Neoway’s G7A Module Passes Single Beidou Testing, Advances Electric Power Industry Localization

Recently, Neoway Technology's GNSS module, G7A, has successfully passed the China Electric Power Research Institute's (CEPRI) single Beidou testing. The product fully meets the standards outlined in "BD420011-2015 General Specification for Beidou/Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Positioning Equipment", "Q/GDW1299-2022 Technical and Testing Specifications for Electric Power Beidou Timing and Positioning Modules", and the "Electric Power Single Beidou Test Plan". This achievement means the G7A module can quickly lock onto signals and provide precise positioning in complex urban environments or remote, challenging natural areas, fulfilling the requirements of various electric power industry scenarios.

CEPRI, a key research institute under the State Grid Corporation of China, is recognized for its robust background in the electric power sector and multidisciplinary research capabilities. The G7A module's successful testing by CEPRI signifies that it meets high standards for Beidou-based applications in the electric power sector. This milestone accelerates the localization and broad application of Beidou technology in the electric power industry. With its outstanding performance and reliability, the G7A module supports stable and efficient task completion for clients, bolsters the independence, safety, and reliability of China's navigation applications, and promotes the integration of the Beidou system into the electric power industry. This contributes to technological progress and domestic innovation within the sector.

A notice from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s General Office, titled "On the Selection of Pilot Cities for Large-Scale Beidou Applications in Industry and Information Technology", highlights that "the Beidou system is a globally operated satellite navigation system independently built and managed by China. Currently, Beidou's large-scale applications are in a critical phase of marketization, industrialization, and international development. Efforts should continue to enhance product quality, widely promote Beidou applications, foster a robust industry ecosystem, and support Beidou's integration across various industries."

Driven by supportive policies and the advancement of new electricity systems featuring coordinated interaction among generation, grid, load, and storage, the scale of control object collection is expanding, and the frequency of coordination is increasing. This places higher demands on the timeliness of data collection, transmission, storage, and utilization. Beidou technology effectively addresses these challenges, offering high-precision positioning, accurate timing, unified space-time benchmarks, controlled safe operations, disaster awareness, and short message communication. This facilitates the digital transformation of the grid, enhancing reliability, capacity, and disaster response capabilities, and serving as a powerful engine for smart grid development. Provinces such as Hebei, Shandong, and Jiangsu have already established comprehensive Beidou application demonstration zones for the electric power sector, achieving rapid fault location on transmission and distribution lines, significantly improving disaster inspection efficiency, and enhancing the accuracy of electricity information collection.

Neoway Technology remains committed to closely monitoring the development and construction of the Beidou system, increasing innovation and research efforts, and actively participating in the application of Beidou technology across electricity generation, transmission, transformation, distribution, and consumption. This will accelerate the intelligent transformation and digital upgrade of the electric power industry, fostering new production models and digital growth within the grid sector.
