Siemens Energy shapes the Internet of Energy with digital products

• Siemens Energy extends its digital power transmission portfolio for a successful energy transition
• Grid operators will be able to make the right decisions faster to operate the grid more efficiently
• Highest cybersecurity standards due to on-site data processing and storage directly in the substation

The energy transition is challenging the power grids: Wind and sun feed in renewable energy in a highly fluctuating manner, and the complexity and connectivity of our energy infrastructure continues to grow. At the same time, the importance of cybersecurity is increasing, because more and more components are digitally networked and thus potentially vulnerable. This poses major challenges for grid operators. For the energy transition, the digitization of transmission infrastructure is playing a decisive role. Siemens Energy is extending its switchgear and transformer portfolio to include new digital products such as the world's first high-voltage system with integrated edge computing technology. With these innovative products, grid operators will be able to react faster to changes in the system, make the right decisions, and increase the transparency, productivity, and reliability of their plants. The seamless integration of the systems into the existing customer network is local, secure and simple. This also ensures a highly cyber-secure system.
