Optimized networking
Energy availability at the right time and in the right place
Power generation, distribution, storage, and consumption are considered as a holistic system in sector coupling. Individual sectors exchange energy with each other so that it is available in the right form where it is needed. By collecting and evaluating data on energy consumption and generation, the energy flow is optimally controlled.
This means that sectors must be networked not only in terms of performance, but also in terms of communication. Standardized communication protocols within different networks enable the necessary communication, independent of system
boundaries. The principle of sector coupling works on a small scale, for example, within a company, as well as across companies.
Phoenix Contact provides products, solutions, and services for the electrification, networking, and automation of the energy, industry, infrastructure, and mobility sectors.
The advantages of sector coupling:
• Sustainable power supply
• Resource-efficient production
• Comprehensive optimization for climate protection
• Storage of energy generated from renewable sources
• Consistent data and information flows
Everything fits together – for a sustainable world!

Key technologies
Sustainable technologies are essential and are empowering the All Electric Society. The use of these technologies must be targeted toward sector coupling so that we can profitably connect industries that previously existed in isolation from one another.
Our power electronics have been developed for the following areas:
• DC power grids
• Energy storage systems
• Power-to-X
• Charging infrastructure
