Okay. Good morning, everyone. I'm Elena Wei, channel sales manager in Advantech Industrial IoT group. Thank you for joining us in today's webinar where we are going to explore the transformative, potential of green energy technologies. So Advantech, please let me introduce Advantech in few words. Right? Okay. So Advantech, has been established in ninety eighty three and, headquartered in Taipei. Taiwan is a global leader of industrial, PC. So we are holding, forty one percent of global market share in industrial, PCs with the revenue of two point thirty one billion in two thousand twenty two and the market cap of nine billion, we are driving innovation across industries such as, industry four point o, industrial IoT, health care, retail, logistic, and more. Our mission is to enable, an intelligent planet by integrating cutting edge in this, IoT technologies into, critical industries. And Vantec operate over, with over eight thousand eight hundred employees all over the world and supported by three manufacturing sites in Taiwan, China, and Japan. We launch over two thousand new products annually at hurrying, rigorous quantity standards including ISO, ROE certifications. So through strategic partnerships with industrial leaders like, our partners Intel, AWS, Nvidia, and others. Advantech continues to lead the way in building sustainable, resilient solution for the future. So today, I I'll introduce the role of industrial IoT in, transforming specific subsector, and I'll share the real work application stories showcasing how Advantech is making an impact in energy sector. Later, I'll pass the baton to my colleague, Casper Jen, who will cover smart, substations, and to Rais Bin Lin, who will dive into Advantech's IEC sixty one eight hundred fifty certified industrial switches. Okay. Let's start it. So, the energy sector is undergoing a rapid transformation driven by four d's, digitalization, decarbonization, decentralization, and democraticization. So first, digitalization, I believe everyone already know that. So this technology like, IoT, AI, and big data are backbone of the energy transaction. So digitalization enables smarter grids, predictive analytics, and real time energy optimization, creating system that adopt, dynamically to changes. Number two, reducing carbon emissions is an urgent priority nowadays. So whether it's through, electric vacation, renewable energy generation, or battery storage, the swift toward, decarbonization is accelerating cross supply chains and, industries. Third, decentralization. So now we are moving away from centralized power plants to localized solutions such as micro grids. This shift empowers communities and businesses to generate, manage, and consume energy independently, enhancing resilience. Fourth, democratization. So energy must be accessible to everyone from urban centers to remote communities with innovations like, community solace projects, battery storage, and, EV charging. We are making clean energy adoption more equitable. So Advantech's focusing on, transforming four key subsectors in the energy industry through industrial IoT technologies, including renewable energy, battery, energy storage system, which we'll call the BESS, b a BESS, BESS, EV charging, and smart substations. Let me talk walk with you through our contributions and success stories in each area. First, renewable energy. Renewable energy generation, while essential, comes with challenges, such as intermittency and system integration. And then take addresses these, issues through, IoT enabled solutions. Today, I'd like to introduce you an, incredible milestone in renewable energy. So China China's one hundred, megawatt molten salt, solar thermal power plant located in Dunhuang. This, groundbreaking project is not just a marvel of technology, but also a vision of the future. So at the center of this, solar, thermal park here, is a two hundred sixty meter tall heat absorbing tower surrounded by, one thousand five hundred, heliostatus, giant mirrors, com comprising of fifty three thousand reflective surfaces. So these giant mirrors concentrate sunlight onto the, tower, heating molten salt, which generates steam to drive the turbines and produce electricity. It's funny. Right? It's really interesting. So what's remarkable is that the Molten Salt acts like a giant battery, retending heat for up to eighteen hours, enabling the plant to generate power even after sunset. This ensures round the clock reliable and clean energy. Managing such an, intricate, system requires precision, and that is where Advantech plays a critical role. So here you can see, they are using our Acci serious manager switches for the plants. Plants, nervous system, enabling, smooth communication between thousand of mirrors and the control systems. With redundant power supplies and, connection, these, switches ensured an interrupted operation, even in challenging conditions. Meanwhile, our WebSS and MNS software allows operators to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize the system remotely, minimizing downtime and, maximizing efficiency. This project is a testament to the potential of solar thermal power and Advantech's ability to support a complex, sustainable energy solutions. So take another example for, a floating solar farm in Singapore. The client faced challenges in integrating meteorological sensors, inverters, and, energy meters such, as each system spoke different languages. Advantech provide IoT