Intelligent substation will become a new growth point for video surveillance

Smart substation promotes new direction of power monitoring

Intelligent substations are the upgrade and development of digital substations. Based on the digital substation, combined with the needs of the smart grid, the substation automation technology is enriched to realize the intelligent function of the substation. The design and construction of intelligent substations must be carried out in the context of smart grids. They must meet the requirements of China's smart grid construction and development, and reflect the characteristics of China's smart grid informatization, digitization, automation, and interaction. The intelligent substation has the following features:

1. Closely link the entire network.
2, support the smart grid.
3. The high-voltage-level intelligent substation meets the requirements of the UHV transmission grid.
4. Medium and low-voltage intelligent substations allow access to distributed power sources.
5, remote visualization.
6, equipment and facilities standardized design, modular installation.

From the above characteristics of intelligent substations, we can also see that the continuous use of smart substations and increasingly large market demands have also greatly promoted power monitoring. Electric power monitoring is toward the integration of front-end image monitoring systems, environmental monitoring systems, anti-theft systems, fire-fighting systems, and alarm systems, so as to increase the unmanned or under-represented personnel and improve the safety and convenience of personnel and equipment. This is a comprehensive monitoring and development. Access control and burglar alarms in the field of security, especially video surveillance systems, are mandatory equipment.

In order to strengthen the comprehensive management of transformer substations and unattended substations in terms of safety production, anti-theft security, and fire alarm monitoring, more and more power companies are considering the establishment of a centralized remote image monitoring system, which has led to an integrated power monitoring network. Development. With IP digital video, it can monitor and monitor the data, environmental parameters, and images of each substation/station, real-timely and directly understand and master the conditions of each substation/station, and respond to the occurrence in a timely manner. The need for substations in many areas.

From the trend of intelligentization of substations in China's vast regions and the active promotion of smart substations by the national grid, the intelligent substation market may become a new blue ocean in the security industry. The popularization of intelligent substations will also become a new growth point in the video surveillance market.
