Application of Information Technology in Operation and Maintenance of Overhead Transmission Lines

Operation and maintenance management work of overhead transmission lines is related directly to safety and reliability of the power grid. As overhead transmission lines are a significant composition part of smart gird, improvement of the operation and maintenance of management is an important measure to support smart grid. This discussion of operation and maintenance of overhead transmission lines are carried out combined with the demand of the current situation and new information technologies. It is appointed that innovation and advancement of the operation and maintenance mode can be pushed forwarded fully by means of on-line monitoring, live detection technology and information technology according to status and assessment of the transmission lines. It is forwarded that deepening application of the information technology is the key to improve efficiency and quality of operation and maintenance of the line and improve management level of the with the big data technology.
