I Background

　　As a key node in the distribution network system, the power distribution room takes charge of distributing power to users. With the development of the market economy and the deepening of the service outsourcing concept in the power consumption system, some enterprises have transformed the management model from "large-scaled and all-around management" to professional management. The demand for hosting power distribution O&M services has also arisen.

　　Power distribution O&M services require highly professional and technical capabilities. A dedicated team of on-duty operators with electrical equipment operation certificates will be arranged to provide professional services for customers, for example, operating management of equipment in the power distribution room, on-duty inspection, routine operation, and equipment management recording. The team carries out regular servicing and maintenance on electrical equipment, implements preventive test, inspection, and repair on electrical equipment according to regulations, ensures 100% readiness of the equipment, and provides 24/7 emergency equipment repair service. Due to the shortage of specialized personnel, substantial increase in employment costs, and increased requirements for power reliability, traditional power distribution O&M model has been unable to satisfy current needs. Therefore, by leveraging the comprehensive sensing technology of the IoT, USR builds a smart power distribution O&M system based on the IoT in a "cloud-pipeline-edge-endpoint" architecture. This system is undoubtedly an important measure to improve the power distribution O&M capability and ensure the safe and stable operating of the power distribution system.

　　I Solution

　　The power distribution O&M system collects the power distribution room data through the wireless network in real time, including the electrical equipment data as well as the power and environment data. With the comprehensive sensing technology of the IoT, the system transmits the real-time data to the power O&M platform to provide basic functions and advanced application services such as 24-hour online monitoring, asset management, intelligent inspection, and energy efficiency management. It can also provide all-around intelligent power distribution room management services.

　　I Industrial Application

　　With the development of the market economy and the deepening of the service outsourcing concept in the power consumption system, some enterprises, schools, hotels, hospitals, shopping malls, government agencies and other units have put forward requirements for hosting power distribution O&M services. The smart power distribution O&M system of the power distribution room can help professional power distribution O&M enterprises reduce manpower, improve efficiency, and greatly reduce O&M costs. For group enterprises with independent O&M, the smart power distribution O&M system can be deployed. It not only provides energy consumption analysis for the enterprises, but also brings a series of benefits such as improving the O&M management level, ensuring the reliability of electricity, reducing the cost of electricity, and enhancing the enterprise competitiveness.
