AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for checking gaps caused by fallen trees when overhead power lines cross high slopes are inefficient and particularly unsuitable for harsh areas such as plateaus and uninhabited regions. This makes it difficult to troubleshoot fallen tree faults and affects the safe and stable operation of the lines.
The high slope is equivalent to a stepped segmented straight line. By obtaining the horizontal profile positioning map and the ground coordinates of each segment, the inclination angle of each segment and the required distance between the overhead line and the ground are calculated. Combined with the tree height and discharge distance, a safety check is carried out to determine the risk of tree falling and take pruning or felling measures.
It improves the efficiency of troubleshooting fallen trees and reduces the workload of on-site measurements. It is especially suitable for plateau and uninhabited areas, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the line.
