IS215UCVEM09B integrated circuit board

Functional Overview
The IS215UCVEM09B is a 24-channel discrete (digital) input module in the GE Mark VIe control system. Its primary function is to collect discrete signals (contact open/close signals) generated by field devices such as sensors,
 switches, and relays, convert them into digital signals that can be recognized and processed by the PLC or control system CPU,
and transmit the processed data to the GE Speedtronic turbine control system or other control equipment, enabling automated control and monitoring.

The growing demand for energy efficiency and the need for transparent energy consumption mechanisms are driving the rapid growth in demand for smart grids in the ASEAN market. Additionally, there is an increasing focus on reducing transmission and distribution losses throughout the supply chain to reduce power outages.

In ASEAN, the increasing share of renewable energy in the energy mix may lead to congestion and complexity within the grid, so smart grids using transmission and distribution automation software, demand response technology and advanced metering infrastructure will alleviate the above problems.

According to the report, “Consumer energy management is becoming one of the important technologies in the ASEAN smart grid market. Consumers in residential households, commercial end-users, and manufacturing

From the perspective of end users, the smart grid market is mainly divided into generation , transmission, distribution and consumption. In 2019, the power distribution segment held the largest share in the market owing to the increasing demand for advanced metering infrastructure. However, the consumer category is expected to show the highest growth during the forecast period owing to the increasing demand for transparent billing mechanisms, depending on consumer usage timing during peak hours.

Trends in the ASEAN smart grid market vary from country to country. Singapore and Malaysia currently hold a significant market share in the ASEAN smart grid market due to continuous product innovation, expansion of automation technology in small-scale production, and favorable government support in terms of initiatives and regulations to promote renewable energy. In 2019, Singapore led the ASEAN smart grid market.

Thailand and Vietnam are expected to become among the most valuable markets for smart grid technology providers during the forecast period, owing to government policies. Moreover, these countries in the ASEAN region have broad market development space due to the increase in urban population and the spread of advanced technologies such as charging infrastructure for electric vehicles and vehicle-to-grid.

From the perspective of smart grid technology providers, General Electric, Itron Corporation, Autogrid Systems, ABB, Siemens , Schneider Electric, Enel X, Eaton Electric, S&C Electric, Tantalus Systems, Eaton Corporation, Landis + Gyr, Honeywell International, Wipro and others will become the leading smart grid technology provider in the ASEAN market.
