Background and Significance In recent years, with the continuous growth in demand for renewable energy and the challenges faced by solar and wind power, such as weather dependence and intermittent output, a little-known but potentially huge technology—osmotic energy systems (also known as "salinity gradient energy" or "blue energy")—is regaining attention. This technology utilizes the salinity gradient between freshwater and seawater or high-salinity water flows to continuously and stably generate electricity through a semi-permeable membrane and pressure difference. Unlike solar and wind power, a key advantage of osmotic energy is that it is not limited by weather or sunlight like wind or sunlight, but can operate "day and night," continuously generating power at locations where freshwater flows into the ocean or where high-salinity and low-salinity water come into contact. Technical Mechanism Analysis Osmotic energy systems mainly have two technical pathways: ◥ Pressure-Retarded Osmosis (PRO): Freshwater migrates through a semi-permeable membrane to the saline (or high-concentration solution) side, increasing the pressure on that side. This pressure is used to drive turbines or similar devices to generate electricity. ◥ Reverse Electrodialysis (RED): An ion flow is generated between brine and freshwater through a specialized cation/anion exchange membrane, and this ion flow is converted into an electric current. In practical engineering, the performance of the semi-permeable membrane (selectivity, flux, durability) is a key factor limiting the commercialization of osmotic power generation systems. Latest Developments ● An osmotic power plant in Fukuoka, Japan, was completed and put into operation in 2025, generating approximately 880,000 kWh of electricity annually, enough to power about 220 homes. This facility is considered the second continuously operating power generation unit of its kind globally. ● The French company Sweetch Energy has developed next-generation nanofilm technology, claiming in its technical report that it can increase the power density of membrane modules to a commercially viable level. Key Technical Parameters (Illustrated) Item Current Typical Value/Range Description Membrane Power Density ≈ 1–2 W/m² (Early Prototype) General Level in Design Phase Global Potential Energy ≈ 1,600 TWh–1,700 TWh/year Theoretical Estimate Annual Power Generation (Japan Project) ≈ 0.88 GWh/year Actual Operating Data Technological and Engineering Advantages ● Continuous and Stable Output: Unlike wind/solar power, which is affected by climate, the freshwater and brine mixture can operate stably around the clock. ● Low Carbon and Environmentally Friendly: No fuel consumption, almost no greenhouse gas emissions. ● Widely Distributed Potentially: Resource availability is available in multiple estuaries, coastlines, and salt lakes worldwide. Current Challenges ● High Membrane Material Cost and Low Efficiency: There is currently a trade-off between...

Edge computing processes data at on-site nodes, providing low-latency, highly reliable data channels for high-frequency control and intelligent optimization. This paper examines the technical implementation and system architecture of edge computing in real-time control, predictive maintenance, and process optimization, focusing on PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and their analog modules (such as the GE IC693ALG221). 1. Introduction Traditional industrial automation relies on centralized PLC and SCADA systems, but these systems face bottlenecks in large-scale data acquisition, complex algorithm computation, and real-time closed-loop control: Communication latency: Centralized control systems have limited capabilities for high-speed sampling and feedback processing.

This is particularly important for high-speed production lines with control algorithm execution cycles of less than 50ms. 2.3 Industrial-Grade Anti-Interference Capability The IC693ALG221 features industrial-grade EMI immunity, ensuring signal stability in environments with strong electromagnetic interference. This ensures the accuracy of sensor data processed by edge nodes, providing trusted input for AI reasoning and control decisions. 3.
