Speed up the energy Internet of things. What can low-power Internet of things technology represented by Zeta do?

as everyone knows , We cannot live without energy . The wave of digital transformation is driving the energy industry to undergo a huge change . And solar energy 、 wind 、 Energy storage is the same as other technologies , Internet of things technology is also driving this shift .

It is predicted that , To 2030 Years and 2060 year , The proportion of new energy power generation in China will exceed 25% and 60%, The power supply will gradually move towards zero carbonization .Machina Research The latest data from , To 2025 year , The global Internet of things market has grown to 270 Billion devices , produce 3 Trillions of dollars in revenue .

Low power wan （LPWAN） Technology has low power consumption 、 Wide coverage 、 Advantages such as remote connection , It is very suitable for smart cities 、 Wisdom park 、 Smart factory 、 Smart utilities and other application scenarios . at present ,LPWAN The market is developing and growing rapidly . As an emerging field , More and more industries began to introduce and implement LPWAN Technology promotes the digital transformation of enterprises .

On the market , Mainstream LPWAN Technologies such as NB-IoT、LoRa、Sigfox、ZETA It is an application technology with high voice , But according to public reports 1 In September, France Sigfox Because of financial problems, it is already in the process of filing for bankruptcy . Now only stay NB-IoT、LoRa and ZETA Continuous cultivation , Besides , There are also some niche technologies to complement LPWAN The pattern of key applications .

So for the energy industry that involves the national economy and the people's livelihood ,LPWAN What can technology do ？

It is convenient to optimize power grid management

Using Internet of things technology, more sensors can be installed along substations and distribution lines , For some abnormal problems of the power grid, the alarm can be sent in time , In particular, some abnormal problems related to operation safety , The network disconnection alarm can protect the power supply of the damaged line and the safety of personnel using electricity , To prevent electric shock 、 Fire and other hazards .

LPWAN Application of Technology , It can also provide real-time consumption data for power enterprises , Energy companies can use these data to make voltage control 、 Load switching and network configuration decisions , Intelligent equipment can even complete automatic decision-making and disposal , For example, the intelligent switch can automatically isolate the problem area , And reroute the power , Ensure normal power supply .

Besides , Electricity consumption data can also be used as the basis for load forecasting . It can help manage the congestion of transmission lines and Distribution Networks , It also helps to ensure that all connected power plants meet the requirements of frequency and voltage control . These energy consumption data provide the whole process management basis for the power grid from power generation to transmission and then to distribution , It is convenient for subsequent equipment improvement and upgrading .

Provide customers with more information

In addition to providing more information to the power supply side, the application of the Internet of things , It can also help users know more about their energy use . Intelligent electricity meter , It can realize simple and portable remote unattended meter reading , And real-time transmission to power companies and customers . And used LPWAN Technology smart meters , It can ensure that in a long time 、 Low cost 、 Continuous operation under low power consumption , And provide accurate and detailed energy use report .

Domestic manufacturers have long been based on ZETA Technology has launched ZETA Intelligent current acquisition system , It can collect the current value of the equipment in real time , And pass the relevant data through ZETA The network sends it to the cloud or enterprise background , And form data analysis report and conclusion , Reasonably arrange production capacity for enterprises 、 Provide a basis for reducing carbon emissions , Improve the management level of equipment power consumption .

in addition , Customers can also install smart devices at home or in commercial buildings , Measure the power consumed by each equipment . Use this information to identify , Especially electrical appliances that consume electricity , So as to save electricity , To reduce energy consumption . Residential users may benefit most from these technologies , Because the U.S. residential sector accounts for 37%. Business and industry , Used separately 35% and 27%, It also benefits a lot .

Remote monitoring Help predictive maintenance management

Internet of things devices 、 Fix the sensor to the motor 、 On transmission and distribution equipment , In this way, remote monitoring can be realized .

Veolia Changyang thermal energy introduces low-power Internet of things technology ZETA, By building ZETA Private network , And carry on each key equipment ZETA End Smart Sensor , Upload the collected data to ZETA Cloud platform , Conduct data analysis and online operation and maintenance management .

Besides , Through these ZETA Sensors measure the vibration of electromechanical equipment 、 Temperature, wear and other parameters , To optimize the maintenance plan . This can promote the full life cycle management of power grid equipment , Realize the passive equipment maintenance from the past 、 Change to device state awareness and predictive maintenance . This preventive maintenance method can be achieved by keeping the equipment in the best condition , And provide opportunities for maintenance before equipment failure , Thereby significantly improving reliability .

The use of IOT sensors also helps improve the security of energy enterprises , Especially for some that may cause a fire 、 High risk application environment of explosion , Installing sensors on pipes or electromechanical equipment can help detect leaks , Avoid energy waste 、 Put an end to safety accidents .

Help digital transformation

In this era of big data explosion , Data based 、 Visual management is gradually emerging . Data collection is the foundation of industrial Internet , The industrial Internet without data will be water without source , The value of industrial Internet largely depends on the quantity and quality of data collected .

The energy industry as a high-precision 、 A highly secure industry , The management requirements for digitalization are bound to be high , With ZETA As a representative of the LPWAN technology , It can collect data in real time through sensors and network terminal devices , And sync to the cloud platform , Realize the quantification of regulatory data 、 visualization . Not only for production 、 business 、 Optimize and adjust the problems existing in the process of management , It can also be intelligent for enterprises 、 Intelligent operation provides continuous data support , Authors efficiency 、 Low carbon benign operation , So as to effectively enhance the competitiveness of enterprises .

The Internet of things is changing almost every area of our economy , Including the energy sector . Next few years , The energy industry will become more intelligent 、 More efficient 、 More dispersed 、 More reliable . Believe in ZETA As a representative of the LPWAN Technology will also be more deeply applied in various scenarios of the energy Internet of things , Help the energy industry with low carbon 、 Efficient development .
