How often do you think about how much power the device you use gives you? Electricity is an innovation that we take for granted, but it has an interesting and controversial past, and for the first time in history it will undergo major changes. Everything we do depends on electricity, and our dependence on it is only getting stronger. 

Ensuring sufficient power supply to a wide range of smart devices for Industry 5.0 and the evolutionary transition to Society 5.0 (S5.0) will require smarter energy consumption and energy harvesting through the use of energy management and new energy harvesting and distribution methods. The developing digital power generation is well suited for powering devices with different loads.

Intelligent Energy Management System (IEMS) offers important implications for energy efficiency and sustainability. Although Industrial productivity as the primary techno-economic objective of Industry 5.0 favors energy efficiency, the digitalization of industrial operations, smart products, connected customers, and the overall overconsumption and shorter product lifecycle intrinsic to the ongoing industrial revolution lead to the rebound in energy demand. IEMS promotes energy efficiency through real-time monitoring and control of energy systems, enhancing the technical and commercial efficiency of energy production, assessing energy quality, and improving the reliability of energy systems. IEMS and the complementing technologies such as cloud demand response systems, smart storage, intelligent charging technologies, microgrids, and blockchain-based peer-to-peer electricity trade help bridge the gap in developing renewable energy resources and integrating them into industrial and commercial operations.

HydITEx transform the existing system PoE Ethernet into a more intelligent explosion-proof architecture. Three fundamental features considered critical to this implementation are the ability to communicate, control the flow of power between the various power processing structures in the system and power packet transmission with short small pulses (50 µJ energy bursts) over cop per Ethernet cabling.

Ex Dep IEMS is a technology that allows network devices to be powered over the same Ex Ethernet cable that carries data. Ex Dep IEMS integration with Ex Ethernet UTP 1000 1Gigabit and Ex Ethernet STP 10G 10Gigabit. This eliminates the need for separate power cables and power sources, simplifying installations. Explosion-proof digital electrical power Ex Dep IEMS uses standard structured copper Ethernet (for example F/UTP CAT5, STP CAT7) cabling and Class 2 low-voltage wiring techniques. Ex Dep IEMS safely transmits up to 1000 W of power over a distance of 105 m ( for hydrogen).

Explosion-proof Ex Dep IEMS digital electric power delivers both digital data via Ethernet and electrical power in a single hybrid cabling infrastructure, making installation much easier and more cost-effective than traditional 110/220 AC or 24 V DC electrical systems. This technology allows power to be taken much longer distances with lower voltage drops – and without dealing with large copper wires.

Ex Dep IEMS The transmitter takes normal electricity and modulates it into small pulses or 50 µJ energy bursts over cop per Ethernet cabling. Each packet contains only a very small amount of energy, less than what is needed to ignite an explosive atmosphere (IIC and hydrogen), so individually they are not dangerous.

Each packet is sent to an Ex Dep IEMS receiver from an Ex Dep IEMS transmitter, which contains local embedded processing. Each power packet is analyzed using a digital signal processing engine to determine that power is distributed accurately and safely from transmitter to receiver. If a fault is detected, the next energy packet is not sent. As long as the electricity stays within the intended circuit and flows in the correct path, it does not cause explosion-proof problems. This protects against high current levels, ground fault, arc fault and touching hazards. The receiver converts the energy packets back to analog DC to power local loads.

The data transmission subsystem interacts with the host system via an Ethernet communication channel. All communication is carried out transparently to the host.

The Ex Dep IEMS system is highly efficient, low noise, and requires little electromagnetic filtering to meet EMI standards.

Simplified and more economical installation.

Energy delivery is carried out similarly to PoE:

installation does not require the services of an electrician;

instead, you can leave the installation to system integrators.

Effective backup operation to Traditional Power Sources

The Ex Dep IEMS system provides backup operation in case of emergency limited power supply.

The Ex Dep IEMS system gives electric power for network device in low-power mode.

* WOL is an Ethernet networking standard that allows a properly configured network device to be turned on or awakened by a network message. WOL is an industry standard protocol for waking network devices up from a low-power mode remotely. The definition of low-power mode means while the network device is off and has access to a power source. This is useful if you plan to access your WOL is an Ethernet networking standard that allows a properly configured network device to be turned on or awakened by a network message. WOL is an industry standard protocol for waking network devices up from a low-power mode remotely. The definition of low-power mode means while the network device is off and has access to a power source. This is useful if you plan to access your network device remotely for any reason: while keeping the network device in a low-power state.
