Drone "pilot" in mountainous areas: help power grid intelligent inspection and operation and maintenance

After 286 days, he led the team to fly a total of 21,600 kilometers, covering more than 3,200 kilometers of distribution network lines, and found out the specific location of more than 35,000 power towers of Guangdong Yunfu Luoding Power Supply Bureau of China Southern Power Grid. He is Lan Yuxin, and he is currently the leader of the distribution network intelligent operation team of the production planning department of Luoding Power Supply Bureau. In 2020, the bureau became the first county bureau in Guangdong to independently complete the full coverage of automatic inspection of distribution network lines.

In the face of the difficulty of line inspection, Lan Yuxin led the team to carefully study the UAV line inspection and operation and maintenance technology in mountainous and hilly areas, focusing on overcoming the intelligent operation and maintenance technology of the mountain power grid.

In recent years, the Lan Yuxin team has greatly improved the accuracy and efficiency of power grid operation and maintenance through research and breakthroughs in UAV power inspection technology. At present, Lan Yuxin has begun to lead the team to self-learn AI technology, so that drones can automatically and quickly find and report line faults and defects during the inspection process. Next, Lan Yuxin's team hopes to explore the application of a new generation of UAVs, further carry out intelligent identification and visual control of hidden dangers, and improve the digital level of the power grid.
