EEBUS Initiative e.V.

New active EEBUS Initiative e.V. member: In June of this year, Swistec GmbH joined the EEBus Initiative e.V. Shortly afterwards, the company from Bornheim took part in our hackathon in Cologne, where it successfully tested its own EEBUS software stack at the communication protocol level. This stack is used in the company's FNN control box to enable manufacturer-independent communication between distribution system operators and controllable consumer devices. The EEBus Initiative e.V. hackathon was another milestone for Swistec, as it was able to demonstrate the interoperability of the software stack with various end devices from other manufacturers. The integration of the EEBUS standard supports compliance with the EnWG §14a and promotes efficient load control, which is an important step in intelligent connectivity and grid-side control.

Germany's largest e-mobility research project to hold public closing event! Save the date: 11 July 2024, Berlin, unIT-e² Talks - free registration now open!   At the "unIT-e² Talks: Electric Mobility - Grids - Climate Neutrality", the project partners will present the highlights of the Germany-wide field tests, which focus on the user-friendly and large-scale implementation of intelligent charging concepts. EEBus has actively been involved in 3 of the 4 clusters over the last 3 years, working on an overall system architecture, developing new use cases based on project input, standardising project results in relevant standardisation committees and finally hosting a plugfest at our Living Lab Cologne. #eMobility #EMS #standardisation #ResearchAndDevelopment #SMGW #EEBUS #LivingLabCologne

On 24 and 25 June, we opened our doors to about 20 software experts from different companies and open source projects to test their self-developed EEBUS software stacks. The aim of our hackathon was to test the interoperability of the eight software implementations, all based on our EEBUS specifications, to identify and fix bugs, to improve functionality and to get feedback on the quality of our specifications. We are very pleased with the results and look forward to the next test event in September at our EEBUSummit & Plugfest 2024. We would like to thank Schneider Electric, KEO GmbH, enjoyelec Tech Ltd., EcoFlow, NIBE, Swistec GmbH, Fraunhofer-Institut für Solare Energiesysteme ISE and Andreas Linde for their great commitment and participation in the event! #EEBUS #hackathon #interoperability #OpenSource #SoftwareStack #EEBUSummit24

Thanks to gridX for the concise explanation of the benefits of implementing §14a with a digital interface. #EEBUS #DigitalInterface #GridConnection #Standardisation #14a

The smarter E 2024 has been a hub of innovation and collaboration. It's been a joy to engage in conversations about how to drive the energy transition through digitalisation and standardisation. Seeing so many EEBUS members and partners in one place, from sectors as diverse as automotive, solar, heat pumps, battery storage, energy management and grid operations, is a great demonstration of our collective commitment. A special welcome to sonnen GmbH, our newest member! Their expertise in innovative energy solutions and technologies is a valuable addition to our initiative. We are pleased to have you on board and look forward to our cooperation! #EnergyTransition #Digitalisation #Sustainability #Innovation #EEBUS

Next week will be an eventful one for the #EEBUS team as we hit the road again to share our insights and solutions for the energy transition. On the 18th of June, Marius Boldt will be presenting our §14a demo at BET Büro für Energiewirtschaft und technische Planung in Aachen, showcasing the realisation of a power limitation in accordance with current regulatory requirements. Then, from 19 to 21 June, Dr. Robert Böhm, Christina Hollmann and Annike Abromeit will be representing us at The smarter E Europe in Munich. We would be very pleased to meet you, so please don't hesitate to contact us to arrange a personal meeting. We're looking forward to a fruitful exchange and continuing to drive the digitalisation of the energy transition. #EEBUS #EnergyManagement #Digitalisation #SmartEnergy #EnergyTransition #Networking

Looking back on a successful webinar: We're pleased to have reached more than 350 industry professionals and partners! Our §14a demonstrator, presented in collaboration with PSI GridConnect GmbH, MeterPan GmbH, BET Büro für Energiewirtschaft und technische Planung, IVU Informationssysteme GmbH and Stadtwerke Norderstedt showcased the transmission of a power limitation signal in accordance with §14a EnWg - along the entire communication chain. The live broadcast from MeterPan's studio was a huge success, sparking an engaging Q&A session with hundreds of insightful questions. This enthusiasm fuels our commitment to moving the energy sector forward. We're excited about the road ahead and eager to share our knowledge with more utilities, device manufacturers, installers and energy solution providers. Next stop: The smarter E Europe 2024 in Munich (without our demonstrator though). #14a #PowerLimitation #GridConnection #SmartGrid #Digitalisation #utilities

EE Bus on tour: Due to the popularity of our §14a demonstrator, we have been regularly travelling to relevant industry events since the beginning of the year to present our §14a live demo. Occasionally, our EE Bus is on the road twice a week. Like this week: We are currently in Gotha together with BET Büro für Energiewirtschaft und technische Planung, presenting to more than 20 public utilities. Afterwards we travel to Hamburg, where we will hold a webinar on Friday (7 June) together with PSI GridConnect GmbH, IVU Informationssysteme GmbH, MeterPan GmbH, BET and Stadtwerke Norderstedt to present the implementation of §14a in the low-voltage grid from different perspectives and aspects. Register here: https://lnkd.in/eDHpMgp9 #14a #LowVoltageGrid #LiveDemo #aEMT #DigitalGridConnectionPoint #SteuVE #EEBus

Don't miss this opportunity to get a comprehensive overview of the implementation of §14a in practice! In this webinar, we will explain and demonstrate (live) how the performance limit is transferred along the entire communication chain and provide insights into the requirements from a technical, legal and operational perspective. Sign up now!

So far, developers of 5 EEBUS stacks are represented: 2x open source (Java; GO) and 3x commercial vendors (all three in C++). We look forward to further implementations and the experience the developers will contribute! #SoftwareDevelopment #EEBUS #OpenSource #SoftwareStack #connectivity #hackathon
