As urban economies continue to develop, the electricity load is increasing, and the scale of substation equipment is growing. The operational complexity of these substations is increasing, leading to a growing pressure on operation and inspection tasks.
This case study explores the power industry, specifically focusing on the operation and inspection process of substations. It examines how ALVA AR's intelligent power inspection application addresses the challenges in substation operation and inspection, assisting personnel in achieving "zero-pressure" inspections.
As the "heart" of the power grid system, substations play a crucial role in converting high-voltage electricity for various purposes. To ensure the normal operation of substations, efficient and smooth operation and inspection work are essential.
The longstanding pain points in substation operation and inspection, such as "few personnel, large workload, and low efficiency," have been addressed in this case. The owner unit leverages ALVA Systems' AR Power Smart Operation and Inspection application to establish real-time correlation between backend data and on-site operational conditions. This assists inspection personnel in gaining comprehensive insights into substation data, facilitating efficient multi-point inspection, recording, and problem resolution.
▶ Gaining comprehensive insights into data information, making multi-location inspections clearer.
With the aid of devices such as smartphones, tablets, or AR glasses, the AR Power Intelligent Inspection application displays real-time virtual information based on the actual substation. This assists inspection personnel in gaining comprehensive insights into the foundational aspects of the substation, providing a robust reference for planning and organizing subsequent inspection tasks.
In addition, for different site inspections, on-site personnel can easily understand the operating conditions of equipment such as pressure release valves, oil storage tanks, and wind control boxes involved in the normal operation of transformers, as well as inspection indicators. With intuitive prompts, inspection personnel can accurately complete their tasks.
▶ Quickly pinpointing the location of faults enables more agile problem reporting.
When equipment experiences abnormal situations, inspectors can receive alert messages to precisely locate the fault position, guiding personnel to conduct rapid checks and diagnostics on the equipment.
▶ Leveraging AR remote diagnostic collaboration, troubleshooting becomes more timely and efficient.
In case of complex on-site issues, on-site personnel no longer operate as solo players. They establish real-time synchronized contact with remote experts, facilitating efficient communication of fault locations through space-based AR annotations.
On-site personnel can easily address troubleshooting issues based on expert guidance provided in a visual manner or AR solutions presented in the form of images, videos, 3D animations, etc.
▶ Virtual-Reality Fusion Interactive Display Enhances Equipment Training Efficiency
As a vital component of the urban power system, the normal operation of substations relies on regular operational inspections and maintenance. In this case, the owner deployed the ALVA AR Power Intelligent Operation and Inspection platform, achieving the intelligent upgrade of daily operational inspections and addressing the hidden risks caused by personnel uncertainties. Additionally, leveraging the ALVA AR Remote Diagnostic Collaboration platform, even for faults that cannot be resolved on-site, efficient remote communication and issue resolution can be achieved, significantly reducing the safety risks associated with malfunctions. With a focus on the energy and power industry, ALVA Systems, utilizing the advantages of virtual and real integration technology, contributes to the digital transformation and upgrading of power enterprises, injecting new momentum into the construction of smart power grids.
