Various hazards such as construction-related external damage, lightning strikes, pollution flashovers, line vibration, and ice accumulation persistently threaten the safe and stable operation of overhead transmission lines, imposing stricter standards on their disaster resistance and risk resilience. Additionally, overhead transmission lines are often laid in remote, rugged, and complex terrain. Traditional manual inspection methods suffer from incomplete coverage and low efficiency. Furthermore, data collected by individual sensors operates in isolation without interconnection, preventing comprehensive, panoramic monitoring and control of the overall operational status of the line.
Is there a new device capable of comprehensive, real-time monitoring of transmission lines? Dingxin Smart Technology has introduced the Transmission Line Corridor Multi-Hazard Real-Time Monitoring and External Damage Prevention Safety Early Warning Device, also known as the Transmission Line Integrated Terminal (Standard Type), model DX-WPS100-SP3. This integrated device combines multi-parameter, multi-dimensional sensor data collection with AI-powered comprehensive analysis, along with hardware equipment and software management systems. This integrated solution enables digital monitoring of transmission line conductors, surrounding environments, and corridors.
Functionally, it serves as an all-purpose guardian, featuring extensive interfaces and integrating AI with edge computing technology. This enables comprehensive monitoring, hazard identification, and early warning for data including line video, imagery, wildfires, anti-external damage, ice accumulation, micro-meteorology, tower inclination, clamp temperature, sagging, bolt loosening, and stress. Via 4G/5G/WiFi/OPGW communication channels, this data is rapidly and accurately transmitted to the Holographic Interconnected Monitoring Center. This enables truly comprehensive, visual, and intelligent monitoring of both the high-voltage transmission lines themselves and their surrounding corridors, making the operational status of transmission lines immediately apparent. It's as if the entire transmission network has been integrated into the "intelligent brain" of the monitoring center.
Equipped with a 360° horizontal and ±90° vertical pan-tilt-zoom camera, the terminal provides comprehensive, blind-spot-free monitoring of power transmission lines. It enables clear observation of the lines and surrounding environment from any direction or angle, delivering high-definition, three-dimensional panoramic visibility.
Additionally, the real-time monitoring and external damage prevention warning device for transmission line corridors features ultra-long-range multi-point visibility with 40x zoom (optional), up to 255 preset positions, and 16 patrol routes. This combines the capabilities of high-powered telescopes with precision positioning systems, enabling effortless focusing on distant transmission lines and achieving unprecedented accuracy in long-distance line monitoring. By configuring multiple preset positions and patrol routes, the terminal can automatically inspect lines and diagnose hazards along predefined paths.
Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. The equipment's performance in real-world applications fully demonstrates its formidable capabilities. In a mountainous transmission line project, the complex terrain with undulating peaks and volatile weather frequently exposed the lines to lightning strike risks. Since installing the real-time monitoring system for multiple hazards along transmission line corridors and the external damage prevention safety early warning device, the situation has significantly improved. Following a heavy rainstorm, the terminal's micro-meteorological monitoring and tower tilt monitoring units simultaneously activated, promptly detecting tower inclination caused by a landslide and abnormal changes in surrounding micro-meteorological conditions. Dingxin Smart Technology's AI intelligent analysis system swiftly assessed the situation and issued an alert. Upon receiving the warning, maintenance personnel immediately rushed to the site for intervention, successfully preventing a large-scale power outage that could have resulted from tower collapse.
In areas experiencing rapid urban development, frequent construction activities have led to an increasing risk of external damage to power transmission lines. A major transmission line in a certain city is surrounded by multiple construction sites. In the past, improper operation of equipment such as cranes and excavators during construction often caused external damage to the line, severely disrupting the city's power supply. Following the installation of real-time monitoring and anti-external damage safety warning devices along the transmission line corridor, its laser anti-external damage and AI video hazard recognition functions proved crucial. When construction equipment approached within the safety distance of the transmission line, the terminal immediately issued an alarm, alerting construction personnel to safety precautions while simultaneously transmitting real-time footage of the site to operations and maintenance staff. This approach successfully prevented multiple potential external damage incidents.
