Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention specifically relates to a method for improving a visual early warning function. Background Art

[0002] This proposal addresses the technical area of smart grid condition monitoring and fault warning technology, specifically involving three core areas: drone-based power inspections, multi-physics coupling analysis, and power equipment condition assessment. This area integrates power system automation, IoT sensing technology, artificial intelligence algorithms, and high-precision sensor technology. It aims to enhance real-time monitoring of power equipment operating conditions through intelligent means, ensuring safe and stable grid operation. In the power system sector, traditional manual inspections suffer from low efficiency, high risk, and intermittent data collection. With the development of technologies such as ultra-high voltage transmission and the integration of renewable energy, the electromagnetic environment for power equipment has significantly increased in complexity, creating an increasingly urgent need for early warning of potential hazards such as partial discharge and insulation degradation. In recent years, drones, due to their flexible maneuverability and high-resolution data acquisition capabilities, have become a crucial tool for power inspections. However, existing technologies still face three major bottlenecks: spatial limitations: traditional two-dimensional electric field analysis cannot accurately reflect the field strength distortion characteristics in complex three-dimensional space; temporal lag: periodic inspections struggle to capture sudden discharges; and single data dimensions: single sensor data cannot fully characterize the multi-physics coupling state of equipment.

[0003] In summary, this application proposes a method for improving visual warning functions to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
