Grid-Supporting Load
Management in accordance with Section 14a of the German
Energy Industry Act (EnWG)
Management in accordance with Section 14a of the German
Energy Industry Act (EnWG)
With the rapid increase in controllable loads such as charging points, heat pumps, and storage systems, the load on the low-voltage grid is rising significantly. Bottlenecks are becoming more frequent—and grid operators must be able to control these loads in a targeted and compliant manner in accordance with Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG).
This does not require a complicated calculation approach, but rather a pragmatic solution that creates transparency and enables automation.
The SMIGHT solution
The SMIGHT IQ Cockpit offers precisely this pragmatism: instead of calculations, it relies on clear real-time data, displayed via a traffic light system and warning messages. Network operators can immediately see where action is needed.
The SMIGHT IQ Copilot then automatically takes control in accordance with Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG):
Guard mode:
From 80% capacity utilization, close monitoring with measurements taken every minute.
Automatic intervention:
Dimming of controllable consumption units (SteuVE), non-discriminatory.
Compliant with regulations:
Implementation in accordance with Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG), including documentation in accordance with BNetzA and VDE-FNN specifications.
Seamless integration:
Control commands integrated into existing systems, e.g., via BDEW Web API.
