Making a case for microgrids

Terminal server infrastructure is vital to supporting the potential flexibility and efficiency gains offered by microgrids. If you want to make a microgrid work effectively, you probably have to think about connecting serial systems to Ethernet effectively. Serial to IP functionality is, therefore, central to finding success with microgrids.

Perle offers a range of cost effective serial-to-Ethernet converters to help meet NERC-CIP compliance for the protection of critical cyberassets in substations. The IOLAN SDS HV/LDC Terminal Server is designed to meet harsh environments associated with Power Substations with attributes such as support for substation AC and DC voltage ranges, extended operating temperatures and meeting emission, immunity and safety approvals associated with substation IT equipment.
