Constructing a reliable unmanned substation automation system using an embedded computer

Background of the project

Power substations require a wide variety of equipment to build transmission and distribution systems, and power substations need to handle multiple tasks concurrently. Traditionally, engineers need to be hired to monitor the performance of the equipment, but such solutions are costly and unreliable because any part of the substation automation system may cause some uncertain failure. Effective substation automation systems require the simultaneous management of communication between many different devices. Under such conditions, power substations need to be relocated to unattended, automatic monitoring systems.

Project requirements

Mean time to failure (MTBF), enhanced system reliability Front-end communication computer for data processing and protocol conversion Establish a platform-mountable embedded computer that can handle data communication between multiple devices using different protocols Easy to install with Ethernet switches Requires 110/220 VAC/VDC Power input Fast system response Speed ​​Effective defense against strong EMI/EMS interference in the field Built-in multiple Ethernet ports are used to establish network redundancy to ensure reliable and uninterrupted systems work

Moxa solution

A Chinese company uses Moxa's DA-662 embedded computer as part of a transmission and distribution management automation system at a substation. The DA-662 front controller is used both remotely and locally in this application. The Moxa UC-7408 embedded computer industry is used as part of this application to control front-end switching devices. In addition, the DA-662 can analyze the data collected from remote devices to provide reliable and powerful computing and ensure efficient and versatile control.
