Energy Technology

Automation technology for a safe and efficient energy supply

Whether it is energy distribution, energy generation or energy optimisation – modern automation technology ensures transparency, security of supply, cyber security and the efficient use of existing resources.

The GESA Automation GmbH develops bespoke automation solutions for the energy sector – from planning, through hardware and software engineering, to control cabinet construction, commissioning and servicing.

Reliable energy distribution

One of the main areas of our work is the design and manufacture of Low-voltage distribution systems and switchgear. We build systems up to 1,000 V and 5,500 A in accordance with IEC 61439-1/-2 and thereby lay the foundations for safe and reliable energy distribution in industry and infrastructure.

Automation of energy systems

In the field of energy generation, we have extensive experience in the automation of a wide variety of sub-processes. These include, amongst others:

Water treatment
Water-steam cycles
District heating extraction
Grid stabilisation using synchronous condensers

Through high-performance control and process management systems, as well as intelligent system monitoring, we ensure the safe, efficient and cost-effective operation of your energy plants. The continuous monitoring of all relevant operational data creates transparency, increases plant availability and supports predictive maintenance.

Energy efficiency and energy management

Rising energy costs and regulatory requirements are making the transparent monitoring and optimisation of energy consumption increasingly important. We support companies with plant-specific energy monitoring and the implementation of efficient energy management solutions in accordance with ISO 50001 and lay the foundations for sustainable and cost-effective plant operation.

IT security for energy facilities

The increasing interconnection of energy infrastructure and industrial control systems places high demands on cyber and IT security. At the same time, regulatory requirements such as the NIS2 Directive as well as standards such as IEC 62443 is becoming increasingly important for operators and industrial companies.

Right from the planning stage of our automation solutions, we take into account secure network architectures, segmented communication structures and tried-and-tested security concepts for OT and automation networks. In this way, we lay the foundations for secure, reliable and long-term plant operation.

We would be happy to advise you on planning new energy systems or modernising existing ones, and to show you relevant case studies from the field of energy technology.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
