About 42technology
42technology AG is a system integrator of energy systems specializing in industrial customers, headquartered in Langenthal, Switzerland. Since 2004, the company has analysed, planned and implemented complete energy supply systems: emergency power systems and generator controls, battery storage systems (indoor and outdoor) up to the megawatt range, combined heat and power (CHP) units of the smartblock series with 7.5 to 150 kW electrical output, as well as protection devices for medium and high voltage. In addition, 42technology provides electrical energy planning for electrical energy systems up to the double-digit megawatt range, including grid protection, grid connection, MV switchgear and transformers. An AI-based energy management system (EMS) controls PV systems, batteries, charging stations and consumers; the marketing of balancing energy with Swissgrid prequalification complements the range of services. Reference projects include data centre emergency power systems (e.g. Frankfurt, Tier III+, 32 MW system capacity), hospitals, wastewater treatment plants, charging infrastructure and storage projects from 500 kW to 10 MW. Services range from consulting through installation and commissioning to ongoing operation and service.
