E.ON partners with PSI for grid control system upgrade

BERLIN - E.ON, the energy company, has entered into a partnership with PSI Software (ETR:SOWGn) SE to implement a new, standardized network control system across its grid companies in Germany. The initiative aims to enhance the efficiency and reliability of grid operations by 2029, utilizing PSI’s "Control System of the Future" (CSF) platform.

The collaboration is set to address the increasing complexity of energy management as Germany’s distribution grids handle over 95% of the country’s renewable energy, including wind and photovoltaic sources. With the ongoing transition to electric vehicles and heat pumps, grid integration becomes more challenging, necessitating advancements in grid and system management.

Harald Heß, Senior Vice President Energy Networks Technology & Innovation at E.ON, emphasized the significance of the new system as a cornerstone for digitizing the grids and a step towards the standardization necessary for the energy transition. He outlined that the modular system would be scalable to meet future demands.

PSI’s CEO, Robert Klaffus, expressed pride in the partnership, stating that it reaffirms PSI’s strategy to technologically redefine grid management and support customers in a dynamic market. The "Control System of the Future" is part of PSI’s "PSI reloaded" strategy program, highlighting the company’s commitment to innovation and competitiveness.

The first pilot unit with the new system is scheduled for early 2028. PSI Software SE, an independent software producer, has been a leader in process control systems since 1969, integrating AI with optimization methods for utilities and industry.

This partnership is based on a press release statement and reflects a significant move towards modernizing grid management in Germany, contributing to a more reliable, economical, and sustainable energy infrastructure.
