Today, electricity has become the most important terminal energy source in today's society. The stability and security of the power grid and the quality of power quality are important factors affecting the development of the national economy.

With the continuous improvement of China's economic development level and the accelerating process of industrial automation, higher and higher requirements are put forward for the quality of power grids. The key to ensuring the stability and efficiency of power systems lies in the technical level of power quality monitoring equipment.

Power monitoring equipment market is accelerating growth

With the continuous improvement of China's economic development level and the accelerating process of industrial automation, higher and higher requirements are put forward for the quality of power grids. The key to ensuring the stability and efficiency of power systems lies in the technical level of power quality monitoring equipment.

As an important equipment in the power system, power quality equipment such as online monitoring systems and power monitors can test parameters such as voltage and current in the power grid to improve power quality. For power departments, users, and power load equipment manufacturers, Important economic impact.

With the construction of smart grids, the uncertainties and potential risks affecting the safe operation of power systems have increased, and the national power supply departments have paid more and more attention to power safety issues. The reliability requirements of power grids are more stringent, and online monitoring products are not available. The market for power monitoring equipment is accelerating.

In addition, the need for new substation and the need for existing substation retrofits will also bring huge market space for power monitoring equipment. According to statistics from foreign market research institutions, the global power quality equipment market will grow at an annual compound growth rate of 5.5% from 2017 to 2023.

Power equipment monitoring technology urgently needs to be strengthened

With the development of science and technology, power monitoring equipment is developing in the direction of intelligence and digitization. The traditional grid equipment health check usually needs to be carried out in the power outage state, and the fault detection rate is low. In order to improve the lean management level and intelligent level of power grid equipment operation and maintenance, power equipment monitoring technology needs to be strengthened and scaled into grid production.

At present, power quality has attracted widespread attention from countries around the world. The developed countries such as the United States and Japan have conducted many years of research and have achieved many important theoretical and applied results. However, in China, due to the long-term tight supply of electricity, the focus of attention is mainly on the amount of electricity supply. For power quality, only the two indicators of voltage and frequency are usually evaluated. Therefore, China's online monitoring technology also faces problems such as large one-time investment, low reliability of state information collection devices, and lack of system operation and maintenance experience.

In recent years, with the easing of the tight power supply situation in China and the continuous improvement of users' requirements for power quality, the issue of power quality has also attracted the attention of relevant departments in China.

In 2015, the National Electrotechnical Instrumentation Standardization Technical Committee began to develop a series of national standards for the measurement of power quality in power supply systems, including the measurement of power quality in power supply systems. Part 1: Power quality monitoring equipment, and in the power supply system. Power Quality Measurement Part 2: Functional Testing and Uncertainty Requirements Two projects provide a basis for power supply.

Conclusion

It is believed that with the implementation of this standard, the technical level of China's power monitoring equipment will be greatly improved. At the same time, the successive implementation of smart grid policies in various countries will bring a broader market and business opportunities to power monitoring equipment.

What companies need to do is to continuously improve the technical level of monitoring instruments and meters, while researching new methods and technologies such as wireless remote monitoring big data analysis. Only in this way can they gain a place in the upcoming blue ocean market. (Source: Instrument Network)
