Power Independence: A Drive for Localized Energy Generation

A Shift Toward the Renewable Power Source

Vietnam’s rapid industrialization has resulted in a surge in energy, particularly electricity. The country has been experiencing fast population and economic growth combined with depleting oil and gas supplies. The country’s power consumption has been significantly increasing from 10% to 12% annually until 2030, which might lead to power shortages.. more

Ensuring Sustained Power Continuity

Their upgraded Distribution Automation System (DAS) incorporates the latest advancements to enhance performance. The DAS utilizes fiber cables, specifically the EtherWAN EX27000 series for remote-control systems within shorter distances and the EW50 series LTE cellular gateway for remote areas, utilizing the convenience of 4G wireless VPN connectivity.
 
To meet the specific requirements of solar and wind power facilities, managed switches are essential. These switches not only provide power redundancy but also offer a wide area network (WAN) connection for backup purposes. EtherWAN, known for its reliable networking solutions, delivers managed switches with a highly efficient redundancy protocol. This protocol ensures delivers a seamless redundancy function, guaranteeing an uninterrupted power supply and backup connectivity for the entire infrastructure...more

Robust Power Substation Management

EtherWAN’s EX27000 series and EX73900E switches were used for mission-critical substations since both switches are IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 certified and perfect for harsh unmanned and harsh environments. They also provide immunity to electromagnetic interference and power surge that can cause power issues.
The switches connected to SCADA were used to integrate with intelligent electronic devices (IED) to enhance and complement the functionality of each remote terminal unit (RTU) within the system to allow a reliable and convenient substation power management and communication system and a more robust and efficient network environment... more

Effortless Integration for Reliable Automation

EtherWAN provides efficient fiber optic solutions with dual-rate SFP ports specifically designed for generation applications. On top of this, EtherWAN incorporates the Alpha-ring redundancy protocol, ensuring minimal downtime in the event of a link failure.
 
To establish seamless connectivity, the installed EX27000 switches within the wind and solar power main control cabinet complement the EX73900E switches. These switches are engineered to withstand high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI), vibrations, and extreme temperatures. Together, they form an alpha-ring configuration that ensures power redundancy, effectively controlling various aspects of wind power plant automation, such as I/O operations, turbine blade control, and solar charge controllers. ... more
