Grid integration of renewable energy, energy storage systems, and EV charging infrastructure is gradually shifting its focus towards adoption of smart automation for efficient and reliable operations. The rise in the integration of distributed energy resources (DER) into the grid presents new opportunities as well as challenges.
To accommodate the growth of distributed energy resources and efficiently manage them, edge gateways are needed to collect and transmit field data reliably to cloud-based energy management systems. Edge gateways play a very important role in energy management systems and hence need to be easy-to-use, secure, and reliable to optimize the total cost of ownership (TCO).
Moxa’s OnCell, UC, and AIG Series products come together to provide an edge-gateway solution that covers a variety of data-connectivity scenarios helping customers easily find the right cellular routers, IIoT gateways, and Arm-based computers to build a secure and reliable IIoT system.
