The energy industry is facing new challenges: Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG) requires network operators to find innovative ways to smooth out peak loads and use network capacities more efficiently. The good news? Just one measurement per minute and the exclusive reporting of subsidies are sufficient to meet the requirements. Modern transmission technologies such as LoRaWAN®, LTE, CAT-M+ or the 450 MHz band guarantee reliable communication of measurement and control data.
But what else is possible? With minimal additional effort, network operators can unlock additional benefits that not only improve the cost-effectiveness of implementing Section 14a, but also offer new opportunities for network optimisation.
