The rapid rise of the Internet of Things will help boost the development of the smart grid

As early as 2000, the research theory of China's smart grid started with the concept of "Digital Power System" (DPS), and related engineering practices subsequently promoted the continuous improvement of the construction concept and technology of China's smart grid. It is highly anticipated that on August 7, 2009, Premier Wen Jiabao of the State Council visited the Wuxi Micron Sensor Network Engineering Technology R&D Center and made an important speech on the development of the Internet of Things, which opened the prelude to China’s comprehensive attention and research on sensor networks. The rapid rise of the Internet of Things in China is driving China's smart grid into a new stage of development, and has enabled China's smart grid to usher in a leap-forward development opportunity. Some people predict that in the next few years, the Internet of Things will present a phased development trend for the grid application, and the application direction will become more extensive. In addition, the upgrade of the telecommunication network and the expansion of the operator's full-service will provide good support for the application of the Internet of Things for grid applications.

The application foundation is good As early as 2001, the State Grid Corporation launched a major application of wireless sensor networks in the distribution network. Although there were no large-scale deployments at the time, this laid a good foundation for China's smart grid to attract Internet of Things as an important part of it. During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, the State Grid Corporation of China and China Southern Power Grid Corporation invested more than 1.1 trillion yuan in power grid hardware and management, which has effectively boosted the level of informationization in China's power grid industry, thus creating a good application foundation for the Internet of Things. The “SG186 Project” that the State Grid Corporation began deploying in 2006 is one of the major projects. On August 7, 2009, Premier Wen Jiabao of the State Council visited the Wuxi Micron Nano Sensor Network Engineering Technology R&D Center and inspected and delivered an important speech, stating that “the establishment of a Chinese sensor information center or a 'China Sensing Center' as soon as possible.” Wuxi, Nanjing, Fuzhou and other places have formulated the Internet of Things application industry plans, and both have applied the Internet of Things (IoT)-oriented grid application as an important pilot project to implement and promote this, which has provided strong traction for China’s Internet of Things (IoT) application for grid applications.

A phased development trend will be presented. Industry insiders expect that the IoT-oriented grid application will be deployed according to the "Pilot Applications - Scaled Application - Deep Application and Upgrade Improvement" model, which is specifically divided into the following phases.

Pilot application stage: At present, China's IOT industry standard system is not yet mature. At present, the standard developed by the National Sensor Network Standards Working Group is mainly the communication standard, and the standard system for the electric power industry has not yet been formed. Because the standard system is difficult to quickly improve in the short term, if large-scale deployments are started before the standards are fully developed, it may lead to great risks in the future operation and upgrade of the power grid. It is expected that the IoT-oriented grid applications will most likely be in 2011. Pilot application phase.

Large-scale application stage: On June 29, 2010, the “Smart Grid Technology Standard System Plan” and “Smart Grid Key Equipment (System) Development Plan” issued by the State Grid will revise the technical standards required for supplementation between 2011 and 2015. Basically build a smart grid technology standard system. Therefore, it is expected that during the period from 2012 to 2015, the application-oriented IoT applications will enter the stage of large-scale application as the standards continue to improve. At that time, market demand will likely show a growth trend.

Popular application and upgrade stage: During the 2016-2020 period, as technology continues to innovate, domestic and international standards are increasingly integrated, domestic IoT products and solutions for power grid industry applications continue to mature, and national information security for the power industry With the continuous improvement of the control system, the application of the Internet of Things (IoT) for power grids will enter the stage of popularization, application and upgrading.
