Accelerating the digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of the energy industry is an important measure to achieve carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. The 14th Five-Year Plan and the 2035 long-term goals clearly propose to develop the digital economy, promote digital industrialization and industrial digitization, promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy, and create an internationally competitive digital industry cluster.


From April 27th to 28th, the 2021 Smart Power Plant Forum jointly organized by the Technology Transfer and Transformation Center of North China Electric Power University, Zhongguancun Huadian Energy and Power Industry Alliance, various power generation companies and digital service companies was successfully held in Shenzhen, Guangdong.


One of the key aspects of current power plant production safety status and pain points is personnel safety management. Irregular operation of personnel, inability to confirm in time, difficulty in outsourcing personnel supervision, and difficulty in preventing behavioral violations and traceability are the basic problems faced by current production safety management. Based on the development trend of intelligent production in the power industry, the solution is to integrate new-generation technologies such as big data analysis, Internet of Things, and cloud platforms as effective technical precautions for safe production process management, and to build a digital, information, and intelligent management platform to effectively solve current problems. pain points.


UWB high-precision positioning system solution to ensure intelligent on-site management. After practical experience and technology accumulation in the field of electric power, technologies such as location awareness, 3D visualization, video surveillance, face recognition, and two-vote management are integrated into all aspects of the safety management of smart power plants, and real scene information is presented through digital two-way managers to achieve Efficient supervision and unified overall goals.


It focuses on the integration of UWB high-precision positioning technology and two-vote-three-system. The two-vote-three system is the most basic guarantee for the safe production of electric power enterprises. The traditional operation management mode and the real-time correlation between time and space are not high, and managers cannot visualize and track the behavior of operators in real time. In the UWB high-precision positioning system, the two tickets are automatically associated with personnel and space-time information, and electronic fences and operation permissions are automatically generated through the two tickets information, and local and remote warnings are issued for illegal operations such as ticketless operations, overtime, and unmanned monitoring. , and combined with video surveillance for illegal capture. In addition, the patrol personnel in the patrol system should realize post management, and automatically generate the task progress and patrol trajectory of the patrol personnel to avoid safety accidents caused by missed inspections.


5g+UWB integration reduces costs by 70% for enterprises. With the outbreak of 5g applications, new breakthroughs have been made in the high-precision positioning solutions of smart power plants. In the project practice, we adopt the loose coupling scheme of local wired aggregation + 5gCPE, supply network power to the UWB base station in the unit area through the PoE switch, and then the CPE returns the aggregated data to the user center through the 5g network, sinks the data through the MEC, and returns the Factory side server for processing. This not only solves the security, cost and path delay problems of the public network on the data, but also reduces the comprehensive investment in optical fibers, network lines, construction, management and operation and maintenance. The driving force of 5g will better meet the continuous development of IoT technology in smart power plants.


Talking about future opportunities and challenges, 5g+UWBUWB high-precision positioning system intelligent terminals are implanted in UWB. At present, we still use the 5g+UWB module method. In the next stage, we will work with 5g partners to develop a plug-in card tight coupling solution to further reduce customers' investment costs in equipment and implementation. In addition, with the support of UWB technology by mobile terminal manufacturers such as Apple, Samsung and Xiaomi, I believe that UWB will be a technology that will be fully popularized in the future, whether in the 2B or 2C market. In the future, more manufacturers of mobile phones, handsets and smart wearable devices will join UWB technology. At that time, independent electronic tags will no longer be needed to achieve accurate positioning, and the user experience will achieve a revolutionary breakthrough.


Based on location awareness, but not just location awareness. We always adhere to the design concept of technology integration, and constantly strive to bring more efficient, more convenient and lower cost location service solutions to enterprise customers.
