Huawei has partnered with Thailand’s Provincial Electricity Authority to introduce a next-generation intelligent substation solution, marking a significant step in the country’s efforts to modernise its power infrastructure and enhance grid stability.

The deployment brings advanced digital technologies into substation operations, enabling higher efficiency, improved safety and more reliable electricity distribution across Thailand’s rapidly growing energy network.

The solution integrates intelligent electronic devices, real-time monitoring systems and high-speed communications to support predictive maintenance and faster fault detection.

By digitising core substation functions, the system reduces manual intervention and enhances operational accuracy, helping the Provincial Electricity Authority meet rising electricity demand while maintaining service quality.

Officials involved in the project said the intelligent substation framework is designed to support Thailand’s broader transition toward smart grids and renewable energy integration.

The technology allows substations to manage increasingly complex power flows, including those generated by distributed and renewable energy sources, while improving resilience against outages.

The collaboration reflects Thailand’s policy focus on strengthening critical infrastructure through advanced technology partnerships and aligns with national goals to improve energy security and efficiency.

For Huawei, the project underscores its continued engagement in Thailand’s digital and energy transformation, providing solutions tailored to local operational and regulatory requirements.

As the intelligent substation solution is rolled out, the Provincial Electricity Authority is expected to apply the model to future upgrades, supporting a more flexible, data-driven and sustainable power system capable of meeting the country’s long-term economic and environmental objectives.
