Proactive Response Secure Power Supply Stability Amidst Winter Snowfall
On 22nd November, Kuitun City experienced its first snowfall of the winter season. In response, State Grid Kuitun Power Supply Company closely monitored weather conditions and swiftly activated its emergency response plan. Repair teams and vehicles were mobilized to ensure that the essential electricity supply for residents and businesses remained uninterrupted, which was necessary for daily functionality and productivity.
The Kuitun Company has deployed a team of drone operators, segmented into three groups, tasked with inspecting critical power lines through a combination of ‘remote surveillance and on-site’ assessments. This innovative approach enabled real-time monitoring of the operational status of lines and equipment, allowing for the timely elimination of potential safety hazards. Concurrently, comprehensive inspections were conducted on the distribution equipment serving residential areas, commercial complexes, and critical clients such as heating and water supply services. To ensure preparedness, the company also made door-to-door visits to businesses along these routes to offer repair services and prepare for emergency power activation when necessary.
In the afternoon of 22nd November, the forecasted strong winds and heavy snow arrived. The Kuitun Company promptly assessed the electricity supply for crucial users, including residential communities, railways, and hospitals. They closely monitored power supply facilities for electric heating, heat exchange stations and companies involved in heating services, offering timely consultations and repair services. The repair teams remained on standby, ensuring prompt responses to any issues and safeguarding the secure operation of the power grid.
To date, the Kuitun Company has organized four emergency power maintenance teams, deployed six emergency vehicles, and brought two pieces of emergency equipment into use, having inspected 72 power lines. They remained on high alert to guarantee safe and reliable power supplies. Moving forward, the company will closely track weather changes, optimize grid operations and proactively address potential safety hazards from harsh cold weather. Their unwavering commitment to 24-hour emergency readiness and implementing effective measures against the impacts of rain, snow, and ice, ensures the community remains warm and safe throughout the winter.
