1. Power blackout prevention, fault recording and event logging
In power substation networks, precise timekeeping allows the system to keep time-stamped event logs that are accurate to the nanosecond level. This prevents power blackouts by helping operators accurately identify problems and perform precise failure analysis
2. Complete power automation network with the IEEE 1588 protocol
In order to build a completely IEEE 1588v2-compliant network, the Ethernet switches, end devices, and industrial computers must all support IEEE 1588v2. IEEE 1588v2-complaint computers are still rare in the current market, but by deploying them now system operators can create a system where the switches, IEDs, and computers all work seamlessly together for highly accurate time synchronization
