‘Power science month' illuminates homes

State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Co (State Grid Jinchang) organized a joint team of technology managers and young science volunteers known as the "Light Pioneer Team". Under the theme of "Safe Electricity Use, Green Energy Technology and Digital Intelligence Network Protection", they launched an event titled "Technology Changes Lives, Innovation Wins the Future".

At the event site, 10 thematic exhibition boards were arranged in an orderly fashion, presenting the "Map of Power Grid Technological Innovations". This included real-time demonstrations of the Beidou electronic fence intelligent early-warning system detecting drone intrusions on transmission lines; and digital distribution network technology enabling fault recovery within minutes. It also included panoramic displays of zero-carbon park demonstration projects showcasing the coordinated operation of power sources, grids, loads, and storage. The high-tech exhibits attracted numerous visitors who paused to observe and study.

The volunteer team focused on public concerns, launching a "Three Talks, Three Answers" initiative. They emphasized safety by using real-life cases to warn against three high-risk behaviors — kites tangled on power lines, objects thrown from large heights, and drones entering restricted zones — and played surveillance videos showing how drone interference triggered circuit trips, creating a vivid and impactful impression.

On technology, they explained in plain language how green electricity reaches homes, how to choose safer charging stations, and whether subsidies exist for photovoltaic grid connection, distributing over 800 copies of handbooks including the "Guide to Safe Household Electricity Use" and "100 Questions & Answers on New Energy Integration". Looking ahead, they engaged youth through interactive activities, featuring VR simulations of substation inspections and the hands-on assembly of miniature photovoltaic microgrid models, sparking children's passion for science.

This event not only effectively enhanced public awareness of safe electricity use and protection of power infrastructure but also vividly demonstrated State Grid’s strong capabilities and responsible commitment in driving innovation to build a new power system. It highlighted the central enterprise’s mission "Electricity for the People" and its dedication to serving society in this era.
