Digital solutions for next-generation power distribution
Introducing Toshiba’s digital services for power distribution, backed by our extensive experience.
The digital transformation of construction and maintenance
Substation Cable Schedule
Digital Cable Data Boosts Field Efficiency
Control cables are essential for signal transmission between substation devices, helping ensure a stable and reliable power supply. Previously, paper-based diagrams made updates difficult and often caused wiring mismatches during panel changes. Cable Schedule digitization enables accurate and comprehensive visibility of connection status, reducing errors and improving operational efficiency.
Remote Support and Monitoring
LPIS™（Low Power IoT Solution）
Supports remote monitoring by collecting valuable sensor data in real time, even in mountainous areas without power source or mobile phone signal coverage.
LPIS™ enables the collection of various sensor data, such as water level and rainfall, even in mountainous areas with no electricity or no access to telecommunication networks. LPISTM transmits sensor data through multiple relay nodes using a bucket relay method which enables wide and flexible coverage, even in areas with complex topography. And each relay node ensures long-term operation using dry cell batteries. LPIS™ supports integration with customer systems for real-time remote monitoring.
Remote Support Application
Remote support reduces on-site travel for supporters, and digitalization improves work efficiency
This is an internet-based communication tool designed to allow supporters to remotely monitor site conditions and provide guidance to field operators. It significantly reduces the need for on-site visits. And digitizing reports and checklists improve job efficiency. In contrast to standard web conferencing applications, this software offers features specifically designed for field operators, promoting on-site adoption and facilitating effective remote support.
The digital transformation of operations
Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) Service
Sensorless DLR enables efficient utilization of existing transmission infrastructure and supports advanced grid operations
Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) enables real-time monitoring of conductor temperature to optimize utilization of existing transmission capacity. Toshiba’s sensor-less DLR service leverages advanced weather forecasting and wind analysis to determine transmission line ampacity in real time, eliminating the need for physical sensors on the lines. This approach facilitates secure increases in power transfer across existing infrastructure, advancing carbon neutrality objectives and postponing the necessity for expensive system upgrades.
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) contributes to improved resilience, digital transformation and efficiency, and the creation of new services
A next-generation Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) enhances grid resilience and supports demand response initiatives, leading to increased energy efficiency. Toshiba is advancing technologies in cellular networking and multi-hop mesh networking, optimized network design, and cyber security solutions to ensure reliable system operation. Toshiba provides communication units for smart meters, concentrators, and head-end systems, and has extensive experience supplying one of the world’s largest smart meter networks.
Cloud-based Power Flow Analysis
By providing the basic functions of power flow analysis as a cloud service, we have achieved greater efficiency and sophistication in system operation.
Power flow analysis based on cloud platform improves efficiency and flexibility in operations. Toshiba’s cloud-based power flow analysis allows users to perform analysis without requiring their own high-performance computing resources and allows users to perform advanced grid analysis from anywhere, aiding digital transformation initiatives.
