- Siemens’ next generation grid management software, Gridscale X™ DER Insights, supports goal to achieve net-zero emissions in the US by 2050
- The software provides better visibility of behind the meter distributed energy resources (DERs) and their impact on the grid
- These insights are critical for better grid planning and asset health, and
ensuring the success of customer programs
- Gridscale X DER Insights is part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio
Siemens has announced its latest Gridscale X software offering enabling distribution utilities
to gain better visibility and insights of distributed energy resources (DERs) behind the meter
to increase grid capacity. With the rising number of DERs, this causes operational
challenges for distribution networks not originally designed to operate with these resources.
Gaining insights into where they are and how DERs are operating is a critical first step in
addressing the problems and subsequently taking advantage of these resources for grid
optimization.

Siemens Smart Infrastructure has supplied and installed 200 VersiCharge wallboxes and an intelligent charging management
system to the Infinity building, one of the tallest residential sites in
Lisbon, Portugal.
- Siemens commissioned a study of 100 decision makers from the US and Canadian utility industry to understand how they are adapting to the surge in distributed energy resources (DERs)
- Findings indicate that limited visibility and understanding of DER behavior creates operational challenges and impacts grid performance
- Solutions such as distributed energy resource management systems (DERMS) exist, but data shows adoption to be slow
Siemens has released key insights into
how electric utilities in the United States and Canada are managing the rapid
adoption of behind the meter distributed energy resources (DERs) in its new
report “Seeing behind the meter: How electric utilities are adapting to the
surge in distributed energy resources.”
- Siemens Mobility founds subsidiary Smart Train
Lease GmbH
- Innovative rental model for Mireo Smart trains offers
fast and flexible adjustment of fleet capacity
- State-of-the-art battery, hydrogen, and
electric multiple-unit trains including maintenance
Siemens Mobility has
founded the subsidiary Smart Train Lease GmbH to enable customers to flexibly
supplement their fleets with rented state-of-the-art battery, hydrogen, and
electric multiple-unit trains. The Mireo Smart trains from Siemens Mobility are
