Compared to traditional systems, modern hydropower plants can integrate multiple systems to achieve higher performance and stability at a lower cost.
In traditional systems, key systems responsible for excitation, regulation, volute structure, pressure pipes, and turbines run on different network protocols. The cost of maintaining these different networks is high, often requiring additional engineers, and the network structure is usually very complex.
A hydropower plant plans to upgrade its system and complete modernization to improve power generation efficiency.
System Requirements
Deploy AI systems in the control network to obtain data in real time without affecting the performance and safety of power generation facilities, while not occupying the bandwidth for transmitting critical control data;
Establish a unified network to merge different types of applications for seamless communication;
Support gigabit communication.
Moxa Solution
The operating company of the hydropower plant is determined to integrate all isolated networks through TSN technology and deploy AI systems for the control network. This strategy is very suitable for this case.
By controlling different applications through a unified network, the network structure is simpler and the cost is greatly reduced. The simplified network structure can also increase network speed, make control more precise, and enhance network security.
TSN solved the interoperability problem between the control network and the newly added AI system, meeting the company's needs to deploy AIoT solutions.
Moxa's TSN-G5008 Ethernet switch is equipped with 8 Gigabit ports to connect all different types of control systems to form a unified network. With sufficient bandwidth and low latency, the new TSN network can transmit massive amounts of data for AI systems in real time.
After the transformation and upgrade, the hydropower station has significantly improved its efficiency and can quickly adjust the total power output to the grid as needed, transforming it into a new type of hydropower station with lower costs, easier maintenance, higher efficiency, and stronger adaptability.
Moxa's DRP-C100 series and BXP-C100 series data loggers are high-performance, adaptable, and durable. Both x86 computers come with a 3-year warranty and a 10-year product life commitment, as well as comprehensive after-sales support in more than 100 countries around the world.
Moxa is committed to providing high-quality, durable products to meet customer needs.
