Siemens is enhancing the efficiency and safety of Aral pulse's charging infrastructure through its Electrification X platform. This cloud-based solution, specifically the Electrification X Dynamic Load Management, offers transparency into the status and utilization of electric vehicle charging networks, enabling efficient and optimized charging processes. The dynamic load management feature allows for remote control of digital charging stations, helping to avoid potential capacity limitations imposed by distribution system operators that could lead to costly violations.
Stephan May, CEO of Electrification and Automation at Siemens Smart Infrastructure, emphasized the project's significance: "This project is a strong example of how we can connect the real and the digital worlds. The substations are the physical heart of the energy supply for Aral’s charging infrastructure, but without the connection to the digital world, each system would remain siloed. This central connection enables us to provide an efficient and secure charging infrastructure and, alongside Aral pulse, pave the way for sustainable and electrified mobility."
In addition to these advancements, Siemens is installing 350 more digital substations at Aral's service stations across Germany. Electrification X is built on cloud services and aims to manage, optimize, and automate complex electrification infrastructures for commercial, industrial, and utility customers. As part of Siemens Xcelerator—a platform designed to accelerate digital transformation—Electrification X adheres to principles such as interoperability, flexibility, openness, availability as a service, and high-level cybersecurity.
