Power Transmission Company 2 applies artificial intelligence to the surveillance camera system on its power lines
A power line surveillance camera system (installed on top of 220V and 500kV power towers), integrated with AI, can automatically identify motor vehicles that transgress the power line safety right-of-ways, wildfires (smoke, fire columns), changes of equipment, etc. When detecting abnormal facts, the system automatically sends a warning message to the manager.
In June 2021, PTC2 tested an AI integrated camera system at the 221A tower position of the Thanh My-Hoa Khanh double-circuit 220kV power line (in Da Nang city) which showed its effectiveness when it detected anomalies, sent information to the operator via the Telegram app.
After this effective trial, PTC 2 continued to install and operate three identification systems at positions 1102, 1524, 1529 of the Da Nang-Vung Ang 500kV transmission line.
In the coming time, PTC 2 will continue to deploy AI integration for 30 existing camera sets and 14 newly AI-integrated camera systems at key points on the 500kV transmission line circuit 3 Quang Trach-Doc Soi–Pleiku. At the same time, a remote control function has been developed to facilitate the setting and editing of parameters without having to work directly at its installation site.
