Description - SICAM SGU

Compact and cost efficient device for Smart Grid applications

Smart Grid Unit to connect your GridBalancing supply and load is a challenge in a market with a growing energy demand and multiple decentralized energy resources. Even the most advanced management systems require numerous field devices to monitor and control the process level. Those devices have usually to be compact, cost-efficient and provide a secure communication interface even in remote locations. SICAM SGU 7XV5676 has such a secure and cellular communication build to connect with an energy management system. It can be used for smart grid purposes as various as demand response, DER controller for virtual power plants, renewable integration in microgrids, or small RTU.
