Innovation drives the intelligent upgrade of power transmission and distribution equipment

In terms of technological level, China's power transmission and distribution equipment has reached a certain level in many aspects, but the degree of standardization still needs to be improved. With the development of smart grids, power automation systems are gradually becoming IT based. Traditional communication cables and control cables are being replaced by invisible signals on network cables, which poses huge challenges for power design, commissioning, acceptance, and operation personnel, and also puts forward higher requirements for equipment manufacturers.

At present, in order to meet the needs of the development of smart grids, devices such as circuit breakers and transformers must first achieve intelligence, that is, interact with the power grid system for interactive management, achieve visualization of device status, networked and automated control terminals, and ensure that the devices operate under reliable and economical conditions.

The smart grid will promote innovation in the power equipment industry system through technology, products, and industrial chains, enhancing the independent innovation, technological, and equipment manufacturing capabilities of the power equipment industry. In terms of technological innovation, it is necessary to achieve the localization of core technologies, the localization of key equipment, the industrialization of product preparation, and the systematization of the industrial system.

In terms of product innovation, power transmission and distribution equipment should improve its intelligent quality, achieve the integration of equipment intelligence, and reduce the clear boundary between primary and secondary equipment. Enhance the interactivity of devices, including the interaction between intelligent units and related devices, the interaction between primary and secondary devices, and the interaction between devices and customers. Through the integrated innovation of primary and secondary equipment, the overall solution capability and international competitiveness of equipment manufacturing enterprises will be greatly enhanced.

At the national level, starting from occupying the international technological high ground and mastering the discourse power of international power equipment manufacturing industry technical standards, preferential support policies for scientific and technological research and development should be introduced with power equipment manufacturing enterprises as the main body, so as to form an equipment technology system that combines production, learning, research, and application, form a batch of equipment products with completely independent intellectual property rights, and increase support for scientific and technological research and development.
