Automation in power stations Automation in power stations optimizes operational processes and increases efficiency. Processes are continuously monitored and controlled by using control systems and sensors. Automated systems enable precise closed-loop control of energy flows and quick response to malfunctions, which improves the reliability and safety of the systems.

Phoenix Contact provides tailor-made automation solutions for power stations that are aimed at particularly high performance. The advanced control systems enable precise closed-loop control of the energy flows. Sensors and I/O modules continuously acquire operating data and respond quickly to malfunctions. These automation technologies optimize the processes and improve the overall performance of the power stations.

The energy transition is presenting new challenges for the Huntorf compressed air energy storage and gas turbine power station. With the open PLCnext Technology ecosystem, even older control technology was integrated and made fit for the future. In addition, data security is ensured by modern security standards.
