Distributed Energy Systems

Energy and power systems are in a transition phase from one-way supply to a multiway system. Even private home owners are prosumers, taking power from the grid, as well as feeding into it. Siemens is a key partner to the energy industry, delivering innovative solutions to tackle the challenges of the future.
