Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Transmission lines typically traverse vast mountainous and forested areas, where fire ignition points are numerous, widely distributed, and complex in their patterns, posing significant challenges to wildfire monitoring and early warning. Currently, deploying indiscriminate, full-coverage monitoring devices across all line sections would result in extremely high economic costs, making widespread adoption difficult. Existing methods for deploying monitoring devices often rely on historical maintenance data and fault information to passively determine installation locations. This approach lacks foresight and a systematic approach, failing to scientifically assess potentially high-risk sections along the transmission line from a holistic perspective. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Preferably, based on pre-acquired forestry department wildfire risk data, a wildfire risk index is generated for the candidate monitoring points, including: Based on forestry department data on wildfire risk, the area where the candidate monitoring points are located is determined to be a low-risk, medium-risk, or high-risk area. If the area where the candidate testing point is located is a low-risk area, then the wildfire risk index of the candidate testing point is set to the first value. If the area where the candidate monitoring point is located is a medium-risk area, then the wildfire risk index of the candidate monitoring point is set to the second value. If the area where the candidate monitoring point is located is a high-risk area, then the wildfire risk index of the candidate monitoring point will be set to the third value.

[0022] In one embodiment, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the steps of a method for planning the deployment of a wildfire monitoring device for power transmission lines, according to an exemplary embodiment. See also... Figure 1 A method for planning the deployment of wildfire monitoring devices along power transmission lines is provided, including: Step S11: Based on the observation of remote sensing images, determine whether each candidate measurement point is in the wildfire monitoring blind zone, and generate the wildfire monitoring blind zone index for each candidate measurement point based on the judgment result.
[0023] Step S12: Generate the line voltage index for each candidate test point based on the voltage level of the tower where each candidate test point is located.
[0024] Step S13: Generate the wildfire risk index for each candidate monitoring point based on the pre-acquired forestry department wildfire risk data.
[0025] Step S14: Calculate the layout factor of each candidate monitoring point based on the wildfire monitoring blind zone index, line voltage index, and wildfire risk index of each candidate monitoring point.
[0026] Step S15: Generate a wildfire monitoring device deployment plan based on the layout factors of each candidate monitoring point.
[0027] It is understood that the technical solution shown in this embodiment can determine whether the candidate monitoring points are in wildfire monitoring blind zones based on remote sensing image observations, and generate a wildfire monitoring blind zone index; generate a line voltage index based on voltage levels; generate a wildfire risk index based on wildfire risk; and calculate the layout factors of each candidate monitoring point based on the indices of each candidate monitoring point, thereby generating a wildfire monitoring device deployment plan. It is understood that the technical solution shown in this embodiment integrates multi-dimensional judgment criteria such as monitoring visibility, line importance, and environmental risk, solving the problems of strong subjectivity and insufficient scientific rigor in existing deployment decisions. It can scientifically select key monitoring locations, optimize resource allocation, and improve monitoring efficiency.
[0028] In practice, taking the candidate measurement point A as an example, the following explanation is provided.
[0029] It should be noted that during step S11, based on remote sensing image observations, it is determined whether the candidate monitoring point is located in a wildfire monitoring blind zone. This step aims to quantify the difficulty of effectively monitoring candidate monitoring point A by satellite, including: Step S111: Obtain the satellite nadir height, vertical distance from the equator, blind zone projection distance, mountain top elevation, pixel slope, and pixel aspect corresponding to the selected measurement point.
[0030] For example, the satellite nadir altitude d of candidate point A is 700 kilometers, the vertical distance h of candidate point A from the Earth's equator is 1.2 kilometers, the potential blind zone projection distance d0 due to terrain obstruction is 0.8 kilometers, and the elevation E of the highest mountain peak near candidate point A is 1.5 kilometers. Furthermore, by consulting high-precision digital elevation model data, the pixel slope α1 of candidate point A is found to be 35 degrees, and the pixel aspect β1 is 150 degrees.
[0031] The principle behind the formation of blind spots in wildfire monitoring is that when a satellite in the sky observes the ground, if the selected monitoring point is located on the back slope of a high mountain, its line of sight may be blocked by the mountain, thus creating a monitoring blind spot. To quantify this effect, this application introduces the concepts of slope limiting angle α and aspect limiting angle β.
[0032] Step S112: Calculate the slope constraint angle α of the selected measurement point based on the elevation of the mountain top and the projected distance of the blind zone. The physical meaning of the slope constraint angle is to define the minimum slope that may fall into the shadow area due to mountain shading. Its calculation formula is:
[0033] Step S113: Calculate the slope aspect constraint angle β of the candidate measurement point based on the vertical distance from the equator and the satellite nadir height. This angle is used to define the slope aspect range that may cause obstruction. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0034] Where E is the elevation of the mountain top, d0 is the blind zone projection distance, h is the vertical distance from the equator, and d is the satellite nadir height.
[0035] Step S113: Compare the slope limitation angle of the candidate measurement point with the pixel slope, and compare the slope aspect limitation angle with the pixel slope aspect to obtain the judgment result of the candidate measurement point.
