Aliunid and Landis+Gyr have successfully tested the aliunid gateway for the Landis+Gyr E450 smart meter. Combined with an aliunid gateway, the smart meter becomes “a real-time electricity tachometer”, Landis+Gyr, provider of energy management solutions. said in a media release.
Founded in 2018, Brugg-based start-up aliunid is a digital energy provider, but without physical infrastructures. It provides its services using real-time data, connectivity and a platform based on the Internet of Things, as a white-label offering for energy suppliers, grid operators and energy producers.
With renewable energy available in varying quantities depending on the time of day or season and ever-increasing electricity consumption, the power grid needs to become more flexible in order to respond more quickly to fluctuations. Aliunid calls this a “breathing supply“. And this only works with real-time data, which even smart meters alone cannot provide. “We are very pleased that, thanks to the cooperation with Landis+Gyr, we will be able to offer a tested solution for the energy world of tomorrow in the future,” Aliunid CEO Dr David Thiel is quoted as saying.
“Landis+Gyr supports solution providers for real-time applications that build on existing smart meters and contribute to the Energy Strategy 2050,” explains Dr Christian Zaugg, Head of the Switzerland Business Unit at Landis+Gyr. “This creates additional added value for electricity consumers that goes beyond the primary purpose of automated energy metering and billing.”
