Optical Fiber Cable Expo 2024 Bulletin: Ensuring Smooth Transition in Electrification Trends

From automobiles to home heating and industrial processes, the electrification trend is sweeping the globe. Advances in electrification technology are making practical, low-cost renewable energy increasingly replace traditional energy sources, thus enhancing safety and pushing mainstream energy markets towards sustainability. Optical Fiber Cable Expo 2024 has learned that, as the power grid expands, the distribution and management of electricity are also undergoing changes. Local clusters known as microgrids, which possess tightly coupled energy storage capabilities, are forming. With the rapid growth in the number of electric vehicles (EVs), this poses challenges to the power supply capability of the grid.

 

The trend towards electrification is also forcing manufacturers to rethink and redesign their products, including how to refuel cars, heat and cool homes, and power industrial facilities.

 

From a technological perspective, distributed assets such as cars, homes, and manufacturing locations are driving the development of related intelligent products, where analog sensing meets digitalization. Simply put, this involves extensive distributed intelligence detection systems, covering every vehicle part, sensor, actuator, storage system, and metering point.

 

Data is the lifeline of this new technological world. To create and capture data, the entire ecosystem needs to interact in new ways, develop complete subsystems, and introduce new technologies in fields such as AI, data science, virtualization, and battery chemistry.

 

Furthermore, the development of new technologies is spawning new value and scientific fields within the intelligent industry.

 

The Optical Fiber Cable Expo 2024 has learned that one major reason for promoting electrification is the changing regulatory environment.

 

Legislations such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), CHIPS, and the NextGenerationEU (NGEU) all encourage private sector investment to drive global decarbonization, thereby accelerating the development of the clean energy industry.

 

  • Impact on Both Ends of the Charging Line

 

The EV revolution is a key driver of growth in the electrification market. The rise of EVs has set higher demands on the power grid industry's management capabilities.

 

The maximum load capacity of electric vehicles is about 10TWh. While this load is small compared to the expected growth in global power production, the fact that EVs move within the energy grid infrastructure over time and space requires the grid load to be dynamic and capable of real-time precise management.

 

This necessitates high-precision intelligent management systems at the other end of the charging line to ensure the reliability of secondary substation operations.

 

In the future, intelligent detection devices related to monitoring and ensuring operation will enable staff to identify issues in routine inspections, thereby improving the energy efficiency, quality, health, and lifespan of the grid. As the power grid decentralizes and new energy sources are incorporated into the power supply system, precision measurement, control, and real-time signal processing equipment will also set new standards to ensure smooth operations.
