The spring scenery is infinitely beautiful, and it is the right time to strive forward. This year's Government Work Report proposed to stimulate the innovative vitality of the digital economy and continuously promote the "Artificial Intelligence +" initiative. State Grid Corporation of China

earnestly implements the spirit of the Two Sessions of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, fully stimulates the innovative momentum, deepens the empowerment and effectiveness of digital technology, strengthens the application

of artificial intelligence technology, continuously enriches and expands the application scenarios, and promotes the implementation of cutting-edge technologies in various specialties and units, providing reliable power support for the high-quality development of the economy and society. "Digital Safety Officer" Guards the On-site Safety At the spring inspection site of the 500 kV Xin'an Substation in Hebei Province, a "smart electronic safety officer" emitting a blue light is closely monitoring the operation of the crane. With its radar-like eyes and an artificial intelligence "brain", it can accurately identify a linear object with

a diameter of 1 centimeter from a distance of 30 meters, and the early warning delay for approaching the power source is less than 1000 milliseconds. "It upgrades safety management and control from experience-based judgment to data-driven." The on-site person in charge said that

with the data provided by the "smart electronic safety officer", safety supervisors can carry out work such as distance measurement and fixed-point tracking more efficiently and accurately.

Recently, the spring inspection of the power grid has been fully launched, and new scientific and technological means have been continuously introduced, laying a solid foundation for the safety management and control at the spring inspection sites. At the maintenance site of

the 750 kV Baiyin Substation in Gansu Province, the "portable outdoor detection sentry" is equipped with a 360-degree rotating camera and can make real-time remote announcements through a Bluetooth speaker to remind on-site personnel to carry out operations in a standardized manner.

The spatial electronic fence with Beidou positioning technology installed on the crane arm serves as a "safety officer", and it will immediately issue an alarm when the crane is within a distance that is less than the safe distance from the live equipment. Wang Chaogui, an employee of

State Grid Gansu Extra-high Voltage Company, exclaimed, "They are even more sharp-eyed than the veteran workers!"

The technology of autonomous infrared zero-value detection by drones is applied to observe the situation of UHV DC ceramic insulators. The method of "drone + aerial worker" is adopted to deal with the defects of UHV transmission lines. The three-dimensional modeling technology

is applied to calculate the safe distance for high-altitude operations... During this spring's power grid maintenance season, the "digital shield" is expanding the dimensions of power grid safety protection, and scientific and technological tools are strengthening the foundation of power grid safety. "Smart Robots" Improve Work Efficiency At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, at the power grid construction site in Puhui Township, Korla City, Xinjiang, power grid employees nimbly climb up the utility poles wearing exoskeleton equipment. This set of equipment uses a lightweight alloy framework and has functions of intelligent

assistance and motion capture. "In the past, we carried out high-altitude operations wearing thick insulating clothing. Now, the arm lifting device can reduce the force on the hand-held insulating rod, and the ventilation system can prevent heat stroke during operations in summer.

The operation time for live connection of jumper wires has been shortened by 40 to 60 minutes," said Chen Mingxuan, an employee of State Grid Xinjiang Bazhou Power Supply Company.

Within the operating area of State Grid Corporation of China, a variety of intelligent inspection robots with different functions have been widely used in substations, distribution rooms, transmission lines and cable tunnels. These robots are equipped with high-definition cameras,

infrared thermal imagers, etc., and can conduct round-the-clock autonomous inspections of power equipment.

Live-line operation is a high-risk and high-intensity job. Over the years, Zhang Liming, the "Pioneer of Reform", "Model of the Times", and the head of the distribution network repair team in the operation and maintenance department of State Grid Tianjin Binhai Power Supply Company,

has led his team to develop the distribution network live-line operation robot, which has been upgraded to the fifth generation and is solving this difficult problem. The distribution network live-line operation robot developed by the team can smoothly complete a series of actions

such as stripping wires, threading wires, and making electrical connections. It combines advanced technologies such as robotic arms, sensors, control algorithms, and artificial intelligence, and is able to accurately and flexibly simulate the operations of power grid employees to

complete aerial tasks.

In the Internet of Things Town in Binjiang District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, driverless vehicles and robotic dogs have become inspection partners. The robotic dog named "Smart Patrol 007" rides on a driverless vehicle and shuttles through the distribution rooms in the town.

It skillfully scans the instrument data of the switchgear, identifies potential equipment hazards, and transmits the data back to the command center in real time. Each time "Smart Patrol 007" goes out, it can complete the power inspection of the 10 distribution rooms in the entire Internet

of Things Town. "We are developing new security facilities. The experimental platform needs to be powered on 24 hours a day and is particularly sensitive to voltage fluctuations. With the robotic dog inspecting day and night, the research and development of our enterprise is

more guaranteed," said Lin Wei, the person in charge of Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co., Ltd. "Online Electric Steward" Serves Agricultural Production In the fields of Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Anhui Province, the winter wheat that has turned green is stretching and jointing. With a tap on his mobile phone, Cui Zhengxue, a villager, unlocks and sends out the electric sprayer vehicle in the shared station. "In the past, the whole family

was busy for a day. Now, by swiping the screen of my mobile phone on the ridge of the field, it can be done in two hours!" he said while adjusting the spraying intensity. The village-level electrified agricultural machinery sharing platform created by the power supply enterprise integrates

intelligent agricultural machinery such as electric sprayer vehicles, electric rotary tillers, and photovoltaics-storage-pumping cabinets. Farmers can use the equipment by scanning the QR code, and the inventory and battery life of the equipment can be seen in real time.

The shared model of electric agricultural machinery enables the "small patches of farmland" to embrace smart agriculture, and the service mode of irrigation by scanning the QR code is also being promoted. Lu Wenjie, a large grain grower in Zhangwan Town, Dingtao District, Heze City,

Shandong Province, scanned the QR code to start the tube well, and the water for the wheat's regreening instantly rushed into the wheat field. "It used to take three to four days to irrigate the land, but now it only takes one day, and the electricity consumption is 25% less than before,"

said Lu Wenjie. The QR code irrigation service promoted by the power supply enterprise allows farmers to turn the power on and off by scanning the QR code, and they can also remotely control it with their mobile phones.

Smart breeding now has an "online digital electricity steward". In the Jiuhong Rice Planting Science and Technology Demonstration Park in Qing'an County, Heilongjiang Province, 25 intelligent seed soaking and germination accelerating workshops are operating at full capacity.

The intelligent digital system precisely controls the temperature, humidity, and light 24 hours a day. During the centralized germination accelerating period, State Grid Suihua Power Supply Company in Heilongjiang Province, by using the smart agricultural Internet of Things platform,

implemented digital management of "one file for each workshop" for the intelligent seed soaking and germination accelerating workshops. It also achieved real-time collection of electricity consumption data throughout the seed soaking and germination accelerating process, abnormal warning,

and remote control. "With a reliable power supply, our production efficiency has increased by 10%, and the quality of the seedlings we cultivate has improved by 15%," said Kou Hongzuan, the person in charge of the park.

By using a digital system to monitor the load trends of distribution transformers of tube wells in real time, creating a digital agricultural energy consumption system, and having drones from the power supply station "go to the fields" to help farmers with fertilization... When

digital technology permeates the crisscrossing fields, the "seeds" of innovative power services are also sprouting and breaking through the soil in the farmland, bringing new vitality to the spring plowing. China's science and technology are continuously updated. Frontier technologies such as digitalization, artificial intelligence, and advanced communication networks will be integrated into more power construction, production, and application scenarios,

and will also bring smarter and cleaner power supply and services to all industries and social life.
