Background

From 2015 to 2022, the global power generation showed a steady growth trend. In 2022, the global power generation reached 29165.1 TWh, an increase of 2.3% over 2021. In 2023, the global power generation will exceed 30000 TWh. Electricity as an energy source is growing and becoming more and more important.

Each country has built huge power distribution networks to meet the distribution and use of electricity. Power companies need to monitor the operation of the power grid in real time and quickly handle any faults to ensure the daily operation.

Traditionally, when a power line error happen, the power company needs to send engineer to the fault location, detect the specific cause and repair it. It consumes a lot of human resources and also extends the time for error repair.

Solution - Real-Time FTU Monitoring Powered by Qixiang Router

Energy companies are upgrading their power facilities to be smarter by using FTU (feeder terminal unit). Thousands of Qixiang industry router had been used at the FTU for load break switches, implemented in the Middle East and Southeast Asia power line projects. They are helping FTU using 4G/Cellular network to connect with the control center in real time. To provide the operation status of the power distribution system and information including switch status, power parameters, phase-to-phase faults, ground faults, and parameters at the time of faults, and execute the commands issued by the power distribution master station to adjust and control the power distribution equipment, and realizes functions such as fault location, fault isolation and rapid power supply restoration in non-fault areas.
