Safe Pressure Regulation
People tend to think that at this point, the energy transition is limited to just the electrical sector. But DREWAG NETZ GmbH is going a step further and modernizing its gas distribution stations to bring intelligence to its gas division. For this process, the company relies on automation solutions from WAGO.
When smart grids are discussed, the focus is usually on the electrical sector, as is the case for the entire public discourse about the energy transition in general. In contrast, the gas and district heating sectors live in the shadows, at least as far as public perception is concerned. Yet adding intelligence is no less lucrative here. Recently, energy suppliers like DREWAG NETZ from Saxony have employed smart technology at the regional level in gas distribution systems. The I/O technology from WAGO’s 750 Series is used in an increasing number of gas pressure regulating stations in Dresden.
