Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent inspection technology, and in particular to an intelligent inspection optimization system for power transmission lines. Background Art
[0002] Existing power transmission line inspections mainly rely on manual or simple automated equipment. These methods have problems such as low efficiency, incomplete detection, and significant environmental impact. Manual inspections are labor-intensive and easily interfered with by human factors, resulting in limited accuracy and consistency of detection results. With the expansion of the scale and complexity of transmission lines, traditional inspection methods have been unable to meet the needs of modern power systems for high efficiency and high safety. In addition, transmission line failures may cause large-scale power outages, resulting in huge economic losses and social impacts.
[0003] In recent years, the rapid development of drone technology, image recognition technology, big data analysis and artificial intelligence has brought new technical means to the field of transmission line inspection. The application of these technologies can significantly improve the automation level of inspection work, reduce the interference of human factors, and improve the coverage and accuracy of inspection. However, how to effectively integrate these technologies and build an intelligent and automated inspection system to achieve comprehensive and efficient monitoring and maintenance of transmission lines is still a technical challenge. In addition, with the access of new energy and the continuous expansion of the scale of the power grid, the operating environment of the transmission line has become more complex and changeable, which puts higher requirements on the inspection system.
[0004] In order to solve the above defects, a technical solution is now provided. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of low efficiency, insufficient accuracy and difficulty in coping with the expansion of power grid scale and complex environment in the existing power transmission line inspection method, and to propose a power transmission line intelligent inspection optimization system.
[0006] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:
[0007] A transmission line intelligent inspection and optimization system, comprising:
[0008] The drone inspection module is used to obtain images and data of power transmission lines through drone inspection. The specific steps are as follows:
[0009] Determine the inspection area and target transmission line, and plan the flight path and altitude of the drone based on the layout and characteristics of the transmission line;
[0010] Collect geographic information and weather conditions of the inspection area, evaluate flight conditions, and calibrate the sensors and cameras on the drone;
[0011] Navigate the drone according to the planned flight path and altitude, and adjust the flight speed of the drone so that the quality of the images and data collected by the sensors and cameras on the drone on the transmission line meets the standards;
[0012] The high-definition cameras and sensors carried by the drones are then used to collect images and data of the power transmission lines in real time. During the collection process, the cameras shoot from multiple angles to cover different parts of the lines.
[0013] The collected images and data are transmitted and stored in real time or periodically. After completing the inspection mission, the drone automatically returns to the take-off point or designated landing area.
[0014] An analysis module for automatically identifying abnormal conditions on the transmission line through image recognition technology;
[0015] A diagnostic module that performs in-depth analysis of the collected data to diagnose the health of the transmission lines and predict potential problems;
[0016] The decision support module is used to provide maintenance and repair suggestions based on the diagnosis results and assist in decision making.
[0017] Furthermore, the process of the drone inspection module adjusting the flight speed of the drone is as follows:
[0018] The optimal flight speed of the UAV is determined by performing a preset short-distance test flight test on the UAV, performing test flights at different speeds during the preset short-distance test flight test, and analyzing the image quality collected at each test flight speed. The image quality collected at different test flight speeds is comprehensively analyzed through quality evaluation parameters, which include:
[0019] Image sharpness: The clarity of edges and details in an image, measured by edge contrast;
[0020] Image resolution: The amount of detail that can be discerned in an image, expressed as the number of pixels;
[0021] Image noise: random variations in brightness or color in an image;
[0022] Dynamic range: The range of detail from the darkest to the brightest that an image can capture;
[0023] Motion blur: Objects in the image appear blurry because the drone moves too fast;
[0024] Assign scores of 1 to 50 to the above quality evaluation parameters respectively, calculate the sum of all quality evaluation parameter scores, and obtain a comprehensive score, which is recorded as the image quality evaluation value, and this image quality evaluation value is used as the quality standard for measuring the acquired images;
[0025] The image quality evaluation values obtained at different test flight speeds are sorted by size, and the top five image quality evaluation values are selected. Then, the obtained image quality evaluation values are corrected by external factors other than image quality, including inspection efficiency and battery life. The inspection efficiency and battery life are quantified in percentage to obtain the inspection efficiency value and battery life value respectively.
[0026] Then, the obtained image quality evaluation value, patrol efficiency value and endurance value are normalized and entered into the following formula: To obtain the modified evaluation value XPZ, where TZP, xx and xh are the map quality evaluation value, patrol efficiency value and endurance value respectively, and the final modified evaluation value XPZ is used as the analysis standard for measuring the optimal speed;
[0027] The revised evaluation values obtained by the test flight speeds corresponding to the first five image quality evaluation values are screened again according to their size, and the test flight speed with the largest revised evaluation value is selected as the optimal flight speed of the UAV for inspection flight.
[0028] Furthermore, the specific operation steps of the analysis module to automatically identify abnormal conditions on the transmission line through image recognition technology are as follows:
[0029] Perform pre-processing operations such as denoising, contrast enhancement and size standardization on the image data collected by the drone inspection module;
[0030] Extract features related to identifying abnormalities from the preprocessed image, including edges, textures, and colors;
[0031] The image is then segmented into multiple regions or objects to identify different components of the transmission line, including conductors, towers, and insulators;
[0032] Apply image recognition algorithms, including convolutional neural networks or support vector machines, to analyze images, identify anomalies, mark detected anomalies on the images, and generate reports;
[0033] Correlate image recognition results with geographic information system data to pinpoint the exact location of anomalies.
[0034] Furthermore, the specific operation steps of the diagnostic module for diagnosing the health status of the power transmission line and predicting potential problems are as follows:

