Moxa Solution
Moxa Case in Thailand (IEC-61850 Power Substation)
Pattaya, in Thailand, is leading the way in the country’s efforts to become an economic leader in the Asean region. Pattaya is the pilot city for a Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) program to transform cities throughout Thailand into smart cities, in part to provide the electricity needed to power this economic transformation. The smart city initiative is part of the larger program known as Energy 4.0.
As PEA supports this shift, it must support a digital transformation—from a manual process for discovering power delivery issues to an automated one that minimizes the duration of power outages. PEA has partnered with Italthai Engineering, the leading engineering contractor for the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services, and Moxa, the expert for critical network communication in IEC 61850-based power substation automation systems.
Trimble Solution
Digitalization of power industry requires a comprehensive measure to automation and synchronization of power control systems. This digitalization of power grids essentially means that substations along the path of power transmission system must incorporate modern power control system to automate control functions improving efficiency and productivity of the system. The substation automation system must also enable repetitive corrective actions to prevent against failures.
Substation automation is a mission-critical task and electric power utilities must synchronize across large-scale distributed power grid switches in a substation to enable smooth power transfer and maintain power supply integrity. These task also involves ensuring that substation devices have accurate clocks for system control and data acquisition.
Trimble provides several products that meet the needs of digital transformation in power substations, including modules that can be embedded in PMU (Phasor Measurement Unit), Merging station and devices that provide precise time and frequency together with holdover in case of emergencies.

ADDER Solution
Protect Your Operators and Critical Computers with Reliable and Resilient KVM
Industrial settings such as power plants and refineries have very specific requirements when remotely accessing networks across challenging sites. It is critical to ensure the reliability of machinery while protecting staff and resources. Computer networks in utility plants must be highly secure and fail-safe to ensure the operation is not compromised.
When looking to improve efficiency and protect operators and computers in these difficult environments, KVM technology is unrivalled. Computers can be relocated from hazardous locations into dedicated server rooms while still providing an ‘at-the-PC’ experience from anywhere, both on and off site. This remote access mitigates risk to the generation process, protects operators from hazardous environments, and improves working conditions within the control room.

Robustel Solution
Whilst many utility meters have cellular communications as an integrated option there are still a lot of instances where a separate cellular router such as the 3G/4G routers supplied by Robustel are required.
Robustel have recently won a 2000 site metering project in the middle east using a variety of 4G routers from the R3000 series of products. Projects such as this have built extensive in-house knowledge, something that could be very useful when specifying your next deployment.
Robustel Benefits at a glance- Interface Support – Robustel routers have multiple serial and Ethernet interfaces as well as pulse counting digital inputs to provide a wide range of interfacing options.
- ‘Smart Roaming’ – unique intelligent network selection algorithm designed to optimise the performance of roaming / multi-network SIMs.
- Native Applications – Built-in Modbus RTU Modbus TCP converter - M1200 intelligent modem provides very cost-effective connection to RS232, RS485 or Modbus devices - an application can be embedded to assist with "protocol translation"
- Global Certifications - Global certifications for Robustel 3G/4G routers in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and more - please enquire for full details.
- ‘RobustVPN’ – A unique networking solution from Robustel. Allows deployers to make a remote connection to any Ethernet or serial device directly using any SIM anywhere on the planet without the need for a static IP address.
