Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power station operation and maintenance, and particularly designs an operation and maintenance management method and system for a smart power station. Background Art
[0002] The operation and maintenance management of traditional substations is achieved through manual inspections. Maintenance personnel regularly conduct on-site inspections of substations, check the equipment status, and record data.

In addition, there are certain limitations in the accuracy of fault diagnosis using traditional methods. Often, only the surface symptoms of faults can be detected, and it is difficult to accurately diagnose some early-stage and highly concealed faults. Summary of the Invention
