The IoT-Enabled Switchgear System Architecture is a modern power distribution solution that integrates advanced sensing, real-time communication, cloud computing, and intelligent control technologies. It transforms traditional switchgear into smart equipment capable of status monitoring, fault diagnostics, predictive maintenance, and remote control.
The system architecture typically includes:
Smart switchgear hardware (with sensors, intelligent terminals)
Edge gateways (for data preprocessing and transmission)
Cloud platform or data center (for analysis and storage)
Web or mobile monitoring interfaces (for visual management)
APIs for integration with third-party systems (EMS, SCADA, etc.)
It is widely used in digital substations, industrial distribution networks, smart buildings, and data centers, enabling digital management, enhancing power reliability, and reducing O&M costs.
