Henan Zhumadian: Smart Irrigation Ensures a Bumper Harvest

Currently, the winter wheat in Henan Zhumadian is at the critical jointing and booting stage, with over 10 million mu of wheat fields entering the peak spring irrigation period. State Grid Zhumadian Power Supply Company has established a comprehensive, technology-driven, service-innovative, and data-powered electricity support system tailored to agricultural production needs, providing reliable power supply to ensure stable grain yields and increased harvests.

New Inspection Technology Weaves a “Safety Net”. In high-standard farmlands across Zhumadian’s townships, power supply company maintenance personnel are using drones to conduct automated inspections of high-voltage power lines. Meanwhile, professional technicians are deployed to the fields to thoroughly inspect agricultural irrigation power facilities, focusing on key operational data such as transformer performance, equipment temperature, and discharge conditions. Smart diagnostic devices precisely identify potential hazards, enabling rapid defect resolution and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power grid during the spring irrigation period.

Service Innovation Delivers “Accelerated Efficiency”. To meet the irrigation electricity demands of small and medium-sized farmers, the power supply company has introduced innovative service measures, opening a green channel for agricultural electricity applications. The application process has been streamlined, with simplified documentation and one-stop service implementation. At the Suiping County Power Supply Station, farmer Yang Xueli completed the entire application process for new irrigation electricity in just over three minutes, truly achieving hassle-free service.

Data-Driven “Smart Chain” Construction. The power supply company leverages monitoring systems and electricity consumption data collection platforms to track real-time irrigation electricity usage and quality. Additionally, a rapid response mechanism has been established, utilizing a grid-based service system to pinpoint faults and intelligently dispatch work orders. This ensures farmers’ irrigation-related power issues are resolved promptly, providing a solid foundation for a successful wheat harvest. (By Ma Sainan)
