EEBus
EEBus (VDE-AR-E 2829-6 series) is a communication protocol for connecting energy-related devices such as heat pumps, wallboxes, batteries, inverters, control boxes and energy management systems.
With jEEBus.SHIP and jEEBus.SPINE we provide a Java implementation for the communication and data layer of EEBus.
We are a member of the EEBus Initative e.V. and the FNN Project Group Control Box Test Cases in order to participate in the further development of the standard. We successfully tested our stack with other manufacturers at the annual Plugfest at the EEBUSummit.
The EEBus protocol fits very well with our current research activities as we are setting up a Smart Meter Gateway (SMGW) test bed in our new
Digital Grid Lab to test control boxes (FFN Steuerbox) and SMGW use cases. New generations of control boxes and devices will support the EEBus protocol and can be seamlessly integrated into our laboratory infrastructure to communicate with our power-hardware-in-the-loop system for complex test setups
