Control boxes are central components in smart grids whose operation depends on high interoperability and cyber security. The BSI has now certified a control box for the first time according to the Technical Guidelines (TR).

By 2032 all German households will have digital electricity meters and some will also have smart meters that send and receive data. A smart meter gateway (SMGW) transmits electricity data to grid operators, for example. Control boxes connect to SMGWs allowing efficient control of electricity data and power feed-in to avoid grid overloads.

The certified “SwiSBox” control box from Swistec GmbH meets the requirements of TR BSI-TR-03109-5 and ensures the secure transmission of control commands in the smart grid.  Other applications such as controlling heat pumps or PV systems are possible by using certified control boxes. The BSI also supports manufacturers with a new test platform for testing the suitability of their products during development.

Within the framework of the age-related succession, Samuel Enggist has been appointed as the new Chairman of the Board of Directors. He has more than 10 years of experience in the energy sector, held various management positions at Repower and worked on the start-up side (tiko) on the design of virtual power plants (VPPs) based on household and industrial loads at Swiss and European level. Samuel Enggist studied International Relations at the University of St. Gallen (HSG) and holds an Executive Master in Energy Economics from FHGR (Energy Master). He is a partner in the consulting firm Kreis2 AG.

Together with Adrian Toller and his team, Samuel will lead Swistec Systems AG into the new energy world, which is characterized by decentralization, digitalization, flexibilization and dynamization. In doing so, Swistec Systems AG can also count on the expertise of its sister company in Germany, Swistec GmbH in Bornheim near Cologne. This company develops among others an FNN control box for the German market.

The team of Swistec Systems AG would like to thank Charles Keusch for his tireless efforts as Chairman of the Board of Directors. With his prudent, empathetic and far-sighted leadership, he has had a significant impact on Swistec.
