High-Performance, Scalable Servers for Automating the Electric Substation

The electric power industry is accelerating efforts to modernize critical power grid elements. The goal is to supply flexible power distribution stations with enhanced protection capabilities and fast ethernet response at the primary and secondary substation levels that are IEC 61850-3 compliant. To address this market need, Crystal Group developed the Energy Series (ES) family of servers and embedded computers. These compact, server-class, hyperconverged systems consolidate the work of multiple, discrete hardware solutions. They are equipped with essential features, like IEC 61850-3 surge suppression, active or passive cooling, auto failover, and zero-trust security. These servers are ideal for new applications that are at the forefront of substation modernization.
