State Grid Hubei Information & Telecommunication Company Builds Smart Meteorological Disaster Prevention Barrier, Fortifying the Power Grid’s Safety Defense Line

The Meteorological Data Service Center of State Grid Hubei Electric Power Co., Ltd. Information & Telecommunication Company utilizes its intelligent comprehensive grid forecast system and multi-source data fusion algorithms to accurately forecast areas prone to short-term heavy rainfall, strong wind trends, and lightning activity patterns. The Center has issued a total of 35 severe convective weather warnings, 21 high wind warnings, 14 lightning warnings, and 25 rainstorm warnings. This capability provides essential data support for power grid emergency command and operational dispatch, establishing an intelligent system for meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation.

Utilizing the new-generation Emergency Command System, the Meteorological Data Service Center disseminates public warnings and provides analyses of the impact of rainstorms and severe convection on power grid equipment. The Center has issued 101 disaster warnings and 4 emergency notifications, facilitating the precise dispatch of directives for targeted inspections, specialized maintenance, and emergency repairs. Furthermore, through the Production Control Platform, the Center distributes specialized lightning and typhoon warning reports and visualization layer services, guiding grassroots units in conducting targeted inspections. These combined efforts have resulted in a 40% improvement in inspection response efficiency, a 35% increase in the accuracy of emergency repair work orders, and a significant reduction in the failure rate of key transmission lines.
