes the grid intelligent.
Intelligence
for the distribution grid
for the distribution grid
We are addressing the need for robust and comprehensive collection of low-voltage data with a holistic solution: SMIGHT Grid2 uses innovative sensors and IoT technology to determine the effective value of the current, the respective flow direction and the busbar voltage at local grid stations and distribution cabinets.
Using a simple process, grid operators can determine in real time and with geographical reference where the electricity grids are reaching their capacity limits. This enables targeted grid expansion, dynamic load management and ultimately a successful energy transition.

In 3 steps to digital network operation
Step1:
Network operators need to collect data from the local network in order to gain transparency about network utilization. Our patented sensor technology supports this and can be integrated into existing infrastructure.
Step 2:
The data only becomes usable when it is bundled centrally. This is done on our in-house developed IoT platform SMIGHT IQ, which we also use to monitor your devices and keep them up to date.
Step 3:
In order to derive direct measures for a demand-oriented grid expansion, you receive graphically prepared measurement data. Data can be transferred to existing systems via a standard interface.
Unbeatable advantages
Quick and easy installation
The SMIGHT Grid2 sensor was specially developed for the process requirements of operating personnel. Installation takes place during operation, is supported by an app and can be carried out by your own personnel in less than 60 minutes. There is no need for complex cabling.
Immediate data availability
The SMIGHT Grid2 Gateway measures the rail voltage in single phase. The data is transmitted securely as 15-minute values to our IoT platform SMIGHT IQ via mobile radio. You can visualize and analyse your data directly via a web portal.
Everything from a single source – secure
From sensor technology and the IoT platform to data visualization and management, you receive a full-service solution. We also keep an eye on your hardware at all times thanks to intelligent monitoring and provide it with regular updates. Stored in a German data center (ISO 27001), we provide you with password-protected access to your data. You do not need your own IT resources.

Pressure to act for network operators
The world of energy suppliers is changing. The increase in renewable energies has already massively changed the supply task. Depending on the weather and season, the feed-in fluctuates enormously. At the same time, new consumers in the form of electric vehicles and heat pumps are making the grid even more dynamic – a change for which today’s low-voltage grids are not designed.
In order to avoid overloading their grids, grid operators must now lay the foundations for demand-oriented grid expansion. For this to succeed, it is essential to create transparency and collect data from the low-voltage grid. Only when it is known where in the grid how much electricity is needed and when, can suitable measures be introduced to optimize grid operation.
