[Hanover, Germany, March 22, 2017]
Huawei has released a white paper proposing a universal transport solution for smart grid at CeBIT 2017. The proposed solution builds on Huawei's experience in the electric power industry, catering to the unique characteristics, applications, IT transformation scenarios, requirements, and challenges of power communication bearer networks. The solution aims to ensure that power communication bearer networks remain compatible with existing services while continuing to innovate.
Mr. Joe Zhou, Vice President of Huawei Transmission Product Line, announces the release of White Paper on Universal Transport Solution for Smart Grid
In recent years, smart systems have been used in power grids worldwide, and data services such as HD video surveillance and smart office have developed rapidly. This has led to a sharp increase in both the scale and bandwidth of power communication networks. Typically, network construction faces huge challenges. Power grids may span complex and varying environments, such as deserts, rain forests, mountains, and wetlands. Additionally, power generation networks need specialized systems, such as teleprotection services, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), and substation automation (IEC61850) systems. These systems create high demands on both the quality and latency of communication networks.
The solution uses unified switching to integrate multiple technologies, including OTN, SDH, Packet, and PCM. This enables transport networks to provide unified service access from backbone to access devices and simplifies the networks. The solution uses physically isolated hard pipes to meet the quality and reliability requirements of traditional power generation and control, while using IP soft pipes to efficiently transmit video and office services.
By integrating OTN technologies, the solution will provide smart 40G line boards to transmit both TDM and Packet services over a single pair of optical fibers, instead of using two pairs of optical fibers to transmit the services separately. The 40G bandwidth of each line board can be flexibly adjusted to TDM, Packet, or hybrid mode to satisfy power companies' long-term service requirements in various transport network scenarios.
Mr. Joe Zhou, Vice President of Huawei Transmission Product Line, expressed his intention for Huawei to "partner with power companies worldwide to share technological innovations and achievements."
CeBIT 2017 is held from March 20 to 24 in Hanover, Germany. Huawei exhibition area is located at the C30 booth of exhibition hall 2. For more details, see:
