Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of transmission tower safety assessment, specifically a method and system for intelligent assessment of transmission tower safety based on multi-source sensing. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial load-bearing structure for power transmission lines, transmission towers operate outdoors for extended periods, making them susceptible to the combined effects of various environmental factors, including wind, rain, solar radiation, and surrounding buildings and vegetation. The areas where towers are located often contain obstructions such as buildings, trees, and undulating terrain. These obstructions alter local wind patterns and rainwater erosion, thus affecting the stress state and corrosion rate of the towers. The base of the tower, due to its constant contact with rainwater, soil moisture, and fluctuating air humidity, is often the most prone to corrosion, resulting in uneven corrosion distribution.

[0003] Existing methods for assessing the safety of transmission towers mostly rely on periodic inspections and visual assessments, making it difficult to analyze the impact of environmental factors on the corrosion rate and strength degradation of the towers in a timely and quantitative manner. For example, wind loads and rainwater erosion are often unevenly distributed due to obstruction by surrounding buildings and vegetation, resulting in significant differences in the degree of corrosion on different sides of the tower. Traditional methods cannot accurately model and predict these differences.

[0004] This application presents a method for predicting tower corrosion and assessing safety by comprehensively considering multiple factors such as environmental obstructions, airflow characteristics, rainfall direction and frequency, in order to improve the scientific nature and reliability of tower operation and maintenance. By analyzing the distribution of obstructions, wind field changes, rainfall characteristics and tower line conditions in the area surrounding the tower, the method predicts the degree of corrosion in each direction at the bottom of the tower and assesses the safety of the transmission tower.
