Key Takeaways

Remote Monitoring of Urban Heat Supply System In an era where a low-carbon economy is advocated, energy supply must be highly efficient.

Background

During the winter, cities face rising demand for quality heat supply. With energy scarcity, improving heat supply while saving energy is urgent. The expanding heat supply network and dispersing worker stations make monitoring and managing operation data challenging for better economic efficiency and heat resource utilization. In response, InHand Networks offers a remote monitoring solution for heat supply. This solution oversees the operation status, provides accurate data for the heat department, improves heat utilization efficiency, and ensures devices’ secure and stable operation.

Customer Requirements

Real-time Monitoring
It is necessary to promptly obtain real-time information on key parameters of the heating station, such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, etc., to ensure the normal operation of the system.
Easy Deployment across
Areas
Simple and swift setup in designated zones with user-friendly hardware and easy installation, reducing deployment complexities.
Secure and Reliable
Communications
Robust communication with redundancy mechanisms ensures uninterrupted data transmission to the central monitoring center.
Reliable Long-Term
Operation in...
Design durable hardware resistant to environmental factors, coupled with energy-efficient components, for consistent, long-term operation in unattended or challenging settings.

Solution

Industrial IoT gateway monitoring pipes in urban heat supply system

The on-site IG902 edge computing gateway connects to the heat supply station’s PLC and HMI for data collection, then uploads data from heat exchange stations to the cloud via MQTT protocol.

The remote smart heat network platform monitors heat exchange stations, records alarms, performs statistical analysis, manages reports, and handles system administration and BI demonstrations. This B/S architecture platform is accessible from PCs, mobile phones, and tablets.

It manages heat supply station data, including inlet/outlet water temperatures and pressures, compressor status, leakage, temperature thresholds, activation status, and alarms. This solution streamlines traditional manual management, allowing control parameters to be uploaded to the cloud for real-time fault detection and resolution. This reduces user waiting times and operation costs, enhancing client satisfaction.
