The Research of Internet of Things in Operation and Maintenance for Distribution Grid

Abstract

This paper takes state monitoring, operation and maintenance as business application scenarios, and then introduces the application of the Internet of things technology in equipment condition monitoring, equipment assets management, operation and maintenance of distribution network. The system realizes the accurate acquisition of running status and environmental information of the distribution network equipment through the installation of RFID, the bar code / QR Code and a variety of sensor devices. The practice shows that the application of the Internet of things technology in the distribution network operation and maintenance can effectively solve the problems of insufficient condition-based maintenance method and equipment on-line monitoring and other issues, and enhance the distribution network equipment management and utilization efficiency significantly. Meanwhile, it further enriches the internet of things’ application scenarios in the grid, and effectively supports the construction of smart grid.
