Siemens Xcelerator
  • EGT Triberg is an electricity and gas network operator in the Black Forest; the electricity network comprises approximately 1,600 km of cable and overhead lines, 540 distribution transformer stations, 2 hydroelectric and 2 power transformer stations - supplying electricity to over 30,000 households; gas network with more than 390 km of pipelines - supplying gas to over 6,000 households. 
  • Focus on ecology and sustainability while maintaining high security of supply: energy transition and integration of renewable energies require increased visibility of the grids.
  • Drastic increase in cyberattacks globally and across all sectors. Upgrade cycles of approximately 5 years lead to high investment costs and thus to a complex budget approval process.
Grid management with Spectrum Power 7:
  • Linux-based grid control system with the option for grid expansion.
  • Increased transparency of grid operation and flexibility in grid management.

Comprehensive service contract:
  • 3-year service and patch management contract with regular updates: cyclical patching and annual updating of third-party and Siemens software.
  • Updates and measures in small steps instead of major upgrades approximately every 5 years.
  • Comprehensive corrective and preventive maintenance, as well as systematic screening, evaluation and elimination of system vulnerabilities.
"Spectrum Power 7 gives us the greatest possible flexibility in terms of system management and network expansion. Thanks to this concept, the software is always up to date, we are better protected against cyberattacks and increase investment security."
Erik Hugel, Managing Director, EGT Energie GmbH
  • Regular updates and increased cybersecurity thanks to up-to-date software. 
  • Active elimination of cyberthreats through early installation of patches.  
  • Simplified budget approval thanks to continuous investment planning (small annual instalments instead of high one-off investment) and mitigated risk factors thanks to incremental approach. 
  • Saved time and resources as no complex tendering process for regular updates compared to major upgrades approximately every 5 years. 
  • Access to continuous product development for rapid adaptation of the network control system to new challenges.
