Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power grid construction management and control, and in particular to a power grid construction management and control method based on three-dimensional digital twins. Background Art

[0002] A 3D digital twin is a virtualized, three-dimensional, dynamic model of a physical entity or system. Through real-time data synchronization, simulation analysis, and intelligent decision support, it enables precise mapping and dynamic interaction with the physical world. At its core, it uses sensors, the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and artificial intelligence (AI) to map the geometry, operational status, and environmental data of physical objects into a digital space in real time.

[0003] Power grid construction management and control mainly ensures the safety, efficiency and compliance of the construction process through systematic means, covering the entire life cycle of design, construction and acceptance, and focusing on solving resource coordination, risk prevention and control, and quality control in complex environments.

[0004] The existing power grid construction management and control system has the following major problems: 1. Design conflict detection is delayed. Traditional 2D drawings make it difficult to detect pipeline collisions and equipment installation conflicts, leading to on-site rework. 2. Progress management is extensive, relying on manual data entry, making it difficult to track construction progress in real time. 3. Resource scheduling is inefficient. The allocation of machinery, personnel, and materials relies on experience, which is prone to idleness or shortages. 4. Safety hazards are difficult to predict, and risk assessment in complex environments is insufficient.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, a power grid construction management and control method based on three-dimensional digital twins is proposed. By integrating high-precision three-dimensional models with real-time data, it can realize the digital reproduction of all elements of the construction scene, such as equipment status, personnel location, and environmental parameters, and support transparent management of the entire life cycle from design to acceptance. It can combine physical engines with AI algorithms for real-time simulation and deduction, dynamically simulate construction processes, mechanical paths, and risk scenarios, detect conflicts in advance, and generate optimization plans. It can realize intelligent scheduling of resources in advance, achieve precise allocation of personnel, machinery, and materials, and reduce idleness and waste. By processing sensor data such as wind speed and inclination through edge computing nodes, it can be combined with digital twins to simulate extreme working conditions such as strong winds and heavy rains, trigger millisecond-level warnings, and improve the safety of the construction process. Through point cloud scanning and image recognition technology, it can realize automatic comparison between construction results and design models, avoid manual acceptance omissions, resolve design conflicts in advance, and correct construction errors in real time, significantly reducing rework costs.

Risk warning: Use a three-dimensional digital twin model to simulate the impact of extreme weather (such as wind speeds >10m / s) on high-altitude operations and trigger stop-work orders in advance.

[0011] S4, the dynamic risk management stage, uses the dynamic management and control module to analyze construction data in real time, generate progress optimization suggestions, risk warnings, and resource allocation instructions and decision-making support information, and send the decision-making support information to the on-site mobile terminal;

[0012] S5, the execution feedback stage, manually confirms the final execution decision with reference to the decision-making auxiliary information, feeds back the final execution decision to the three-dimensional model through the visual interactive platform, updates the twin model, and forms a closed loop of "three-dimensional digital twin model construction-construction rehearsal analysis-decision-execution-model update".

[0013] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.

[0014] Furthermore, the multi-source data acquisition module collects construction environment, equipment status and personnel behavior data through Internet of Things sensors (such as crane inclination sensors, GPS positioning), drone inspections, and construction site cameras.

[0015] Furthermore, the construction simulation module combines a physical engine with an AI algorithm to simulate construction processes, mechanical motion paths, and potential conflicts.

[0016] Furthermore, the visual interaction platform includes an on-site mobile terminal and a management and control host.

[0019] Furthermore, the IoT sensors include industrial sensors (such as tilt sensors for cranes and tension machine data) and environmental sensors (such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed sensors).

