During the Games, DFE designated over 40 technical experts to form a “Power
Guarantee Project Group”, and over 20 staff members to station at the power
supply sites in Beijing and co-host city Zhangjiakou in Hebei province. They
were on call around the clock to ensure absolute safety of the company’s power
supply system.
Power guarantee involves in regulating and controlling the operation of
many platforms, including the data cloud platform, video surveillance platform,
protection and monitoring system, HP-LP integrated monitoring system,
distribution automation system, and orderly power utility platform. They served
as the “brain” and “heart” of the power supply system of the Games. Safe and
stable operation of the systems is the premise to ensure “no fault” occurs during
the power supply for all competition venues.
During the Games, the power supply was supposed to be smooth around the
clock. The high altitude and low temperature in Zhangjiakou put forward new
challenges to the supporting multi-functional electric power meter and the IoT
border gateway. DFE’ scientific research team rose to the challenges and went
to the project site at the Zhangjiakou competition area to do field researches.
Working day and night to solve technical problems, they finally adopted IoT and
edge computing technologies to develop qualified technology meeting special
requirements. After several rounds of modification, optimization and
improvement testing, their final offering could perfectly handle the low
temperature and featured high reliability, great security and strong instantaneity
for the Winter Olympics, winning praises from customers.
Equipment application site
DFE' online microclimate monitoring system for power line, video surveillance
system for power tunnel, power guarantee platform and other technical equipment
provided all-around sensing and monitoring services on the power line
meteorological environment, terminal station tower cable joints, and video review
during the Winter Olympics. In the harsh winter climate, the technology worked
as an “omniscient eye” to ensure the safety of power supply. It was able to
identify the power line’s state in real time, so as to prevent faults beforehand.
This power guarantee project was a long-term one involving various
products, during which time the Spring Festival came and the COVID-19 epidemic
was ongoing. All of the above factors have brought many difficulties to the
power guarantee group. However, with the joint efforts of all staff members,
they planned beforehand, organized carefully, directed work on the frontline,
and implemented various deployments in a solid manner. Thanks to them, the work
was done smoothly. In the happy family days of the Spring Festival, in order to
carry out such an arduous and lofty task as ensuring the power supply for the
Winter Olympic Games, the group members sacrificed their time to reunite with
their families, worked hard in the frontline of power guarantee, and made great
achievements in their own career.
Stepping up to a new height on a new journey, DFE will continue to follow
the strategic goal of “Three advances, one first-class”, steadily make
progress, and successfully complete this power guarantee mission. With DFE’
efforts, the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games will surely be crowned with
complete success!
