Recently, the launch of the new 5G-enabled power system and the country’s first provincial 5G power demonstration network was officially held in Jinan, Shandong. It was officially announced that the country’s first provincial 5G power demonstration network was completed in Shandong and entered the stage of large-scale application. The Shandong Provincial Government, Relevant leaders of the State Grid Corporation of China attended the press conference and delivered speeches. Shandong Mobile, as the main participant of the project, made a special speech at the press conference.

Facing the "14th Five-Year Plan", the Party Central Committee and the State Council have taken the acceleration of digital development and the construction of a digital China to unprecedented new heights. Through digital transformation to drive changes in production methods, lifestyles and governance methods, they have become an important starting point for building a new development pattern. . With 5G technology empowering new power systems, the United Nations Network Shandong Electric Power has built the country’s first provincial 5G power demonstration network. It is a historic opportunity for Shandong Mobile to keep an eye on the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, and work with partners to jointly promote scientific and technological achievements. Transformation into actual productivity, specific measures to facilitate the digital transformation of all walks of life.

As the leading operator in the province, Shandong Mobile gives full play to its user scale, network coverage, talent team and other resource advantages to build a 5G boutique network and bravely assume the role of a network power, digital China, and the main force of a smart society. In 2021, the provincial party committee and the provincial government proposed the goal of building 100,000 5G base stations by the end of the year. Shandong Mobile will undertake more than half of the tasks and ensure that 5G base stations will be built by the end of the year. This will achieve continuous coverage of urban areas and towns above the county seat in Shandong Province, and a well-developed administration. Good coverage of villages and in-depth coverage of key scenarios such as industry applications.

Focusing on industry needs in the energy sector, Shandong Mobile and State Grid Shandong Electric have in-depth cooperation to continuously explore innovative applications of 5G and power integration under the background of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality". In the construction of the provincial power 5G demonstration network, Shandong Mobile has invested nearly 30 million yuan, and will invest 150 million yuan in the later period to further improve the 5G network coverage of power plants and distributed energy in 7 cities. In addition, Shandong Mobile has also built a 5G private network operation platform for the United Nations Network Shandong Electric Power, which faces the full business scenarios of power generation, transmission, transformation, distribution, and power consumption, and provides “end-pipe-cloud” for grid dispatching management. -Using an "integrated solution" to meet the security, reliability, and flexibility requirements of the power grid business.

Traditional new energy power information transmission costs are high and isolation is insufficient. With its safe, reliable, flexible and efficient technical advantages, the 5G power private network promotes the realization of manageable and controllable large-scale distributed energy by grid dispatching, and forms the best communication solution to solve the problem of new energy consumption. The large bandwidth and low latency characteristics of 5G make it possible for distributed energy group adjustment and group control, which effectively guarantees the stable and reliable operation of the power grid. In the power transmission link, based on the integration and innovation of "5G + Beidou + AI", the electric drone realizes automatic line inspection and high-definition video safe and real-time return, which greatly improves the level of fault recognition and the efficiency of inspection by 8 times. In the substation business, 5G intelligent inspection robots can realize real-time monitoring of equipment in the substation and intelligent analysis of faults through 4K high-definition video, and the workload of on-site inspection and maintenance has been reduced by 60%. In the power distribution scenario, the average communication delay of smart terminals is reduced to 13 milliseconds, which can shorten the grid fault isolation time to the second level, and further reduce customer power outage time.

The official release of the country’s first provincial 5G power demonstration network is an important milestone. Shandong Mobile and State Grid Shandong Electric jointly applied for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s "Blooming Cup" Energy Contest and won the first prize, marking Shandong’s integration of 5G and power In terms of innovative applications, we are in the forefront of the country.

Facing the future, Shandong Mobile will accelerate the construction and improvement of the 5G industry "private network + platform + application + terminal" capability system, continue to promote the integration and innovation of 5G and cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things, and industrial Internet platforms, and further promote the application of 5G in the industry. The landing of Shandong has empowered the digital and intelligent transformation of thousands of industries and made new contributions to the construction of a digital province in Shandong.