gateways, each device, that, standardized data into universal format. This enables seamless communication, real time monitoring, and optimized performance ensuring reliability in a complex environment. So Singapore's BBR Green Tech has developed an innovative floating, solar farm, groundbreaking solution to meet, the island's nation's energy needs, while maxim while minimizing land use. So, designed for Singapore's nation's, water agency, this system features two solar, PV system with a combined three, MW capacity enough to power three hundred homes. So that's quite a lot. Right? So, utilizing advantex, Advanced Data Logger, ESRP UNO twenty four eighty four, energy meters ECU ten fifty one, and four g routers ICR thirty two thirty one. The farm is equipped with a sensor for real time monitoring, optimizing efficiency, and enabling predictive maintenance. Beyond clean energy, the farm benefits the environment by regulating water temperature and reducing elite growth, showcasing how innovative, collaborative, and sustainable solution can, positively impact both ecosystem and economy. So, NASC, is about the, energy storage. So energy storage is always critical, is a critical enabler of renewable energy. So BESS addresses the intermittency of solar and wind by storaging, soaring, excess, energy and releasing it through peak demand or outages. So here's, another, example that, in North America, we work, on a large scale best project where our IoT ready devices and, energy management system optimized operations within a battery bank. These systems handle critical functions like temperature and, humility, control, predictive maintenance, and energy distribution. By, integrating big data and AI, we ensure the system operated efficiently and reliable reliably, helping, stabilize the grid and reduce re reliance and fossil fuels. So, BES isn't just for large scale application. It's becoming more personal and accessible. For homeowners, this, technology can enable, energy in pen independent independently and cost saving by, soaring energy from rooftop solar panels for later use or peak shaving. Okay. So, here, let's go if we are go into deep, through that, this project is using Advantech technology demonstrate, holistic approach to managing best, focusing on precise temperature and, humanity control to optimize battery performance and lifespan. Advantech's more devices like the Adan sixty seven, seventeen gateway and ECU, one fifty, IoT gateway working together with our fanless edge computers and sensor to monitor and control these systems in real time, ensuring efficiency and preventing issues. This intelligent network not only enhance the grid reliability and reduced, energy waste, but also create a foundation for more sustainable, responsive, and really, resilient energy infrastructure. So benefit consumers with lower cost and fewer outages while supporting a plant's, transactions to renewable energy. The rise so next we're talking about EV, battery factory. So the rise of EV has led to, growing demand for EV batteries. So AdvanTek provides IoT driven solution that, enhance efficiency and sustainability in EV battery production. One of our key collaboration involving EV battery factory, where we integrated industrial PCs and data analytics system across their product line. This system monitored, critical metrics like temperature, pressures, and quality in real time, improving efficiency and reducing waste. Our solution ensured the, factory could meet increasing production demands while maintaining a low environmental impact. So with our expertise, we are supporting, the transition to greener transportation by optimizing a backbone of EV manufacturing. So, to go through in details that, DevanTech, like, is using AI power automatic optical inspection, AOI system. And, to, revolutionize, secondary bat battery manufacturing, ensuring the precise efficiency and quality control. So a South Korean manufacturer faced the challenging of setting up a US production line that required high resolution, fast image capture in limited spaces. So Advantech delivered a compact single server solution featuring the, ACP forty three forty plus AIMB seven eighty a, motherboard equipped with the in this sorry, Intel, Tout, generation core I CPU, and PoE, gigabyte, vision frame grabber card, PCIe sixteen seven t four. And also, NVIDIA GPU card. So this system combines the power of a small data center with advanced AI, enabling real time defect, defect detection and process, optimization. Okay. So and to talk about EV charging station. The adopt adoption of, electric vehicles, hygienists on the, availability of efficient and reliable charging infrastructure. Advantech solution are designed to simplify EV charging operations while ensuring, scalability and sustainability. In recent project that, national EV charging networks, we implemented a system using standard light standardized OCPP protocol, which means, open charge point protocol. This enable centralized managements of the multiple charging station providing real time diagnosed and, predictive maintenance. Features like, condition monitoring, energy usage, and analysis ensure the network operated smoothly and offer user a seamless charging experience. Advantech, is, collaborating with our charging station manufacturer and integrated our AKI twenty five twenty five I Ethernet switch and bus ICR forty four sixty one five g router to create a system, capable of with sending extreme weather