30 years of AVAT: From engineering office to enabler of the energy transition

 30 years ago today, #AVAT was founded. We look back with pride. Especially with regard to our contribution to the #EnergyTransition. But we also look ahead with energy: With our holistic automation solutions, we are ideally equipped for the challenges ahead.


Our special feel for the specific needs of customers and a keen understanding of the various application scenarios in the energy industry have enabled us to outgrow ourselves several times over the past decades. Continuously, we have presented groundbreaking solutions over the last 30 years: the first digital control technology for intelligent gas storage management, the first digital gas engine control, our configurable energy center control, an AI forecast-based plant optimization ...

From the beginning, we have focused on efficient and sustainable use of our finite resources and a holistic view of our future energy systems: With our cross-level, end-to-end digitalized solutions, we control local and district heating systems including heat networks, complex neighborhood solutions with sector coupling, and hybrid energy centers with integrated renewables. Today, our portfolio is complemented by grid control and energy management systems as well as predictive generation and load management for the optimization and marketing of bundled energy plants in virtual power plants and smart grids.

Frank Ganssloser, #AVAT founder & CEO: "We have developed in many areas since AVAT was founded. 140 employees now work in interdisciplinary teams on holistic technology solutions for the energy transition. But one thing will not change in the future: Our customers appreciate us because we make their challenges ours and find the best solution both technically and economically."
