In line with China’s push for digital transformation in key sectors, State Grid Shanghai has successfully upgraded its smart power supply support system for the seventh China International Import Expo (CIIE). This new version of the system enhances the company’s ability to monitor and address power supply issues in real-time, ensuring that critical infrastructure at the expo remains operational throughout the event, which runs from November 5 to November 10.
Key Features of the Upgraded System
- Real-Time Risk Detection: The system is equipped with advanced algorithms to recognize risks in real time, identifying potential malfunctions or disruptions in the power supply before they escalate into significant issues.
- Precise Fault Location: The smart system can accurately locate malfunctions in the power grid, allowing for quicker identification and response.
- Automated Repair Services: Once a malfunction is detected, the system can initiate repair services automatically, reducing downtime and ensuring a smooth power supply throughout the event.
- Expanded Data Collection: Fu Huimin, a representative from State Grid Shanghai, explained that the company has expanded its data collection infrastructure by adding 736 new measurement points, bringing the total number of collection points to 4,679. This allows for high-density data collection, enabling fully digital monitoring of the power grid’s performance.
Enhanced Inspections and Preparedness
State Grid Shanghai has also conducted comprehensive inspections of key CIIE venues in anticipation of the event:
- 9,842 kilometers of cables have been inspected at critical venues, including the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), Grand Halls, and areas around the Huangpu River.
- A team of over 2,000 staff members is responsible for facility guard services and 24/7 inspections during the event, ensuring that the power supply infrastructure is fully functional at all times.
- In case of emergencies, more than 3,000 emergency repair personnel and 800 vehicles are on standby across the city, ready to respond to any unforeseen power disruptions.
Ensuring a Smooth Experience for the Expo
The smart power supply system upgrade is part of a broader effort to ensure the reliability and resilience of Shanghai’s infrastructure during one of the country’s largest international trade events. With thousands of exhibitors and visitors from around the world expected at the CIIE, the reliability of power supply is critical to the success of the event.
State Grid Shanghai’s efforts to leverage digital technologies and real-time monitoring are in line with the company’s ongoing efforts to build a smarter, more efficient power grid, contributing to the success of large-scale events like the CIIE while supporting China’s broader goals of innovation and sustainability.
