Siemens has implemented its low-voltage software to Aspern Smart City Research (“ASCR”) in Vienna. Using Siemens’ next generation grid management software, LV Insights X, ASCR will be able to visualize the entire low-voltage network of aspern Seestadt, a part of Vienna. aspern Seestadt is one of Europe's largest urban development projects. With a digital twin, ASCR can identify critical segments, increase the usable capacity of its grid, and integrate more renewable energy without additional grid expansion, supporting their decarbonization efforts.

“Generating data-driven insights is essential to overcome the growing – and sometimes unpredictable – challenges in the power grid and ensuring efficient and reliable grid operations. Implementing LV Insights® X is the next milestone in our partnership with ASCR, incorporating valuable insights gained from a fruitful collaboration. We are excited to support ASCR in becoming a trailblazer on the path to net-zero,” said Sabine Erlinghagen, CEO Siemens Grid Software.

“The use of decentralized, renewable energy resources is essential in sustainable urban areas. Increased flexibility and transparency are the key to optimizing network planning and management. With LV Insights® X we can take this to a completely new level in aspern Seestadt, Vienna,” said Matthias Gressel, general manager of ASCR.
