Automation in Energy Distribution Systems

Published On: December 19th, 2023

Business Challenge

As the prevalence of household appliances continues to rise, there is an escalating demand for dependable and clean electricity. Electricity providers face the task of delivering high-quality power to homes and businesses, often requiring advanced equipment such as switchgear. These crucial components play a pivotal role in ensuring the uninterrupted operation of the electricity network. However, the challenge lies in effectively connecting and organizing these machines.

Technical Requirements:

The installation of a rugged, industrial-grade router is essential in Distribution Automation Plants. Rigorous testing is imperative to guarantee the trustworthiness and reliability of the routers, with a high level of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and the capability to prevent electric shock hazards. The router must provide a diverse range of interfaces, including RS232, RS485, and Ethernet Ports, to facilitate seamless connectivity for all equipment within the Electric Plants. The use of 3G HSPA+ routers is mandatory to establish and maintain a seamless connection between the Electrical Plants and the Monitoring Center, preventing any link failures.
