VK Energie GmbH

VK Energie specializes in optimizing energy systems. As a service provider for municipal utilities, energy suppliers, and plant operators, VK Energie uses artificial intelligence, forecasts, and mathematical optimization to optimize heat and power generators and storage systems (e.g., CHP, power-to-heat, large heat pumps, heat storage, battery storage). Taking technical, economic, and legal conditions into account leads to holistic optimization of the plants.

Communicate energy data securely and reliably

As a service provider for municipal utilities and plant operators, VK Energie has developed the VK Box. This is used as a higher-level control system in energy plants such as CHP units or large heat pumps. In order for the control system to fulfill its function of optimizing the operation of complex energy systems, a stable connection to the customer’s central control room is essential. At the same time, energy data and schedules must be transmitted securely and on time to grid operators and marketers. Stable data transmission plays a central role in this. It is also necessary to respond quickly in the event of malfunctions or failures – a particular challenge for VK Energie, as customers and plants are spread across Germany and on-site interventions require a high level of resources.

Networking and remote access

To overcome these challenges, VK Energie relies on a communication solution from INSYS icom that ensures a network-independent, secure, and economical connection between the customer and VK Energie. This guarantees stable data transmission on the one hand and eliminates the need for costly on-site visits thanks to remote access via VPN on the other. The solution is used in energy plants throughout Germany and enables reliable remote maintenance, data acquisition, and control. Thanks to high security standards and certifications, INSYS icom products meet the requirements of the energy industry.

Industrial data communication as the basis for efficient energy networks

The increasing complexity of energy systems requires higher-level control based on data and forecasts – a task that VK Energie performs with its optimization software. This is based on secure communication, which is ensured by products from INSYS icom. This enables reliable connection and monitoring of the systems.
