Smart urban communities – great places to live, work, and learn

With state-of-the-art market and technology expertise and powerful simulation tools, our consultants support you in optimizing your power system and your buildings based on your specific technical and economic targets. Our services comprise strategic advice and grid design as well as control and automation concepts for both power and building infrastructures.

In the wake of the ongoing decentralization of the energy system, more and more campuses are using local energy solutions to produce the electricity they need. But there’s even more in it: With the help of distributed energy systems, campuses can gain more independence from energy suppliers and establish a highly sustainable, cost-efficient, and remarkably more resilient power supply. It’s even possible for campuses to actively participate in the energy market, because any generated surplus can be fed into the power grid and sold to the market – an attractive opportunity to create additional revenue.

Microgrids contain all the elements of complex energy systems, they maintain the balance between generation and consumption, and they can operate on- and/or off-grid. More and more campus operators are using microgrids to produce the electricity they need cost-effectively, sustainably, and reliably.

Energy storage solutions for industry, infrastructure, and private residences: fast, flexible, and reliable.

Considering the important role of eMobility in urban spaces like campuses, the infrastructure for electric mobility has to satisfy the requirements of the grid and also meet the needs of all the people operating on a modern campus.

An effective, reliable, and safe power supply is the operational backbone of a campus. A smart electrification system covers everything from medium-voltage switchgear all the way to low-voltage switchboards and busbar trunking systems and uses smart software tools and applications.

We spend up to 90 percent of our lives in buildings, and we believe that everything people do in life deserves a perfect place to do it. Smart buildings are an active contributor to the experience and success of its stakeholders.

Security is one of the most important enablers for the way we live and do business in a globalized world. Digitalization impacts all industries and is a powerful catalyst and enabler of change. The global security landscape and its demands are changing, and protection using advanced security management and services means safeguarding the foundation of sustained competitiveness and business continuity for all our customers.

Every system and component in the buildings on a smart campus creates numerousc data that can be collected, analyzed, and used to gain actionable insights. Building Twin, the application of digital twins of buildings to provide relevant data across the building lifecycle, and BIM, a collaborative process that’s at the heart of the digitalization of the construction industry, help create safe, efficient buildings that continuously interact, learn, and adapt to new requirements.

Smart urban communities are autonomous living, business, and learning hubs that generate huge amounts of data. The holistic representation of these data provides fast and easy access to information and makes communities smarter, more resilient, sustainable, and future proof. This digital transformation is enabled by a sound digitalization strategy, IoT devices, system integration, cloud computing, and analytical models.

Campuses face the inherent challenge of housing, catering, and employing thousands of people at a time. Many are looking to smart technologies to help them operate more efficiently, reduce costs, and better serve their inhabitants. Smart and flexible financing solutions are a key enabler for staying ahead of the curve.
