Technology-Empowered Autumn Inspection Safeguards Reliable Power Supply

In September, Shaanxi’s power grids undergo the annual autumn inspection—a comprehensive "health check" carried out across the province. Unlike previous years, intelligent applications have been deeply integrated into this year’s inspection.

State Grid Shaanxi Electric Power Company has prioritized the use of advanced equipment, including intelligent grounding devices, drones with auxiliary mini-robots, ultra-high-precision infrared thermal imagers, and ultrasonic partial discharge detectors, to conduct in-depth inspections of distribution line insulation. These measures enable early detection of hidden problems and help prevent potential hazards.

During this year’s inspection, the company has also expanded the use of live detection technologies such as infrared thermal imagers, along with mobile inspection terminals and a safety management system. These innovations have greatly enhanced equipment operation and maintenance, improved management efficiency, and strengthened digital capabilities.
