Siemens’ software will help AcegasApsAmga to accelerate the decarbonization of the city of Trieste.
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has started a project with Italian DSO AcegasApsAmga using its Gridscale X technology to improve monitoring of the power grid in the Municipality of Trieste, Italy. The project supports the city’s electrification plans, which aim to reduce pollution from the Port of Trieste.
By developing a digital twin of Trieste’s power grid, AcegasApsAmga aims to proactively manage congestion challenges arising from growing integration of distributed energy resources (DERs), and the substantial energy demands of port operations. Siemens’ Gridscale X software will support the DSO in ensuring a stable and efficient power supply for docked ships. The port currently handles over 70 million tons of cargo annually, making it a critical hub with significant energy needs.
Siemens and AcegasApsAmga collaboration
Siemens and AcegasApsAmga have a long-standing relationship spanning more than 100 years, with the Italian DSO leveraging Siemens’ SCADA system and evolving ADMS functionalities to optimize grid operations. Now, with Gridscale X, the collaboration is taking a major step forward to support the decarbonization of the municipality of Trieste. By simulating grid conditions, the software can proactively identify congestion points and calculate the energy required to address them, ensuring a stable and reliable grid while accelerating the Trieste Municipality’s electrification and decarbonization programs.
