Abstract

Installing and removing ground wires is a common substation switch operation. However, due to the high installation position of the substation equipment, the position of the grounding point is mostly high, and the grounding line has a large cross-sectional area, long length and heavy weight. It is often difficult to complete the connecting work because of the insufficient rigidity of the operating rod when it is directly connected to the ground by using the operating rod. Because of the heavy grounding wire itself and the long insulating rod, the operators on the spot stand on the herringbone ladder to carry out the hanging and dismantling operation, which is time-consuming and labor-consuming. To solve the above problem, this paper will develop a mobile operating platform technology suitable for substation complex road conditions, and applicable to substation folding and telescopic mixing robot hanging grounding wire lifting work platform technology, and based on intelligent control system substation robot multi-sensor information fusion technology. Developed an automatic hanging grounding wire robots for the voltage level below 500 kV, ensure the personal safety of operators, improve the intelligent level of substation operation.

The paper is supported by Shandong province key R&D program (2017CXGC0905,2017CXGC0918 and 2017CXGC1505).
