Optical Communication Network Solution for Power Transmission and Transformation

In recent years, as the electric power industry ramps up digital transformation and focuses on building a new electric power system, digital technologies and physical power grids need to be closely integrated to empower energy transformation and improve power grid digitalization. To achieve this, the electric power system needs to leverage advanced digital technologies for coordinating various sensing devices. Adding a large number of sensing devices will inevitably lead to a significant increase in traffic. To cope with this increase in traffic, the power transmission and transformation communication network needs to be upgraded to provide higher bandwidth.

Huawei's optical communication network solution for power transmission and transformation provides secure, stable, and reliable transmission channels for customers' production and management services in the electric power industry. Adhering to the basic principles of "secure area division, dedicated networks, horizontal isolation, and vertical authentication," two networks are constructed: one uses OptiXtrans E series devices to carry production services such as teleprotection; the other uses OptiX OSN series devices to carry management information services such as video services.
