enercity contracting: Providing Energy Economically and Ecologically

enercity Contracting GmbH is a nationwide energy service provider in Germany, offering efficient and future-oriented contracting solutions for real estate. It supplies heat, cooling, and other energy products. To this end, enercity operates heat, cooling, and steam generation systems, heating networks, and highly efficient combined heat and power plants, preferably using regenerative energy sources such as biogas and wood.

Project Description

For monitoring and supervising its heat and cooling systems, enercity Contracting GmbH uses a WAGO cloud platform. Energy and billing data from additional devices and the respective network operator are imported into the WAGO cloud platform developed by M&M Software and made available to the RITA system for billing purposes. Data acquisition is handled via WAGO PFC controllers and corresponding IO modules for sensor connections. An IEC 61131 application runs on the WAGO controller, responsible for capturing operating parameters. It also determines which data is transmitted to the cloud. The WAGO-provided Cloud Connector runs on the controller, taking the data from the IEC 61131 application and transferring it to the Azure Cloud.

This custom WAGO cloud platform solution gives enercity Contracting a central data platform for both energy and billing data at each metering point.

 

Benefits for the End Customer

Automatic capture of consumption and generation data in the WAGO cloud platform eliminates manual entry for installed meters. The data can then be monitored and processed just like physical devices.

This solution creates a foundation for integrating additional data formats as virtual devices into the WAGO cloud platform.
