Build an efficient, interconnected, secure and reliable power communication network with IPv6+ technology

In recent years, the total electricity consumption of the country has been increasing year by year. Under the "dual carbon goals", how to build a new type of power system that is clean, low-carbon, safe and controllable, flexible and efficient, intelligent and friendly, and open and interactive has become an important direction for the digital transformation and development of State Grid.

As a key sector concerning the national economy and people's livelihood, the digital transformation of the power industry is based on the accurate collection, efficient transmission and secure and reliable utilization of data, and cannot do without the strong support of infrastructure such as information networks. With the accelerated advancement of power grid digitalization and the wide application of emerging technologies such as "cloud, big data, the Internet of Things, mobile Internet, artificial intelligence, blockchain and edge computing", the traditional IPv4 network can no longer meet the growing network demands and complex application scenarios. The upgrade and transformation to IPv6 is extremely urgent.

As the main construction unit of the power communication network in Hubei Province, State Grid Hubei Electric Power Co., LTD. Information and Communication Company (hereinafter referred to as "State Grid Hubei Information and Communication Company") has joined hands with H3C Group, a subsidiary of Tsinghua Unigroup, to innovatively introduce IPv6+ technology, jointly formulate the SDN+SRv6 technology evolution plan, promote the optimization and upgrading of the network architecture, and support the continuous innovation of power business.
