Abstract

With the continuous development of society, power grid has become a major guarantee for social and economic development, and its coverage is also expanding. The power grid not only covers some developed areas, but also extends to remote mountainous areas with complex changes in geological and climatic conditions. However, at the same time, line failures and power outages caused by mountain fires are becoming increasingly frequent, which poses a significant threat to the safety and stable operation of the power system. Therefore, how to solve the problem of mountain fire on transmission lines has become an important topic today. The main purpose of this study is to achieve effective monitoring of transmission line mountain fires and provide more assurance for the stable operation of the power system. This article discussed the transmission line and traditional mountain fire prevention monitoring system, and combined the current hot machine vision algorithm to design the overall mountain fire prevention monitoring system, focusing on analyzing the differences between this system and traditional systems. Through experiments, it was found that the monitoring accuracy of the mountain fire prevention monitoring system designed in this article has been improved by 10.6 % compared to the traditional system at location 4, 7.6 % at location 6, and 7.9 % at location 7. At the same time, the real-time performance and anti-interference performance of this system were also better than traditional systems, and the overall performance of the system was better. Practice has proved that the system can effectively overcome the interference of external environment, and monitor and identify the fire situation in real time and accurately, ensuring the safety of transmission lines. At the same time, the research on machine vision algorithms in this paper can also help promote the more perfect development of power systems. Practice has proved that this system can effectively overcome the interference of the external environment, and continuously and accurately detect and identify the fire situation.
