Science and technology anti ice and power protection, smart robot dogs and drones are on the battlef

Mondo Technology Updated on 2024-02-07

On the morning of February 5, in the 500 thousand volt Yuxian substation in Caidian District, Wuhan, a gray "robot dog" inspected the icing of power equipment in the snow. Recently, the ice and snow weather has brought a test to the power supply, and the State Grid Hubei Electric Power has adopted a series of high-tech means such as robot dogs and drones to resist ice and protect electricity, and pay close attention to the operation of equipment 24 hours a day.

The smart robot dog is inspecting the substation.

The substation with a voltage level of 500 kV is an important "transfer point" of electric energy in Hubei and the key to regulating the operation mode of the power grid. Early in the morning of February 5, a new quadruped robot "robot dog" appeared in the 500 thousand volt Yuxian substation in Caidian District, Wuhan City, and in less than half an hour, the automatic inspection of more than 400 inspection points was completed, and 5 general precautions were found to remind the substation duty personnel to pay attention to various abnormal conditions.

The reporter noticed that the latest scientific and technological inspection equipment introduced by the State Grid Hubei Ultra High Voltage Company resembles a puppy, equipped with 12 joints, and four legs can pass various obstacles such as steps and stairs to walk normally in the equipment area.

Zhang Fang, director of Yuxian substation, told reporters that the traditional substation mainly relies on manual inspection, and the inspectors have to copy the instrument data and measure the temperature of the equipment, etc., and the operation and maintenance efficiency is not high. The robot dog is light in weight, compact and compact, and can reach the position and area that traditional inspection robots cannot reach, and it is equipped with an intelligent fusion sensor that can collect sound, light and electrical signals in the equipment area, and intelligently evaluate the operation status of the equipment through artificial intelligence AI algorithm technology, so as to achieve all-weather, three-dimensional, and full-coverage inspection.

In this ice and snow weather, the robot dog found a slight heating phenomenon of the 35 thousand volt reactor casing in time. Zhang Fang introduced that in the environment where the outdoor equipment is covered with ice and snow, the intelligent inspection of the "robot dog" provides timely warnings for the substation duty personnel and ensures the normal operation of the equipment.

Hubei Electric Power uses drones to remove the ice from transmission cables.

It is reported that since the peak winter, State Grid Hubei Electric Power has also applied ice viewing elves, laser cannon elimination, drone de-icing and other devices to eliminate equipment defects in a timely manner and ensure the safety of the power grid.
