Recently, Schneider Electric, a global expert in digital transformation in the field of energy management and automation, officially launched the new PO Easergy A5 power Load Automatic control system (hereinafter referred to as “PO A5 Power Load Automatic control System”). With the four core capabilities of standard logic, simple wiring, online simulation and digital operation and maintenance, the POA5 power load automatic control system can connect virtual and reality, achieve a high degree of digitalization and modularization of design, engineering, operation and maintenance in the whole life cycle of products, and help the data center complete rapid layout and stable and intelligent operation with digital “palm” control force. Lay a “base of computing power” for the construction of digital China.

The continuous construction of digital China is promoting the vigorous development of the data center industry. The Overall Layout Plan for the Construction of Digital China clearly proposes to open up the major arteries of digital infrastructure. As a computing infrastructure, the data center industry is ushering in a period of rapid development, and gradually showing the characteristics of scale and intensification. Due to the complex equipment of large data centers and the strict requirements on the continuity of power supply, traditional control schemes are often implemented with highly customized schemes, which also causes difficulties such as high complexity and difficulty in design, high customization in construction, high information asymmetry in maintenance, and difficult traceability in operation during project construction.

Based on the insight of users’ needs and industry-leading digital technology, in order to optimize the continuity of power supply and improve the efficiency of equipment operation and maintenance, Schneider Electric has launched a new POA5 power load automatic control system based on the EcoStruxure™ architecture and platform. The product digital twin model has the characteristics of modularity, autonomy and continuity, and can achieve a high degree of digitalization and modularization of design, engineering, operation and maintenance in the whole life cycle from the perspective of design, testing, adjustment and operation and maintenance, and effectively reduce the design and construction amount of data center construction and distribution in order to standardize, simplify, simulate and digitize the four values. And save on construction and maintenance costs to help build sustainable data centers.

Design standardization: Through standardized design, the complex logic control chart does not need to be converted into a schematic diagram twice, reducing secondary development, while using digital simulation to verify in advance, speeding up the debugging efficiency, saving 80% of the design workload.
Engineering simplicity: the use of optical fiber to replace the past hard wiring, and based on standardized wiring logic to reduce the field workload, thus saving a lot of manpower and material resources for the design and construction phase, and save 80% of the field wiring workload.
Digital maintenance: 24/7 real-time online monitoring of logical signals, and can automatically generate customized operation and maintenance reports according to user needs, to achieve the optimization of personnel input and management process in the operation and maintenance stage, reducing operation and maintenance costs by 80%.
Operation simulation: The use of digital twin models to simulate simulation tests, simplify the field query and maintenance work, reduce the commissioning engineer’s workload by 80%.For the launch of the new PO A5 power load automatic control system, Wu Xinlu, general manager of energy automation of Schneider Electric’s digital energy efficiency business, said: “Data centers are the underlying hardware foundation to promote the development of China’s digital economy, and how to empower the construction of data centers with digital technology is the key to the development of the industry.” With years of industry expertise and outstanding digital technology, Schneider Electric has created the POA5 power load automatic control system for data centers to optimize the design, construction and operation management of data centers with superior digital control capabilities. In the future, Schneider Electric will continue to play its own leading digital technology, with high-quality green hardware and software products and smart solutions covering the whole life cycle, further empower the construction of future-oriented data centers, consolidate the ‘computing base’ of digital economy development, and empower the construction of digital China.”
