“IoT is a crucial prerequisite for smart energy grids (of the future). Communicating node points makes it possible to harmonise an increasingly decentral and volatile energy generation with storage and consumption.

For example, with charging stations communicating with the grid, electric vehicles can be fed in perfect accordance with the driver’s needs and the grid’s load factors. Smart Meters, connected by fibre or mobile network, will enable an intelligent flow of energy.”