The following paragraphs describe the present invention in more detail by way of example. The advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description and claims.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used in this specification of the present invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0032] As the instruction manual Figure 1-2 As shown;

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] Transmission line construction;

[0035] S1, the 3D digital twin model construction phase, builds a 3D model of the tower, conductors, and grounding devices based on BIM, overlays GIS geographic data to generate a 3D digital twin model of the construction scene, and sets construction constraints such as a maximum crane lifting weight of 8 tons and a safe operating radius of 15 meters;

[0036] S2, the dynamic mapping stage of the construction process, uses edge computing nodes to process data from multi-source data acquisition modules in real time, and uses point cloud scanning and image recognition technology to compare the deviation between the actual construction site and the design model site;

[0037] S3, optimizes construction management and control decisions. The tower assembly process is simulated on the digital twin platform. The construction simulation module detects collision risks between the crane path and surrounding buildings, optimizing construction management and control decisions. This includes: a. optimizing the construction progress, such as adjusting the crane station position to another coordinate; b. optimizing resource scheduling, combining digital twin simulation results to optimize machinery paths and material distribution plans; c. risk warning, simulating extreme weather conditions through a 3D digital twin model. For example, if a wind speed >10m / s affects high-altitude operations, a stoppage order is triggered in advance.

[0038] S4, the dynamic risk control stage. When the wind speed sensor in the risk warning module detects an instantaneous wind speed of 12 m / s, the dynamic control module triggers an early warning, suspends the high-altitude work instructions, and dispatches construction resources to transfer personnel to the ground cable laying task.

[0039] S5, the execution feedback stage, manually confirms the final execution decision with reference to the decision-making auxiliary information, feeds back the final execution decision to the three-dimensional model through the visual interactive platform, updates the twin model, and forms a closed loop of three-dimensional digital twin model construction-construction rehearsal analysis-decision-execution-model update.

[0040] Example 2:

[0041] 3D design conflict pre-verification, pipeline and equipment layout conflict detection before substation construction;

[0042] S1: Use BIM software to build a 3D model of the substation, including components such as cable trenches, transformers, and switchgear. Attributes such as equipment size and installation requirements are embedded, and GIS geographic data such as terrain elevation and underground rock distribution are superimposed to generate a 3D digital twin model that integrates the geological environment.

[0043] S2, the dynamic mapping stage of the construction process, uses edge computing nodes to process data from multi-source data acquisition modules in real time, and uses point cloud scanning and image recognition technology to compare the deviation between the actual construction site and the design model site;

[0044] S3, optimizes construction management and control decisions, detects physical collisions between cable trenches and foundation piles, simulates equipment hoisting paths, and verifies whether the crane's operating radius covers the installation location;

[0045] S4, the dynamic risk control stage, triggers an alarm when the distance between the cable trench and the foundation pile is less than 0.5m and the crane arm length is ≥20m, and generates a conflict report to the control host, such as adjusting the cable trench position to the new coordinates [X=50, Y=80];

[0046] S5, the execution feedback stage, manually confirms the final execution decision with reference to the decision-making auxiliary information, updates the twin model, and forms a closed loop of three-dimensional digital twin model construction-construction rehearsal analysis-decision-making-execution-model update.

[0047] Example 3:

[0048] Dynamic progress management and resource scheduling optimization, transmission line tower assembly and construction;

[0049] S1: Use BIM software to build a 3D model of the transmission line tower, including the number of assembled towers, overlay GIS geographic data, and generate a 3D digital twin model that integrates the geological environment;

[0050] S2, the dynamic mapping stage of the construction process, collects crane operation data (number of hoisting operations, single operation time) in real time through edge computing nodes to calculate construction efficiency;

[0051] S3 optimizes construction management and control decisions by importing actual progress data into the 3D digital twin model and dynamically adjusting the construction sequence using the critical path method (CPM). If a tower group is delayed due to geological problems, the crane path is replanned to minimize idle time. A supplementary planning scheme is then output, and the material requirements of the new scheme are estimated.

[0052] S5, the execution feedback stage, manually confirms the final execution decision with reference to the decision-making auxiliary information, calculates the material demand (such as bolts and tower materials) for the next three days based on the three-dimensional digital twin model, and triggers the warehousing and logistics system to deliver to the new usage location in advance.

Matters not described in detail in this specification are well known to those skilled in the art.

[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Any ordinary technician in this industry can smoothly implement the present invention as described above. However, any equivalent changes, modifications and evolutions made by technicians familiar with this profession without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention using the technical content disclosed above are all equivalent embodiments of the present invention.
