Recently, the 2024 China 5G+ Industrial Internet Conference hosted by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) was convened in Wuhan City, Hubei Province. The conference released the 5G Factory List 2024 (hereinafter referred to as “the List”). Two Power Plants under China Shenhua’s ownership were included, namely the Jiujiang Power Plant and the Shouguang.
China Shenhua has been committed to the integrated and innovative development of 5G and industrial Internet. Following the CHN Energy’s unified 5G construction standards and specifications and the overall development plan for industrial innovation and application, the company has carried out joint innovations for 5G networking, access solutions, scale-up applications and demonstration construction. Taking the safety of power plants as the top priority, China Shenhua has built a demand-driven and all-field industrial Internet of Things and data transmission network adapted to the complex environment of power plants, and put forward five major categories of 5G+ thermal power plant technology application routes such as watching, collecting, controlling, inspecting and communicating, marking the access of 5G network to the DCS of the industrial control system for the first time. The achievement pushed forward the large-scale establishment of a 5G-powered high-precision human and vehicle positioning system in the key areas of the power plants, and a 5G-powered full video coverage for high-risk operations, so as to transform safety management from “manual defense” to “technological defense” supported by the smart AI video recognition technology.
