As the peak of summer approaches and temperatures continue to rise, the power grid faces increasing pressure under extreme heat conditions. In response, State Grid Zhongwei Power Supply Company has launched a comprehensive infrared temperature monitoring initiative for its transmission lines. By integrating equipment maintenance, defect resolution, and enhanced operational safeguards, the company is taking coordinated action to ensure the reliability of the power grid during high-temperature periods.
Building on routine line inspections, the company has implemented infrared thermographic monitoring, complemented by thermal imaging from drones, to proactively detect potential overheating issues in power equipment. For lines carrying heavier loads, detailed infrared monitoring plans have been put in place, with a focus on inspecting cable joints and other critical connection points for signs of excessive heat or poor contact. This enables comprehensive diagnostics to identify and address hidden equipment risks at an early stage.
During inspection and temperature monitoring activities, operations and maintenance personnel document key equipment conditions and any abnormalities in detail. These findings are thoroughly analyzed to support targeted defect resolution based on real-time conditions, ensuring the safe and stable operation of transmission lines and associated equipment.
Looking ahead, the company will continue to strengthen inspection and maintenance efforts across all transmission assets. It will optimize power grid operations and scheduling to guarantee a safe and reliable electricity supply during the summer peak, helping ensure a cool and comfortable season for users throughout its service area.
