Trends and challenges of substation O&M and inspection
Substations are crucial energy transmission nodes in power grids, responsible for power production, operation, and control. To ensure safe, reliable, and efficient operation, preventive maintenance inspections are conducted on substation devices to monitor their running status, detect problems, and address defects promptly. With economic development placing higher demands on power grid security, the grid's scale continues to expand, and new power technologies bring new challenges to substation operation and inspection.
Advancements in big data, cloud computing, AI, 5G communications, information security, and IoT offer technical assistance in building intelligent substations. Driven by digital technologies, power transformation services utilize data resources to enhance device status control, device management, and team operations, hastening the arrival of new intelligent production modes.

Applications
Substation Security
• Unauthorized vehicles are prohibited from entering the substation without permission.
• Intelligently identify personnel violations, including failure to wear proper protective gear and smoking within the station.
• Report environmental hazards such as fires, smoke, and floating objects on campuses in a timely manner to prevent accidents.
Intelligent Inspection
• More efficient inspection: Automatic inspection replaces manual inspection. An entire station can be inspected within 20 minutes.
• Reduced workload: Intelligent meter reading replaces manual meter reading. AI identifies equipment defects and generates inspection reports with a single click.
Convergent Communication
• Multi-terminal video synergy: Panoramic visualization of on-site operations effectively guides and improves the quality of on-site operations.
• One-click expert access: Remote access to experts at any time facilitates communication and improves decision-making efficiency.
