TruGem’s smart distribution grid solution empowers more intelligent, efficient, and secure grid automation — paving the way for a smart grid future.
Background
As the power system continues to move towards intelligence and automation, the distribution grid, as an important part of the power system, has a decisive impact on the overall power supply safety through its operating efficiency and reliability. Realizing distribution automation can not only greatly improve power supply reliability and emergency response efficiency, but also help promote the development of smart grids. At the same time, how to efficiently and safely achieve communication connections between power equipment and the main station has become the core key to the digital transformation of the power industry.
Challenges
Insufficient real-time monitoring and remote control capabilities
Traditional communication methods are difficult to meet the needs of remote control of equipment and real-time status monitoring;
High communication stability requirements
The distribution system is highly sensitive to the stability and delay of the network link;
Power intranet encrypted communication
It must comply with the national power intranet encrypted communication
Accurate positioning and time synchronization requirements
In order to ensure the coordinated operation of the system, high-precision positioning and timing capabilities must be provided.
Solution
TruGem’s Power Router C503 is the core communication hub connecting the front-end power equipment and the distribution main station, which perfectly meets the communication needs of the distribution automation scenario. This solution supports multiple types of equipment, such as relay protection devices, measuring instruments, automation devices, controllers, and remote terminals to connect to the Power Router C503 through the serial port (RS232/RS485).
C503 connects to the power private network to achieve two-way communication data interaction with the distribution main station, building a reliable, efficient and secure power data transmission channel. It supports multiple communication protocols (such as Modbus, IEC 101/104) and data encryption mechanisms to ensure the standardization of power grid communications and information security. At the same time, C503 integrates a precise timing module (Beidou/GPS) and has a network redundant link to ensure the accuracy and stability of key data transmission.