[0036] If the pixel slope α1 of the candidate measurement point is within the range of [α, 90°], and the pixel aspect β1 of the candidate measurement point is within the range of [β, β+180°], then the candidate measurement point is a blind spot for wildfire monitoring.
[0037] For example, for candidate monitoring point A, its pixel slope α1 is 35 degrees, which is less than the calculated slope limit angle α (approximately 69.4 degrees). Since the condition "α1≥α" is not met, there is no need to determine the slope aspect, and it can be determined that candidate monitoring point A is not in the blind zone of wildfire monitoring.
[0038] Preferably, when assigning the index value, if the candidate measurement point is a blind spot for wildfire monitoring, the wildfire monitoring blind spot index Y1 of the candidate measurement point is set to 3; otherwise, it is set to 1. The value of the wildfire monitoring blind spot index Y1 of candidate measurement point A is 1.
[0039] It should be noted that in step S12, based on the voltage level of the tower where each candidate testing point is located, a line voltage index is generated for the candidate testing point. This aims to quantify the importance of the transmission line, including: If the voltage level of the tower where the candidate test point is located is 110kV or below, then the line voltage index of the candidate test point is set to the first value. If the voltage level of the tower where the candidate test point is located is 220kV, then the line voltage index of the candidate test point is set to the second value. If the voltage level of the tower where the candidate test point is located is 500kV or below, then the line voltage index of the candidate test point is set to the third value.
[0040] It is understandable that the higher the voltage level of a power line, the more important its position in the power grid, and the greater the impact of damage caused by wildfires. In this embodiment, a three-level assignment system is used, with the first value being 1, the second value being 2, and the third value being 3.
[0041] For example, the voltage level of the tower on the transmission line where the test point A is located is 500 kV, and its line voltage index Y2 is assigned a value of 3.
[0042] It should be noted that in step S13, based on pre-acquired forestry department wildfire risk data, a wildfire risk index is generated for the candidate monitoring points. This index quantifies the inherent fire risk of the environment in which the candidate monitoring points are located. This index directly references the risk levels published by authoritative departments to ensure the objectivity of the assessment. This includes: Based on forestry department data on wildfire risk, the area where the candidate monitoring points are located is determined to be a low-risk, medium-risk, or high-risk area. If the area where the candidate testing point is located is a low-risk area, then the wildfire risk index of the candidate testing point is set to the first value. If the area where the candidate monitoring point is located is a medium-risk area, then the wildfire risk index of the candidate monitoring point is set to the second value. If the area where the candidate monitoring point is located is a high-risk area, then the wildfire risk index of the candidate monitoring point will be set to the third value.
[0043] In this embodiment, a three-level assignment system is also adopted, with the first value being 1, the second value being 2, and the third value being 3.
[0044] For example, according to data released by the forestry management department, the geographical area where the selected monitoring point A is located has been designated as a high-risk area, and its wildfire risk index Y3 has been assigned a value of 3.
[0045] It should be noted that after the calculation of each independent index is completed, step S14 is executed to calculate the layout factor of the candidate monitoring points based on the wildfire monitoring blind zone index, line voltage index, and wildfire risk index. This includes: The layout factor Y of the selected measurement points is calculated using the following formula:
[0046] in, w 1. w 2. w 3 is the weighting coefficient, Y1 is the wildfire monitoring blind spot index, Y2 is the line voltage index, and Y3 is the wildfire risk index.
[0047] Preferred weighting coefficient w 1 is 0.43, weighting coefficient w 2 is 0.24, weighting coefficient w The value of 3 is 0.33, indicating that whether a location is in a surveillance blind spot is considered a primary consideration. Furthermore, the weighting coefficient can be set according to the actual situation.
[0048] Substituting the index values and weight coefficients of the candidate measurement point A into the formula, the value of the arrangement factor Y of the candidate measurement point A is 2.14.
[0049] The final execution step S15 involves generating a wildfire monitoring device deployment plan based on the layout factors of each candidate monitoring point, including: If the layout factor of the candidate monitoring point is greater than the preset threshold, the candidate monitoring point is marked as a key monitoring point; based on the marking of each candidate monitoring point, a wildfire monitoring device layout plan is generated.
[0050] In practice, the preset threshold can be set according to the actual situation. Taking a preset threshold of 2 as an example, for the candidate monitoring point A, its Y value is 2.14, which is greater than or equal to the preset threshold of 2. The judgment result is "yes". The candidate monitoring point A is marked as a key monitoring point, and the decision result is output for the planners to include it in the list of priority wildfire monitoring devices.
[0051] As can be seen from this embodiment, although the selected measurement point A is not in the blind zone of satellite monitoring (Y1 is low), its location on the line is extremely important (Y2 is very high) and its environmental fire risk level is very high (Y3 is very high). Therefore, the comprehensive evaluation model of this application can still scientifically identify it as a high-value deployment target, which reflects the ability of this method to comprehensively weigh multiple factors and achieve effective protection of critical assets.
