A smart meter gateway is a communication unit with an integrated security model that connects the digital electricity meter to the smart grid. Through encrypted transmission of consumption data, it serves as an interface for communication between electricity consumers/producers, the metering point operator, grid operators, and energy suppliers. As a central data hub, the smart meter gateway is a key technology for the digitalization of the energy transition. In Germany, smart meter gateways are certified by the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). This certification is crucial to meet data protection regulations and ensure that only authorized parties have access to the transmitted data.
By creating open interfaces, aedifion can centrally and securely collect measurement data from the smart meter gateway in the cloud and use it together with other information from the building for holistic optimization of technical operations. Our Optimization Bundle includes not only the provision and analysis of the data but also automated recommendations and predictive control of all consumption-relevant systems in the building using artificial intelligence.
