Distributed power delivery possible with smart grid

Terminal servers essential in distributed energy setup
In theory, a distributed powergeneration setup would feature a combination of traditional power generation sites and renewable resources that can all be integrated. Ideally, a wind farm with a large storage battery could connect with solar panels that also use energy storage technologies and these renewable energy sources could also attach to the utility grid. As a result, utility providers can analyze how much power is being generated at each site and strategically purchase electricity based on expected demand at any time. All of this is made possible, in part, by serial to Ethernet solutions that allow the utility technologies at distributed sites to work well with one another.

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.
