National Energy Group Ningxia Pingluo Power Plant

Customer Introduction

Guoneng Pingluo Power Generation Co., Ltd. was established in 2015 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of National Energy Group Ningxia Electric Power Co., Ltd. As the "ballast stone" for regional energy supply, Pingluo Power Plant shoulders the important mission of ensuring electricity for 436000 households and serving industrial steam for surrounding chemical and metallurgical enterprises. Among them, ICS (Industrial Control System) serves as the "nerve center" for power plant production and operation, with strict requirements for real-time and stability. Coupled with the diverse business needs of this modern energy base positioned as a "green power plant", the overall IT system faces higher challenges in terms of stability, scalability, and operational efficiency.

Facing challenges

1 The compliance requirements of Xinchuang are clear. The core ICS/DCS system needs to be adapted to domestic systems and ensure low latency and high stability operation to avoid affecting unit control.

2 The security protection of the core hyper converged architecture is insufficient. As a key carrier of production data and control instructions, it lacks strict permission control and protection mechanisms, resulting in high risks of data leakage and system intrusion.

3 Distributed management of control and office terminals results in low operation and maintenance efficiency, and time-consuming troubleshooting and recovery; Data is stored in a decentralized manner and the backup mechanism is unreliable, which can easily lead to data loss issues.

Solution

Unlike traditional IT solutions, the Juchen Xinchuang virtualization platform has tailored its core technological advantages to the high real-time, high reliability, and high security characteristics of the Pingluo Power Plant, ensuring deep compatibility between the system and the production scenarios of the power plant:

This project is aimed at Guoneng. Pingluo Power Plant requires intelligent operation and lightweight IT architecture upgrade, adopting a single machine virtualization approach. The server hardware of three domestically produced Kunpeng chips is independently deployed and integrated into the same management platform using a single machine virtualization architecture, paired with the Kirin operating system and deeply integrated with the Harmony ICS System application software integrates computing, storage, network, and virtualization resources into an integrated node device. Realize the visualization monitoring and scheduling of cluster resources through a unified management platform, compatible with system interfaces such as power plant DCS and ICS. Realize autonomous and controllable full chain from chip to software. Compared to relying on traditional chip architectures, this solution completely avoids the risk of external technological sanctions and achieves efficient integration of production data and IT systems, helping smart power plant data collaboration and intelligent decision-making.

Customer benefits

Independent and controllable guarantee of security: The domestic information and innovation solution for the entire chain achieves independent and controllable control of key links, eliminates dependence on foreign technology, avoids "bottlenecks" and sanctions risks, and builds a solid defense line for production operation and data security.

The system provides stable support for production: 3 Set up independent cluster physical isolation+exclusive resource allocation, hyper converged architecture ensures high stability operation of core systems, avoids production interruptions, and adapts to high real-time and high reliability requirements.

Management refinement and efficiency improvement: integrates multi-core management modules, builds a closed-loop management system, improves the level of precision in unit monitoring and equipment control, and helps reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Customized adaptation helps in the long run: Customized services accurately match production scenarios, verify the adaptability value of domestic solutions, provide demonstration experience for digital and innovation transformation, and support long-term development.
