Customized solutions for transmission system operators, as well as providers and marketers in the secondary control energy market
The energy industry is undergoing a transformation: Increasing demands for supply reliability, the integration of renewable energy sources, decentralized grid structures and rising load densities make precise, secure and flexible automation technology indispensable.
AUCOTEAM supports energy suppliers, municipal utilities and industrial companies with customized software solutions that are precisely tailored to the respective infrastructure and grid environment.
We develop systems for remote data acquisition, data preprocessing and data preparation. These systems are designed for higher-level systems, participation in the secondary control power market and the pooling of small-scale generators into virtual power plants.
Our services for the energy industry
Power system control technology
We design and develop modern software solutions for network control technology to collect process data from all assets in the utility network—including substations, transformer stations, control systems and many other third-party systems. Our engineering teams work closely with grid operators, process planners and operations staff to ensure that our solution delivers optimal functionality, system performance and connectivity for our customers and to guarantee seamless integration into the existing IT landscape.
Communication & interfaces
A key component of future-proof energy systems is reliable and secure communication between components, control levels and grid control technology. AUCOTEAM implements interface solutions based on IEC 60870-5-101, IEC 60870-5-104, IEC 60870-6-TASE.2, and ICCP, as well as other standard protocols such as OPC UA and Kafka, thereby enabling a reliable connection to higher-level grid control centers. In doing so, we take into account all relevant IT security requirements, the flexibility of our modules and non-functional software requirements, and carry out the integration into existing communication architectures.
Products and software services
In the energy sector, we develop various systems for remote data acquisition, preprocessing and processing for higher-level grid control systems, for participation in the secondary control power market and for pooling small-scale generators into virtual power plants.
AUCOTEAM: Your partner for energy projects
Whether it’s the retrofit of an existing facility, the expansion of an industrial power distribution system or a complete new design project in the utility sector—we provide sophisticated automation technology for energy projects of any scale.
