Recently, many places appear hot weather, some areas even reached 42 ℃. With the rapid surge in electricity consumption, the traditional centralized control of the power grid gradually shows problems such as lagging response speed and poor energy consumption management. Grid edge control technology has emerged to solve the control problems in the traditional grid. As the “nerve endings” of smart grid, gateway di edge computing plays an irreplaceable role in high temperature.
Gateway di Edge Computing
Gateway di edge computing, is a device that pushes data processing power to the edge of the network. They can be deployed directly at key nodes such as substations and distribution rooms. It is not only able to collect massive amounts of power data such as voltage, current, power factor, etc. in real time, but also conduct preliminary analysis and decision-making locally. It can greatly reduce the delay of data transmission and improve the response speed of the power grid.
EG8200 Edge Computing Gateway is a high-performance edge computing gateway with graphical programming focused on data acquisition and protocol conversion. It can use 4G/Ethernet/WIFI triple play communication.
EG8200 also supports multiple communication protocols, industry protocols, and IoT protocols. It can help users with remote management/upgrade/operation and maintenance, and can be used to download PLC programs remotely on a virtual LAN. The EG8200 allows data format customization and logic customization. Using EG series edge computing gateway, it can provide more refined and intelligent services for power grid.
Cloud Edge Collaboration, Precise Control
EG Edge Computing Gateway seamlessly connects with the cloud platform to form an intelligent management system of “Cloud-Edge Collaboration”. In the cloud, the system digs out the deep rules of power grid operation through big data analysis, machine learning and other technologies to optimize the scheduling strategy. At the edge, the equipment quickly executes according to the cloud instructions, realizing the precise control and efficient operation of the power grid.
Intelligent dispatching to ensure power supply
In the face of power consumption peaks caused by high temperatures, EG Series Edge Computing Gateway is able to quickly identify load areas in the power grid. It assists managers with energy scheduling, user-side energy storage integrated charging and discharging strategies, and other load regulation mechanisms. It effectively balances the contradiction between supply and demand, avoids the risk of large-scale power outages, and ensures the normal power demand of households and enterprises.
Resource Coordination, Multi-energy Complementation
In addition, EG Edge Computing Gateway also promotes the deep integration of the power grid with other energy supplies. In today’s increasingly prevalent distributed energy, wind power, photovoltaic and other renewable energy connections bring more challenges to the power grid. With the help of gateway edge and cloud platforms various types of resources can be monitored and dispatched in a unified manner. It promotes the complementarity of multiple energy sources and improves the comprehensive utilization rate of energy supply.
Security Protection Against Attacks
Not only that, EG series edge gateways also have strong security protection capability. It is capable of encrypting and decrypting data locally, and protects the security of devices and data through SSL/TLS security mechanism.
In this hot season, edge computing gateways are taking unique advantages and values to promote power grid intelligent control to a new height. They not only ease the pressure on the power grid, improve the reliability and stability of power supply, but also bring us a cooler and more comfortable life.
