Make the energy transition possible – with solutions from WAGO!
Energy is increasingly generated in a regenerative and decentralized way – and it fluctuates. In order to prevent blackouts and ensure security of supply, the individual participants in the energy system must be intelligently connected with one another. This is where WAGO's solutions come in.
Our Solutions for Current Challenges
E-Mobility – WAGO Solutions for Load Management
Electric vehicle (EV) charging is becoming more and more important as part of the energy and mobility transition. Intelligent charging point distribution and load management is the key challenge of expanding e-mobility for grid operators, facility managers and industrial companies.
In the area of charging infrastructure for e-mobility, WAGO offers customized solutions for connection and energy flow control.
Paving the way for a greener future - Solutions for Green Hydrogen
Green hydrogen will play a key role in achieving the goal of decarbonization and will replace fossil fuels in the long term.
In the era of Energy transition, WAGO empowers the energy industry with a broad spectrum of solutions to enable efficient operation in all stages of energy production, storage and distribution. Learn more about our solutions for hydrogen and Power-to-X.
The WAGO Grid Gateway Application
The controller application now offers operators of power distribution grids an economical solution to help advance the digitization of new and existing substations. It allows better network status assessments and efficient grid expansion – with the highest level of cybersecurity.
Telecontrol Technology Connection for Customer Transfer Stations
Easy connection of decentralized generation systems, storage systems and end customers – to help connect customer systems to the e.on, Westnetz, EnBW and EWE medium-voltage grids via telecontrol technology, WAGO provides communication libraries for download at no cost – according to the specific technical connection rules. Or perhaps a complete control cabinet – including software parameterization?
Power Plant Controllers with WAGO Power Plant Control
Power plant controllers help power plants achieve grid-compatible feed-in management at the grid connection point (GCP).
WAGO Power Plant Control allows plant operators and system integrators to meet the requirements for these controllers that are set on the grid side – flexibly and reliably. The solution is certified per VDE-AR-N 4110 and 4120.
RTU for Telecontrol Technology
For Standards and Extremes
Robust and highly tolerant: Whether temperature fluctuations, vibrations, shocks or electromagnetic interference – retrofit telecontrol technology according to your needs and requirements. The WAGO 750 Series PLC – ready for standard applications or extreme uses.

In it, you’ll find a compact collection of topics, application reports and customer testimonials, as well as information on our solutions, services and products for the energy industry of tomorrow. The current issue covers topics including power plant controllers, “Redispatch 2.0,” telecontrol connection of customer transfer stations, digitization of distribution substations, e-mobility in public transport and demand-driven night identification of wind turbines.
Digitization of the Energy Market
Energy suppliers need to change the way they think. Instead of merely selling green energy, they also need to organize and market the flexibility that is required for maintaining stability on the electrical grid. This means that the energy system needs to be controllable, from production to consumption, using intelligent communication networks. WAGO supports the digitization of the energy sector and design of smart grids with state-of-the-art control and measurement technology, along with software solutions that allow a simple, secure connection to the cloud.
Renewable Energy Generation
As the proportion of renewable energy sources increases, decentralized suppliers and substations require consistent monitoring, and the data needs to be archived, analyzed and transmitted securely. WAGO’s automation systems provide the solution: They are compact, support many interfaces and fieldbus protocols and offer a high level of availability – even in bitter cold or high heat. Thanks to the intrinsically safe Ex i modules for the modular WAGO I/O System, usage in hazardous areas, like biogas plants, is no problem.
Integrating Decentralized Suppliers
In virtual power plants, decentralized generators like wind turbines, storage systems and controllable loads form a flexible, adjustable combination. Intelligently synchronizing them takes the pressure off the power grid. WAGO’s telecontrollers make it easier to combine them: They meet the requirements of the VHPready 4.0 communication standard, ensuring trouble-free connection of systems to the virtual power plant. VHPready functions like a translator to help control centers and systems understand one another.
Power Grids
The grids, including their automation and telecontrol technology, are due for modernization. WAGO’s controllers provide important grid data, allowing grid operators to intervene with automated control as needed. For gas and heat supply too, WAGO’s technology allows control and access to all the data within systems connected to the grids from any connected location. Through the special security concept of the PFC200 Controller, WAGO follows all relevant cybersecurity guidelines.
Energy Storage Systems
Storage systems compensate for fluctuating green electricity generation, taking the pressure off the power grid. WAGO’s telecontrol technology is at the heart of storage systems. It records all measured values, such as the feed-in data of solar plants or wind turbines, and enables monitoring and customer-specific control of the storage. For example, if the mains frequency increases due to high feed-in from renewables, the battery, power-to-heat or power-to-gas plant receives the order to draw excess current from the grid.