[0039] Assess the severity and urgency of predicted problems and determine the priority of maintenance or repair. Specifically, collect problem indicators and conduct comprehensive analysis to obtain the severity and urgency of all predicted problems.
[0040] Sort the severity scores of all prediction problems by size, and prioritize prediction problems with large severity scores.
[0041] Finally, a detailed diagnostic report is generated, including health status assessment, failure prediction and maintenance recommendations.

[0045] The impact of the problem on the power load in the power supply area, including the affected load amount and load importance level. The load importance level is quantified by four digits: 2, 4, 6, and 8. The negative value is obtained by multiplying the affected load amount by the corresponding level number. This negative value is used as the standard for measuring the impact of the problem on the power load in the power supply area.
[0046] Importance of the power supply area to which the problem point belongs: Determine the severity of the impact of the fault based on the function and importance of the power supply area, including residential, commercial or industrial areas, and quantify it through a score of 1-10, which is recorded as the re-evaluation value;
[0047] Maintenance or repair costs required for problem points: The maintenance and repair costs required for different problem situations are measured by calculating the cost and recorded as the required cost. The higher the required cost, the higher the priority required.
[0048] Then, the obtained old evaluation value, negative value, re-evaluation value and required cost are marked as gp, fy, cp and sc respectively, and after normalization, they are entered into the following formula: To obtain the strict evaluation value YPZ, They are the preset weight coefficients of the old evaluation value, negative impact value, re-evaluation value and required cost respectively, and the obtained strict evaluation value YPZ is used to measure the severity and urgency of the prediction problem.
[0049] Furthermore, the decision support module provides maintenance and repair suggestions based on the diagnosis results, and the specific operation steps of assisting decision making are as follows:
[0050] Collect the health status data and predicted potential problems of the transmission lines provided by the diagnostic module, and integrate relevant information such as historical maintenance records, fault data, environmental monitoring data, etc.
[0051] Determine the priority of maintenance and repair work through the severity assessment value YPZ based on the assessment of the severity and urgency of the predicted problems;

[0054] Generate multiple decision-making plans, including recommended action plans, expected effects and possible risks, and prioritize multiple decision-making plans;
[0055] The priority-screened and sorted plans are uploaded to the management or decision-making committee for approval. After approval, the plan with the highest priority is implemented, and alternative plans are prepared for implementation. The implementation results and experience are fed back to the decision support module to form a cycle of continuous improvement.
[0056] Furthermore, the specific operation steps of the decision support module for priority screening of multiple decision solutions are as follows:
[0057] First, the goal of decision support is determined according to user needs, including minimizing costs, maximizing power supply reliability, or minimizing maintenance time;
[0058] Based on the diagnostic results and existing data, multiple decision-making options are generated using different assumptions and constraints, and detailed action plans are developed for each option, including the required resources, timetable and implementation steps;
[0059] Predict the expected effects of each solution, including reduced failure rate, shortened power supply restoration time and cost savings, assess the risks and uncertainties that each solution may face, conduct a cost-benefit analysis for each solution, and compare the costs and expected benefits of the solutions;
[0060] According to the preset evaluation criteria, including cost-effectiveness ratio, risk level and implementation difficulty, the schemes are ranked, the importance of different evaluation criteria is determined, and then weights are assigned to each indicator. Each scheme is comprehensively scored using the weighted scoring method;
[0061] Conduct sensitivity analysis on key parameters, evaluate the robustness of the solutions under different conditions, compare the scoring results of each solution, and identify the advantages and disadvantages of each solution;
[0062] Upload the program evaluation results to the decision makers, collect their feedback and suggestions, and adjust and optimize the program based on their feedback;
[0063] Taking all factors into consideration, including the decision maker's preferences, the options are finally prioritized. In addition to the highest priority option, one or two additional alternative options are developed to deal with unexpected situations.
[0064] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0065] The present invention significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of power transmission line inspection by integrating UAV inspection module, analysis module, diagnosis module and decision support module.