conditions, ensuring secure data transmissions, and enabling real time monitoring. The rugged, AKI twenty five twenty five I, white white temperature version of the, unmanaged switches. Ensure, reliable operation with redundant, power and, protection against the electromat magnetic interphrases, while the ICR forty four sixty one support fast, low latency communication for payment, processing, and system updates. Okay. So these stories highlight how Advantech's industrial IoT technologies are driving transformation in reliable, renewable energy, battery storage, and EV infrastructures. But one crucial element of the energy ecosystem deserved of deeper dive is, smart substations. So, please join me in welcoming Casper Jin as he dives into the fascinating world of the smart substation. Hello, everyone. I'm Casper, and I'm happy to share with you the following sustainable sustainable, a future in energy and utilities. So I'm Kasper comes from Davin Tech, a head of industrial infra product product division and lead, digital substation and intelligent transportation computing platform and the substation platform product roadmap. And I typically engagement with our technical partner like Intel, Nvidia, TDtech, VMware, and the Red Hat. And also with, our solution panel like ABB, Siemens, Schneider, and the so on to provide our protection and automation solution. The other important thing is we are the founding member for the VPAC and the EFS alliances. So this is my, short briefing. So as you know, the demands for energy market is expanding the rapidly because of, like, EV charger, AI server, and so on. So you can see the chart on the slide. And, more and more power generator not only comes from nuclear, oil, coal, and the strong they comes from different renewable energy. So it means for the power grid, power of the transmission getting more complicated because it's not from a single source. It comes from a multiple source. So makes the connection from the the unit direction to the bidirection. So what we are focusing focusing on from the, the Vintech point of view, they are we start today, I will go through a smart substation, but we cover the renewable energy, BESS, and the EV charger. But the substation is the kind of core, the bare bone of the old energy. So I would like to emphasize how what our, experience in the smart substation in terms of IECs one a fifty redundant protocol and, virtualized technology. So I will show you what the challenge you, your company are facing right now and what the solution we co co op with and co create with our eco partners together to offer them the solution to the market. So what's the smart substation? Right now, they have, like I mentioned, complicate the the the situation than before because they need to deal with multiple source, multiple generator from different, like, nuclear and renewable energy. So IT technology can really help the utility company to reduce the the loss between among all the the energy transmit. So that's why they require more and more advanced, but reliable technology into the utility. So what's the benefit for them? The first thing is they can reduce the cost in terms of low low substation footprint. I mean, the size and the devices and also caboring because the the the latest technology can can interoperate with all the devices. They don't need to each proprietor comes from different vendors. It's really complicated when the communication get more complicated. The other thing is we also can offer, like, a ten years warranty in this field because when substation build up, they need a long term product life support and, extended the RNA or warranty support. The most important thing is we also can decrease the environmental impact to help a lot more and more renewable energy can go through our backbone, virtualized technology. And we improve the worker safety because less and less the young guys would like to do this kind of job. So once we turn into, like, more intelligent way, so it's easy to management and even provide optimized solution to market. So that's why we keep talking with our e coupon to provide, like, a virtualized technology into the substation. So this is the the chart about our ecosystem. It comes from a high or ultra high voltage to a substation and with a middle voltage to a substation as well. So this is the the thing we are dealing with all kind of different, generator, renewable generator and the Chattanooga generator. And we also, deliver the the the the energy to our consumer, like, industrial or AI or the EV car. So this is the the the whole the high picture. I was a high level picture of the whole ecosystem. So what we are going to do now is you can see this chart. This is the latest, new, outage for the substation platform. From the left side, you can see the process label. Normally, it can, include, like, a switchgear, transformers, breakers, and the protection relay. This is on on the field. And the second layer is a bay layer. It's normally, we talk about this kind of IED. You need to connect with, like, a HSR PRP and to talk with IEC, a fifty vertical, like a goose, like NNS, to communicate each other. And it's must be real time to do to make sure everything can, under control, everything can ensure they can deliver the information in time. So the sorry. The the last the the top of label label is station label. So it's normally, we call it a scanner label. It's monitor all of the devices. But right now, we cover