NORWOOD, Mass. -- (Business Wire)
Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) today announced a collaboration with the
China Electric Power Research Institute (CEPRI) to improve reliability
of smart substations, the “nerve centers” of modern electrical grids.
New electronics and sensor technologies are enabling resilient and
flexible grids to meet the evolving needs of how energy is generated,
distributed and consumed. The ADI-CEPRI team will engage in joint
laboratory and field research to drive innovations advancing the
reliability of smart substations.

ADI has a long history of delivering innovation in many applications,
including high reliability signal processing and sensing technologies
for the protection, monitoring and control of electric power systems.
CEPRI is a multi-disciplinary and comprehensive research institute
within the State Grid Corporation of China, the largest electric utility
company in the world and a leader in the adoption of smart grid
technologies. CEPRI’s recognized expertise in the analysis of electrical
systems, combined with ADI’s smart energy capabilities, constitute a
complementary team capable of engineering solutions that solve complex
grid challenges and enable the transition to the digital grid.
“Reliable electricity is the lifeblood of modern society,” said Rick
Hess, executive vice president, Analog Devices. “By improving
reliability in smart substations, this collaboration between ADI and
CEPRI will ensure China’s utility users enjoy enhanced productivity,
comfort and safety.”
“Analog Devices is a world leader in the development of
high-performance, high-reliability signal processing, measurement, and
sensing technologies. CEPRI has rich experience in the area of system
application, testing and inspection, and power grid operation analysis,”
said Jianbo Guo, president of CEPRI. “Both parties can carry out
innovative and complementary cooperation. By combining the strengths of
electric power systems and electronic systems, this cooperation will
advance the reliability of smart substations.”
Cross-functional groups from both companies – including members of ADI’s
energy systems engineering and semiconductor reliability teams, and
CEPRI’s departments of high-voltage, relay protection, power automation
and metrology – will identify specific reliability issues, jointly
create innovative solutions, hold technical workshops, and draft
international standards, all with the ultimate goal of continuing to
improve the resiliency and reliability of smart substations.
