The timing and synchronization of power utilities and railways is an incredibly important aspect of their operations. Without properly timed and synchronized processes, the systems that provide electricity and transportation services to millions of people around the world would be unable to function. To ensure that these services are reliable and efficient, power utilities and railway operators must take steps to address the challenges of timing and synchronization.
One of the biggest challenges of timing and synchronization for power utilities and railways is the need to maintain high standards of accuracy. Power utilities must ensure that their power plants, transmission lines and other infrastructure are operating with precise timing and synchronization. This is necessary to ensure that power is distributed evenly and efficiently across the grid. Similarly, railway operators must ensure that their trains are running on time and that all switches, signals and other safety features are correctly timed and synchronized. If any of these elements are not functioning correctly, it can cause massive delays and disruptions in service.
Another challenge of timing and synchronization for power utilities and railways is the need to manage the wide variety of systems and components that are used to provide services. Power utilities must manage the electrical grid, which consists of power plants, transmission lines, substations, and other equipment. Railway operators must coordinate the network of tracks, switches, signals. and other safety systems. To ensure that all of these elements are working correctly and in sync, power utilities and railway operators must have a comprehensive system for monitoring and managing the timing and synchronization of these components.
Finally, power utilities and railway operators must also account for the various external factors that can affect the timing and synchronization of their operations. For example, power utilities must take into account changes in the weather, which can affect the performance of power plants. Railway operators must also consider the impact of traffic, construction, and other external factors on their operations. In addition, power utilities and railway operators must also be prepared to respond to emergencies and other unexpected events that can disrupt their systems.
In this webinar presented by Jörg Urban from Oscilloquartz, he discusses together with other subject matter experts the most applicable synchronization solutions for power utilities, transportation companies and financial institutions. Together with a Canadian power utility and Swiss transport operator they'll share the best practices for future-proof assured timing and the best available solution for synchronization innovation in the market today.
There will also be a short demonstration at the end of the webinar of how GNSS-delivered synchronization can be assured. Hit the Play button to watch the webinar
