Application and Advantages of Industrial Switches In Power Digitization

At present, all industries are deepening the Digital transformation. For the power industry, facing the demand of building a new power system and accelerating the implementation of the dual carbon goal, which information technology to choose to achieve the deep integration between the digital grid and the real economy and improve the level of grid digitalization is the focus of current major power groups and enterprises.

With the acceleration of the digitalization process in the power industry, Industrial Switches have gradually become one of the important core devices in power digitization. Industrial switches can not only achieve high-speed, stable, and reliable data communication and remote control between power equipment, but also meet the security management and monitoring needs of power systems. The following are the applications and advantages of industrial switches in power digitization:

Realize digital communication: Industrial switches can connect all power equipment into a network, transmit various data information and signals to a centralized console, and achieve high-speed, stable, and reliable data transmission and remote control.

Realize data collection and analysis: By using industrial switches, various types of data information, such as voltage, current, temperature, pressure, etc., can be collected to achieve remote monitoring, analysis, and intelligent decision-making of the power system, improving the safety, reliability, and efficiency of the system.

Support multiple network protocols: Industrial switches support various network protocols and communication methods, and meet the connection and communication needs of different power systems through the combination and switching of different protocols, such as Modbus, CIP, Profinet, Ethernet, etc.

Support network security: Industrial switches have strict security controls and protective measures, such as standard IPsec VPN, MAC address filtering, SSH encrypted communication, and source address verification, to ensure the security of the power system.

Strong reliability: The power system is one of the only long-term stable and uninterrupted infrastructure. Industrial switches have the characteristics of simple daily maintenance, long service life, and high hardware reliability, while meeting the requirements of high speed, efficiency, and reliability.

Supporting real-time performance: The power system needs to face a highly reliable and real-time network environment. The industrial switch supports real-time data collection, transmission, and control, meeting the high real-time data processing and application requirements of the power system.

The smart grid requires extremely high communication speed, especially during peak power periods, which requires real-time data collection and transmission, fast connection, and response processing. The new network solution of Houshi has the characteristics of ultra large bandwidth, flexible networking, intelligent operation and maintenance, and minimal deployment, which can be quickly installed and opened up, ensuring efficient transmission of power grid data while also considering reliability and stability. Compared to other similar products, it is more suitable for flexible application in various power grid construction scenarios, helping the transformation and upgrading of smart grids enter the fast lane of development.

In response to the network construction needs of high-performance, high port density, and easy installation and maintenance in intelligent substations, Houshi Network has customized a specialized managed switch for it, which can be used as a station control layer or process layer access device, providing 100 and gigabit access applications, fully complying with various industry norms and power protocols, and meeting the requirements of industrial switch safety regulations, fire prevention, and lightning protection standards. At the same time, Houshi has also made the concept of low-carbon and energy-saving a company level requirement, deepening it into the entire product design process, researching and developing technologies in the field of energy conservation and environmental protection, practicing the concept of green and low-carbon development, and ensuring that the "dual carbon plan" has solid technical support.
