Abstract:

:As the core of the low-voltage distribution Internet of things(IoT),terminals collect massive data and upload them to main stations.It proposes higher requirements on computing and problem solving capacities of the main station.Functional software inside the terminals can interfere each other and compromise the security.Electrical appliances have to assort with distribution appliances to meet the on-site functional requirements.An intelligent distribution and consumption terminal capable of making edge computing based on container technology is proposed,taking APPs as basic service units and realizing in-situ networking with low-voltage intelligent devices,sensors and intelligent smart meters.The terminal connects to an IoT platform bases on IoT protocols. Based on edging computing,data collected on site by collector are given basic calculations.Then,the data are uploaded successively according to their priority and importance.Selective data uploading can alleviate the restriction on bandwidth and reduce the energy consumption on calculation of the service station.Moreover,the terminal is capable of real-time line fault monitoring and on-site troubleshooting,which effectively promotes the development of integrated power distribution and consumption devices.

Key words: security container, edge computing, integrated power distribution and consumption device, low-voltage distribution Internet of Things, intelligent power distribution terminal, smart distribution network, Internet of Things
