Substation operation and maintenance solution

Substation operation and maintenance solution

Business Challenge

Hub safety pressure is highSubstation equipment is dense and the voltage level is high. Manual inspection poses risks of electric shock and misoperation, and extreme environmental operations are extremely difficult.

Heavy operation and maintenance tasksThere are many types of equipment, and the inspection items are complex. Meter, temperature, partial discharge, switch status, etc. rely on manual labor, which is inefficient and prone to missed inspections.

Outstanding operational risksThe traditional switching operation process is cumbersome and relies on on-site personnel, which is prone to human errors and affects power supply safety.

Airspace and environmental risksDrone black flying and illegal intrusion may interfere with station equipment, lacking 24-hour low altitude safety prevention and control measures.

Data and decision-making lagThe monitoring data is scattered and the system is isolated, making it impossible to achieve centralized analysis, intelligent warning, and remote control.

Solution Introduction Around the core hub of the substation, build four major platforms: intelligent inspection, online monitoring, auxiliary control, and low altitude safety, deeply integrating robots, drones AI、 Digital twin technology enables remote inspection to replace manual labor and one click sequential control to replace traditional operations.

Remote intelligent inspectionIntegrate outdoor wheeled robots, indoor rail mounted/wheeled robots, drones, fixed cameras, voiceprint/infrared devices to achieve automatic inspection of all station equipment, meter reading, infrared temperature measurement, partial discharge and abnormal sound monitoring; Build a virtual substation based on digital twins, supporting remote viewing, status verification, and intelligent analysis.

Intelligent online monitoringDeploy gas photoacoustic spectroscopy monitoring, voiceprint monitoring, passive wireless thermal imaging, micro meteorology, water immersion and other devices in transformer oil to sense equipment status in real time and provide early warning of latent defects.

Intelligent auxiliary control and operationBy operating the robot in the switch room, switch cabinet switching operation, emergency disconnection, and protection device inspection can be achieved; Integrate environmental, security, fire protection, and lighting equipment to achieve intelligent control of main and auxiliary systems.

Low altitude safety controlAdopting unmanned aerial vehicle detection, navigation deception, and active defense equipment, it automatically identifies black flights, drives away and makes emergency landings within 24 hours to ensure the safety of the substation airspace.
