Energy - Remote Power Station Control Solution
Overview
This solution enables remote control of power station keys. After evaluating various data transmission technologies for their SCADA telemetry network, the customer chose 4G Industrial Cellular Routers as the most cost-effective and capable option.
Challenge
The customer requires an affordable 3G/4G cellular solution with one Ethernet port, port mapping, and support for VPN technologies like IPSEC and OpenVPN.
Key Requirements for Power Station:
- Durable Design: Must operate reliably in humid and extreme temperature conditions.
- Enhanced Features: Support for transparent mode, port mapping, IPSEC, and OpenVPN.
- Secure Service: Provide reliable and secure data transmission for real-time remote monitoring of RTUs.
Solution
The 4G modems are used in the electricity distribution network to connect dispatch centers with the control panels of sectionalizer keys in electrical substations. Communication is secured through private APN services and VPN encryption, allowing remote management of these keys.
Solution Advantages:
- Cost Savings: The NE2201-140 enables real-time monitoring, quick fault response, and preventive maintenance planning, significantly reducing labor and costs.
- Reliable Communication: The NE2201-140 Router ensures low-latency communication and dual SIM capabilities for network redundancy.
