Using smart grids to support renewables
Developing renewable resource strategies can help utility providers operate much more sustainably. However, this presents major interoperability challenges. Serial to Ethernet solutions can help electric companies establish the network infrastructure they need to support renewable energy use by enabling interoperability infrastructure in smart grid systems. In turn, smart grid provides organizations with the ability to use real-time data analysis to maximize the value of renewable energy sources.
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.
