Smart sensor is a sensor with information processing function

 In people's consciousness, sensors are widely used in automobiles, industrial automation, aerospace technology, military engineering, environmental detection and other fields, but rarely in the field of electric power.

Nowadays, not only can sensors be found in the field of smart grid, but smart grid is also expected to become the largest user of sensors.

Most of the costs required to build a smart grid are spent on the terminal power distribution system and the terminal information system of the smart grid on power facilities. A large part of the network security software and hardware construction will be invested in the sensor network, which directly drives the sensor market. At the same time, in order to meet the needs of smart grid construction, sensors are also developing in the direction of intelligence, systematization, networking and digitization.

Smart sensor is a sensor with information processing function, with a microprocessor, with the ability to collect, process and exchange information. It is the product of the combination of sensor integration and microprocessor. Like many smart systems, smart grid is not a single individual, but the product of the joint action of many equipment and technologies. Among them, the sensor equipment in the monitoring line is small, but it is absolutely important. In the development of smart grid, the use of traditional sensors has been unable to quickly and directly measure and monitor the quality and fault location of some power products. The use of smart sensors can directly measure, measure product quality indicators, and faults (such as temperature, pressure, flow). For example, in order to meet the development needs of smart grids, my country has introduced a fiber optic current sensing system, which realizes the full digital closed-loop control of the pipeline current sensing system. Accuracy measurement requirements.

At present, smart sensors have become the hot spot and frontier of sensor research in the world. Vigorously develop intelligent sensor research, the leap-forward development idea that should be adopted is the key measure to occupy the commanding heights of future information technology. In the future, the integration of digitization, informatization, and Internet of Things technologies will drive the development of sensors in the direction of intelligence. With the reduction of sensor manufacturing costs, the market's requirements for sensor functions are becoming more and more comprehensive and specialized, and sensor intelligence will also be popularized and applied.
