As an important infrastructure of modern society, the power system provides an indispensable supply of electricity for our life and work. With the rapid development of urbanization and industrialization, the scope of human activities is expanding, and the conflict between the power system and bird activities is becoming more and more prominent.
Specific manifestations of bird damage on power grids:
1、Security of electricity supply
l Transmission lines, transmission and distribution towers can provide birds with a good view and facilitate them to forage for food and find safe nesting sites, which are very popular with birds, but the nesting behavior of birds in these places and their excreta can easily trigger the tripping and power failure of high-voltage transmission lines.
l In addition, many outdoor distribution boxes are exposed to the wild environment for a long period of time. Once broken, some small birds may enter the distribution box from the broken position to build nests, thus triggering short circuits in the distribution box.
l Some of the raptors that inhabit the pole crossarms are known to peck at the insulators, which can accelerate insulator damage and reduce insulator life.
2、economic benefit
Maintenance and rehabilitation of power grids requires a lot of time and resources. Frequent failures and damages caused by bird activity make the maintenance of the grid more costly and less efficient to operate, even affecting the normal supply of electricity.
3、ecological balance
With the increasing awareness of ecological environment and wildlife protection in modern society, people are becoming more and more concerned about the conflict between birds and power systems. In the morning and evening or at night, large birds may fly too fast to see the relatively thin transmission lines and collide, and such collisions may not only lead to the death of the birds themselves, but also affect the safe operation of the lines.
To summarize, the prevention and control of power grid bird damage is an important part of ensuring the safe and stable operation of power grids. By installing bird prevention equipment with true bird repellent technology, improving the structure of power grids, strengthening regular inspection and maintenance and other measures, the conflict between birds and power grids can be effectively reduced, and the faults and accidents caused by bird activities can be reduced, and at the same time, it also helps to provide a safer living environment for birds.
