Technology drives efficiency

State Grid Elunchun Autonomous Banner Power Supply Company has accelerated the digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of local power grids during recent years.

Empowered by advanced technologies, the company has revamped traditional power operation and maintenance models for line inspection, fault disposal and data monitoring. These upgrades have effectively addressed long-standing difficulties in forested-area grid management, including vast service coverage, complex terrain and the limitations of manual inspections.

The company has extensively adopted UAV patrols to replace conventional foot-based line inspections. The shift has substantially reduced labor and material costs while expanding inspection coverage and improving overall operational efficiency. Fitted with infrared thermometry modules, UAVs can precisely identify overheating hazards on lines and electrical equipment, enabling early detection, timely warning and prompt rectification of potential defects.

Meanwhile, smart meters across the service area support round-the-clock power consumption monitoring and real-time user electricity data analysis. Intelligent switches can rapidly locate and isolate faulty grid sections, drastically shortening troubleshooting procedures and power restoration duration.

Moving forward, State Grid Elunchun Autonomous Banner Power Supply Company will further scale up innovative technological applications and enhance the grid's intelligent operation and maintenance capacity. The company will continue delivering safer, more reliable and smarter power services to underpin high-quality local economic and social development.
