Case Study: Swiss Federal Railways achieves lower peak energy costs with SAP HANA Streaming Analytics

How Do You React to Power Peaks without Any Passengers Noticing

The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) faced the challenge of managing constantly fluctuating energy demands and responding to sudden peak loads during rush hours without passengers noticing. To address this, they partnered with vendor SAP to implement a solution using SAP HANA streaming analytics.

SAP implemented a smart, real-time power demand management platform using SAP HANA streaming analytics. This solution automatically decreases peak loads and is expected to reduce energy costs. The results included one-third reduced investment costs by postponing new energy infrastructure, significant savings in peak energy costs, and a proof of concept delivered by SAP in just six weeks.
