Applications
Highly secure communications gateway for smart metering systems and grid management
Together with the system-ready SGM-D4 basic meter, the SGH-S secure communications gateway forms the smart metering system iMSys. In the future, customers with load management, heating control and renewable energy supply can use a control unit as an additional component that must be connected to the control center via the gateway provided by the CLS interface.
As components of the Secure IP product line, the SGH-S gateway and associated GCU-S control unit can be integrated into the basic meter. Together they form the basis for customer management, efficient energy utilization and automation in modern distribution grids (smart grids).
Additional application areas include building automation and resource management in commercial and industrial enterprises, where the SGH-S can be used as a secure communications node.
Functions
The functionality of the device can be flexibly configured by highly secure firmware upgrades and partitioning of the firmware into a fixed portion and a runtime-modifiable portion.
The following functions are available as standard:
- Role-based authorization and client capability
- Real-time clock, time synchronization via NTP server, time stamping
- Self-monitoring and test (system and operation logs)
- Various tariffing and billing modes legally approved in accordance with PTB-A50.8, including time-variable tariffs and meter readings for external tariffing
- Billing data for multiple business areas
- Acquisition, processing and provision of grid-related parameters, threshold-dependent measurement data and events
- Provision of historical data for end users via web server
- Manipulation detection and protection
- Configuration over IP interface
- Plug-in installation and automatic commissioning
