State Grid Jiyuan Power Supply Company Strengthens Wildfire Prevention with Multiple Measures

Drones Deployed for Power Line Inspections in Mountainous Areas

Recently, the State Grid Jiyuan Power Supply Company deployed professionals to inspect and clear power corridors along the 220kV Huangjing Line, 110kV Xiangfu Line, 10kV Zhengping Line, and Tangshan Line in deep mountainous areas. They removed potential hazards to ensure the safe and stable operation of the power grid.

Jiyuan features vast mountainous and hilly regions, where power transmission and distribution lines predominantly pass through densely vegetated areas. With rising temperatures, dry weather, and increased spring farming activities, the risk of fire incidents caused by irregular fire use has grown, posing challenges to grid safety.

By integrating drone surveillance with manual inspections, the State Grid Jiyuan Power Supply Company conducted thorough inspections of transmission and distribution lines in mountainous areas. Hazards such as overgrown vegetation, flammable debris, and illegally planted trees were systematically removed or trimmed to maintain secure and unobstructed power corridors.

Recognizing that electrical issues such as leakage, short circuits, overloads, sparks, and excessive arc temperatures can cause fires, the company conducted targeted inspections of power facilities in fire-prone areas. Professionals carried out thorough inspections to detect potential hazards in areas such as wire insulation, power line load capacity, and conductor contact surfaces. These measures effectively eliminated risks, enhancing the scientific and precise nature of fire prevention.

Additionally, the State Grid Jiyuan Power Supply Company deployed personnel to educate rural communities on electrical facility protection. They also used SMS and WeChat to raise awareness about electricity-related wildfire prevention. Furthermore, they reminded the public to practice fire safety and actively participate in prevention and monitoring efforts.

These comprehensive efforts ensure the safe operation of the power grid and a reliable power supply for local communities.
