Energy business
By creating intelligent networks, ICT offers an enormous potential to provide for a security of energy supplies whilst energy consumption is increasing. Furthermore, ICT can secure a balance between volatile electricity generation and fluctuating energy consumption and provides the necessary information networks and intelligent systems for the analysis and processing of data. Latest ICT technologies also enable increases in efficiencies, quality improvements and an increased customer benefit.
Among the currently most important application areas of ICT in energy business, there are:
- Smart metering and smart grid
- Central and local energy and network management
- Building automation and smart homes
- Electro mobility
- Person-centred mobility solutions for installers in these areas
- Asset services (building projects, maintenance)
- Overall support services (e.g. task management, time tracking, log, ordering, etc.)
- Object-centred mobility solutions
