State Grid Intelligent Patrol and Inspection Project - case

Client Profile

State Grid Corporation of China was established on December 29, 2002. It is a super-large state-owned backbone enterprise that plays a vital role in the national economy and energy security, undertaking essential infrastructure construction tasks. As the number of substations increases, the safety risks and cost pressures associated with manual inspections have also escalated. With the development of digital technology, replacing manual inspections with intelligent inspections has become an inevitable trend and a crucial choice for ensuring the safe operation of substations and the power grid.

Business Challenges

As the power grid expands, the number of substations continues to increase. Data indicates that thousands of new substations of 35kV and above are put into operation annually in China. The continuous addition of equipment complicates the operations and maintenance.

The traditional inspection methods, which require a large human workforce, are becoming unsustainable, often leading to issues such as delayed information retrieval, missed inspections, and incorrect inspections.

Traditional methods are heavily reliant on manual work, with low levels of equipment intelligence, resulting in overall inefficiencies in safety management and control, which do not effectively contribute to the company's profitability and efficiency.

Intelligent inspection involves image recognition, which requires on-site data processing. Transmitting data back to the central server can lead to resource waste and degradation.

Solution

Deploy the KunTai A222 edge computing server to collect, organize, and recognize data on-site, reducing data transmission losses.

At the edge computing layer, KunTai utilizes a cloud management platform with a distributed architecture, efficiently allocating computing resources according to the computational tasks.

At the network transmission layer, KunTai employs high-speed, stable, and secure network technology. By tightly integrating business nodes and the edge computing network at the network access side, it ensures seamless operations.

At the application layer, KunTai adopts open architecture with standardized interfaces, supporting various terminal devices and operating systems, thereby enhancing user interaction and application functionality.

Solution Advantages

The stable operation of this system relies on robust artificial intelligence computing power, provided by KunTai A222 edge server, built on the Kunpeng Ascend hardware platform, offering strong edge intelligence computing support.

The short chassis design is 40% smaller in depth compared to conventional 2U models, allowing for significant space savings while ensuring sufficient computing resources. This compact size enables more flexible deployment in various business scenarios.
It supports up to 4 Ascend Atlas 300I inference cards, providing up to 560 TOPS INT8 computing power, capable of handling numerous edge intelligent computing scenarios and performing complex data collection and processing tasks.
The KunTai A222 can be configured with 3 Ascend Atlas 300I pro inference cards or Atlas 300V pro video parsing cards. The high-concurrency parsing feature supports up to 512 channels of real-time high-definition video analysis, ensuring even the slightest errors and anomalies are detected.