with our e co partner. We try to deliver the the machine with high power computer can cover the station label and the bay label because they can do, like, a original scanner, but also low protection relay. But if we are going to talk about protection rate, it's not easy as the scanner label because we need to ensure the latency on each devices. So that's very important. And it's not test in the may maybe one day or three day. It may it need to test, like, half a year and even one year to ensure under every kind of a situation, the machine still can guarantee their latency, still guarantee their reliability, they still guarantee their resilience. So this is very important before the ITLP guys adopt this technology. So before we step into these things, it cannot be done by one person, like, the Ventec. So we will show you what our call with our partners. But before that, I will show you our real cases. This is a real cases we deal with our we call with our partners, and then we deliver our ECU product line into a substation. When they talk about how to give landmower the efficiency to to management this utility facility, we offer our, reliable machine, but we also cover with our, like, ABB to provide the centralized control. So it's it's very cost effective to to our utility end user and at least easily to make everything to become a software defined. So we don't need the all the devices to different kind of purpose. So we just soft soft supervise, or call it virtualized or containerized into our machine. So it's easy to to see what the current status is and, how to easily deploy to different kind of utility. So it is all benefit to do more of flexibility and, scalability. So it make a lot utility, the IT guys more happy. So the OT guy also, little bit worry about, like, kind of a technology, but we already proven this kind of technology in in your TFT company in Europe. So we have more and more confidence level to do that. And not only this, you can see, we are already implement it in the utility company. So from the top side, you can see the legacy. They use electronic mechanical devices. So it's a thousand devices, but, right now, it turns to, like, microprocessor IED. But we are in a stage to the services, so it is on the way. So you can see the picture from the bottom. Lay you can see a lot of devices and a lot of cable to connect each of these devices together. But right now, you just only need one or two cables to match to to deliver all things. So like I mentioned, it cannot be done by one single supplier. We need to cover with all our eco partner. So we join, and we are the community members in the VPAC and the e four s. This is why we can hear the voice of the customer, and then we really deal with them and help them to enable the IT technology into the utility business. So this is very important to coop with our partners because they are all already know what the the their pinpoint is and what the the they probably lack of the the latest technology support. And so we are, at the Ventec, working with this the business more than ten years. So we have a real good relationship with land, and also we joined the VPAC and they for us to become a layer committee member to offer the the the latest reliable technology to land, to work together to shape the our future energy. Thank you to today's my sharing. Thank you, everyone. Hi, everyone. I'm Rasping from the industrial switch product division. Since the smart grid become popular in each country, you may hear the HSL PRP, GOOSE, and MMS technical term, but do not know what it is and how it works. Well, these are all related to the IEC61850. Today, I will show the IEC61861F50 network and our automatic module switch for you. IEC61850 is a Substation Automation Standard Let's define the communication protocol between the different equipment such as the protection, control, and the measurement equipment, as well as the IED. Why did the IEC sixty one FFT become so successful? There are three the benefits. The first one, unified communication, avoid proprietary protocol. The second, reduce cost, example, wiring and engineering times. The third, improve the setup and maintenance process. To know each load in the substation, we can see the architecture. The IEC sixty one F-five fifty standard defines three labels. The first one is the station label, and it contains the station, SCADA, and HMI. It's used to control and monitor the station. The second label is the bay label, where we have to ID, and the ID is mean the new name of relay to reflect the capability to take a decision based on the logical and information collected from the Process Label device. The last one is a Process Label, where we have a switchgear like a circuit breaker and a switch, And the instrument device, like a current transformer and a voltage transformer. Now, we are going to talk about the communication protocol. The transmission protocol used to handle aspect types of data transfer. Are one of the main aspects of the IEC sixty one FFT standard. The abstract data model defined in IEC sixty one FFT can be mapped to the number of the protocols, including MMS, Gauss, and SMB. This protocol can run over TCPIP networks to ensure the faster response time. MMS is used to the communication between the IED and the SCADA system for application, communication, and monitor data exchange. Gauss is used to send a message regarding the status between the ID. SME protocol is related to the power