Share:

May. 07, 2026

  In the intelligent construction and digital operation and maintenance system of the power grid, the power time synchronization device is the core basic equipment for achieving unified timing of various equipment in the station and coordinated business data linkage. It provides a standard time reference for the entire business chain of power generation, transmission, transformation, and distribution, and is also an important supporting facility for the smooth operation of the power automation system. Zhejiang Saisi Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. has been deeply involved in the field of time-frequency synchronization for many years, and has launched the TS3000 (4U) power time synchronization device. With stable performance, rich interfaces, and industry adaptability, it has become a commonly used professional timing equipment in power grid projects.

  1、 Application significance of power time synchronization device, ensuring orderly operation and maintenance of power grid

  In the daily operation of the power system, relay protection logic execution, fault recording data acquisition, line distance analysis, whole station measurement and control linkage, accident process tracing and other work all need to rely on a unified standard time base.

  If the time benchmarks of various devices in the station are inconsistent, it is easy to encounter problems such as abnormal protection actions, deviation in fault location, and confusion in system data docking, which will affect the daily operation and maintenance of the power grid and the efficiency of fault handling.

  The core function of the power time synchronization device is to provide a unified time reference for all equipment in substations and power plants, achieving high-precision timing alignment

  Provide standard time scales for relay protection and measurement and control terminals to ensure stable and reliable operation logic of equipment;

  Adapt to fault recording and online monitoring equipment for timing acquisition, facilitating fault tracing and data analysis;

  Adapt to the grid connection of new energy stations and the upgrading of intelligent substations to meet the time-frequency synchronization requirements under complex working conditions.

  2、 Core advantages of Saisi Power Time Synchronization Device TS3000 (4U) equipment

  The TS3000 (4U) power time synchronization device launched by Zhejiang Saisi Electronics adopts a 19 inch standard rack structure design, follows relevant technical specifications in the power industry, and is suitable for installation and deployment in conventional cabinets. It is widely applicable to various power plants, conventional substations, and intelligent substations.

  1. Redundant input of multi-source signals

  The power time synchronization device supports the access of multiple external time signal sources, which can automatically identify and switch available signal sources. It can also manually customize priority strategies to reduce the timing impact caused by the interruption of a single signal source and ensure the continuous availability of the timing link.

  Compatible with commonly used external timing signal access methods, it can adapt to existing timing network architectures on site without requiring significant changes to the original wiring system.

  2. Multi type timing signal output

  The professional power time synchronization device is equipped with rich hardware interfaces and network protocol output capabilities, covering the mainstream time synchronization requirements on the power site. One device can meet the time synchronization needs of multiple types of terminals throughout the station:

  Hardware signal: Supports IRIG-B encoded signals, 1PPS pulses, idle contacts, level pulses, and other conventional hard timing outputs;

  Network timing: compatible with mainstream network timing methods such as NTP network timing and PTP precision time protocol;

  Adaptation terminal: It can connect various power equipment such as station protection devices, merging units, recording devices, servers, measurement and control terminals, etc.

  3. Stable punctuality and time-frequency processing capability

  The power time synchronization device is equipped with a mature time-frequency processing architecture and a high stability timing module, with excellent performance in normal timing; When the external timing signal is temporarily interrupted, the equipment can independently maintain stable time output to ensure that the timing of the station equipment is not disrupted during critical periods.

  The device is equipped with an adaptive calibration mechanism, which can smoothly correct the timing drift caused by long-term operation of the device, suitable for long-term uninterrupted online operation scenarios.

  4. Industrial grade hardware adaptation to on-site environment

  In response to the complex electromagnetic environment and large temperature and humidity fluctuations in power rooms and substation control rooms, the power time synchronization device adopts industrial grade hardware design:

  4U standard rack structure, solid body structure, suitable for long-term cabinet fixed installation;

  Support dual power backup architecture to reduce the probability of single point power failure;

  Suitable for wide temperature working range, with good anti-interference ability, and adaptable to complex working conditions on power sites.

  3、 Mainstream application scenarios of power time synchronization devices

  The interface compatibility of the Saisi Power Time Synchronization Device is strong and the deployment is flexible, which can be adapted to various types of engineering projects in the power industry for practical use

  Intelligent substation: It provides unified timing for equipment such as protection, measurement and control, communication, and waveform recording within the substation, supporting intelligent operation and maintenance, data synchronization, and accurate fault diagnosis.

  Various power plants: adapted to thermal power, hydropower, wind power and other stations, providing standard time synchronization services for unit protection, DCS control system, and power monitoring equipment.

  Grid dispatch and data center: Provide a unified time base for energy management systems, wide area monitoring systems, and server clusters in the data center, ensuring the alignment of business data timing across the entire network.

  Upgrade of existing power station system: supports multi protocol conversion and adaptation, compatible with old on-site equipment and new generation networked timing terminals, adapts to the needs of existing power station renovation and expansion, and simplifies the construction deployment process.

  Zhejiang Saisi Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. focuses on the research and development, production, and solution support of time-frequency synchronization equipment, and has a complete time-frequency product matrix.

  The structure of its power time synchronization device is standardized, with complete interfaces and strong adaptability. It can provide selection suggestions and landing matching solutions according to the actual working conditions of the project.

  With the continuous promotion of digital and intelligent construction of the power grid, unified timing throughout the station has become a basic configuration requirement, and the application popularity of power time synchronization devices is steadily increasing. Saisi Electronics continuously optimizes the performance and adaptability of time-frequency equipment products, providing the power industry with a more adaptable and stable time synchronization solution.
