Smart and secure use of BentoNet-Ready devices and their measurement data in the envelio IGP for real-time grid monitoring

envelio and BentoNet are joining forces to enable real-time transparency and grid-oriented control for distribution grid operators. BentoNet provides the IT infrastructure and devices for real-time measurement, while envelio’s Intelligent Grid Platform (IGP) integrates this data for congestion detection and grid control.

envelio and BentoNet

To transform existing supply infrastructure into an intelligent system, both IT services and the right measurement device infrastructure are needed. In the field, various measurement, control, and protection devices are deployed to fulfill this need. BentoNet offers a scalable IT infrastructure, including data transmission, that is compatible with field devices from multiple manufacturers. Through BentoNet, real-time data from various measurement devices can flow securely to the BentoNet cloud.

When integrated with envelio’s IGP, this data can then be incorporated into core processes of distribution grid operators.

One of these core processes is grid-oriented control, or grid-side flexibility management. Real-time data integration forms the foundation for this grid-focused control, which is currently in the spotlight. By integrating measurement data from devices into the IGP’s grid models, distribution grid operators gain transparency over the grid’s current state. This real-time insight allows the IGP to detect congestion and initiate immediate actions to relieve stress on the grid.
