Beijing, China, May 9, 2020 - What does electricity mean to us? Three days and three nights for Leishenshan Hospital power, five days and five nights for Huoshenshan hospital power, 37 hours for Wuhan's largest shelter hospital power, peak hours invested in more than 150,000 electricity protection personnel, more than 1,000 emergency power generation vehicles, to ensure the safe and smooth power supply. At the same time, focusing on "new infrastructure" projects, the annual initial arrangement of power grid investment of 450 billion yuan, can drive social investment of 900 billion yuan, and lay a more solid foundation for the development of reliable electricity in various industries. Although this is only the recent results and planning of the National Grid, it is not difficult to see that electricity is closely related to our life, work, and current and future life, so the interruption of power caused by various reasons has become "unbearable light".
All kinds of important moments are inseparable from the "always online" of electricity, once the availability of electricity is affected, it may bring serious security accidents or huge economic losses, to the data center industry, for example, according to the 2017 "Data center cost disruption" report released by the Bolomont Institute, since 2010, the average cost of downtime has increased by 38%. The average cost per incident was $740,357, which equates to nearly $9,000 per minute lost.
There are many reasons that lead to accidents such as power outage and affect power availability, which generally include defects in distribution system design, equipment failures caused by short circuit, overload, arc and other problems, human operation errors in installation and maintenance, low management level, failure can not be automatically or quickly repaired, etc. Therefore, how to start from the perspective of improving power availability? It has become more important to further improve the continuity of power supply, improve the management level, quickly deal with failures, and reduce the risk of power outages.
As an expert in the field of medium and low voltage distribution, Schneider Electric believes that power availability should be improved from the perspective of the full life cycle, so that we can approach the double-zero pursuit of "zero failure and zero risk" for distribution systems.
Based on the EcoStruxure architecture and platform, Schneider Electric integrates more digital applications to form a complete solution covering the upper trunk, the lower sub-circuit and the terminal distribution, and fully guarantees the continuity of power supply with richer selectivity, more advanced cascade technology and customizable distribution system architecture. Reduce the cost and the probability and time of failure and shutdown. At the same time, it helps users to clearly grasp the status of the system and equipment at all times, predict risks, and achieve predictive maintenance. Through the powerful digital function of the equipment, it can quickly locate and analyze faults and restore power supply to meet the different needs of the design institute, the factory, the general contractor and the end user. To further improve the availability of electricity, ensure the efficient and sustainable operation of systems, various types of production or services, thereby helping companies in various industries to protect themselves from the loss and risk of power outages.
