Siemens builds grid software suite to support net zero

Siemens Smart Infrastructure announced an open, modular suite of grid software to address the increasingly critical energy transition.



The suite is designed both for established energy providers and new stakeholders.

Siemens has already made steps to improve its offering for smart meter data management, such as a cloud native option or improved task efficiency by up to 85%, the manufacturer said in a press release.

Siemens' software also enables customers to run grid protection simulations faster than the current speed of execution, supporting utilities to better plan, operate and maintain power networks.

All upcoming modules of the software suite from Siemens are to be developed following specific design principles to enable agility. At the same time, they should keep the power grid cyber resilient while also creating a digital twin of the grid throughout planning, simulation, real-time operations and maintenance of power grids.
