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) becomes indispensable for ensuring high level of services now and in the future.
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 measuring points. The future-proof smart metering solution is optimised for the challenging Swiss topology and tailored to the high demands of the diverse customers in Landis+Gyr's home market.
The mass adoption of electric vehicles and the need to accelerate EV charging infrastructure has opened various business opportunities and attracted many new entrants, from new start-ups to large enterprises. With a common drive for raising ROI and utilisation on charging infrastructure investments, it is imperative for businesses to have reliable data for informed decision-making.
In the latest episode of the 'OT Security Made Simple podcast' , Klaus Mochalski, founder and CEO of Rhebo, sits down with Todd Wiedman, Chief Security Officer of Landis+Gyr, to cover a range of topics, shedding light on the evolving challenges and solutions within the realm of AMI security.
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?
The IEC 62443 family of standards is an old acquaintance to most security managers for industrial systems. For more than ten years, it has been considered THE standard for industrial cybersecurity. It also serves as a "horizontal standard" offering a sector-agnostic baseline for industrial cybersecurity, upon which sector-specific requirements, e.g. for the energy sector, could be added by industry experts. In this blog we explore its implications for the energy sector.