line, current, and the voltage measurement. The redundancy is also important in the substation. To guarantee the value of the information, the IC6850 defines the two schemes of redundancy, HSR and the PRP. Both HSR and PRP are zero packet loss redundancy protocol. HSR is a ring redundancy protocol. It has to be a ring topology, and it can be a zero packet loss by duplicate the pairs and also duplicate the packet. PRP is based in the use of two networks to which nodes are connected. So frames are saying the parallel using the two networks ensure secure communication against one fail in the network. Now, we are showing an example of the IEC sixty one F50 network. Here is a typical power automation application. Are you familiar with it? I think it's yes. Because it follows the IEC sixty one F50 architecture. From this application, we can find several things. The first one, the switch must be IEC sixty one FFT certified to meet the industrial standard. The second, the switch is installed in the bay level to connect different IEDs by fiber or copper cable. Third, the switch in the ring topology to make ensure redundancy. Today, I would like to introduce our new module switch, AK85A. AK85A is a standard ninety inches rigmarole layer three module management switch, which supports up to the twenty four gigahertz port and the four ten gs uplink solution. With the modular design, users can choose a different Ethernet module, like copper or SFP, and AC or DC power module, fulfill various kinds of substation scenarios, like copper IED or fiber IED. With With high performance hardware, AK-852A is certified with different industrial standards, like IEC sixty one FT-three and IEN fifty thousand one hundred and twenty one to fit different industrial applications. For suspension, AK-eighty five-two A supports not only HSRP modules to fulfill the Lidewacket loss application, but also IC-six thousand eight hundred and fifty QoS to give the good protocol high quality in the network. AK-852A is also TSN enabled for future proof. AK-eighty five-twenty eight is the best choice when designing the IEC sixty one FT network. In general, we know there are two types of switches. One is the unmanaged switch. The unmanaged switch means you don't need to configure. You just plug and play, then you can use it. You just need to decide the requirement of the portcans and the network speed. The other is the management switch. The management switch has two types, layer two and layer three. We will explain the difference in the following slides. The major switch means you can remotely manage your network. For example, if you want to monitor the port status, network traffic, or when disconnection happened. You want your switch to recover the network automatically. You will need a managed switch to help you to finish all things. We'll move to the next slide. Before we talk about the difference between layer three and layer two, let me introduce the network concept. It's called an OSI seven layer model. This concept is defined by ISO organization. The OSI model describes the seven layers and the computer system used to communicate over a network. It was the first standard model for network communication. Today we don't have much time to introduce in detail. You just need to know the switches are related to the lower three layers. The layer one is the physical layer. Layer two is the data link. The layer three is the network. Each layer has layer defined own protocol. Now I guess you can know when we talk about the layer three switch, it means the switch can know the routing protocol like the IP or OSPFO. Layer two switches can handle the layer two protocols like MAC, VLAN, or QoS. Since we know the OSI models, it will help you to understand our portfolio. Here is our AK switch portfolio. We have a comprehensive report online including an unmanaged switch AK2000 series, layer two switch, our AK700 series, layer three switch, and a special switch for vertical markets like a railway or our power substation. Today we are focused on the layer three switches, our AK nine thousand seven hundred and nine thousand six hundred series. We move to the next slide. The first model is the AK nine thousand six hundred series. We have AK9612 for the DIN rail type and nine thousand six hundred and twenty eight for the Richemont type. Both models are all giga b link and support dual power input. They can work in the -forty degree to seventy degree. Besides, both models support steady routing and the n-eight feature. AK nine thousand six hundred series is our best model for layer three. The following is the advanced model AK nine thousand seven twenty eight. This model provides the twenty eight ports, sixteen giga copper and eight giga combo ports. It means you can select eight giga copper or eight giga fiber, and plus the four ten gs sb plus uplink. This model supports four LTL2 functions like VLAN or span tree, multicast, and QoS, and also supports steady routing and dynamic routing. It can work in the -forty degree to eighty five degrees, and also has two skills for different power inputs. All switches are available in our website. If you are interested in this model, you can find our advanTek website for more information. Okay, so the last slide is our application for industrial automation. With the routing capability, the user can separate the accounts, communicate within multiple subnets to enhance efficiency and security. Okay, so here is today's my session.
