Power grid is an important lifeline of the national economy, and its safe and stable operation is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. With the continuous expansion of the scale of China's power grid and the increasingly complex structure, the traditional means of power equipment monitoring and maintenance have been difficult to meet the needs of safe, efficient and intelligent operation and maintenance of modern power grid. Infrared thermal imaging technology, as a non-contact, long distance, high sensitivity detection means, can quickly and accurately identify the thermal defects of power equipment, and provide a strong guarantee for the safe and stable operation of power grid. In recent years, with the improvement of infrared detector performance, cost reduction, as well as the integration of artificial intelligence, big data and other technologies, the application of infrared technology in the field of power grid monitoring and maintenance has been deepened, showing great potential for development. Infrared thermal imaging technology has been widely used in substation equipment inspection, transmission line fault detection, distribution network troubleshooting and other scenarios, effectively improving the operation and maintenance efficiency of power equipment and fault warning ability, and playing an important role in ensuring the safe and stable operation of power grids

The "Optoelectronic Technology Empowering Smart Power Security Operation Forum" will focus on the latest progress of infrared technology, application needs and future development trends of the power industry, and invite domestic experts and scholars in the field of infrared technology, infrared thermal imaging equipment manufacturers, LiDAR and sensing solution providers, power grid companies, power generation enterprise users, etc., to gather together. Jointly discuss the innovative application cases, technical solutions and future development direction of infrared technology enabling power grid monitoring and maintenance, and contribute wisdom and strength to promote the intelligent transformation and upgrading of the power industry.
