to further expand the system into an autonomous
service area with island grid capability. The Siestorage
energy storage system is one of the first joint projects.
With 8.4 megawatts, it is currently the biggest battery
storage system in the municipal network and will go into
operation shortly. Additional projects will follow, including
a power-to-gas plant and the universal data networking
of the entire system landscape on the Siemens
MindSphere IoT platform. As a utility 4.0, SWW will in the
future use the existing Siemens control system functions
in the form of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) on a cloud-
based platform. Selected data from the control system
will also be provided on MindSphere, where it can be
analysed, evaluated and used for SWW and its customers
in new business models.
