Application of Smart Phone in Distribution Network Inspection and Troubleshooting

Abstract:

Distribution network has large number of facilities and very complex grid structure [. In order to improve the quality of maintenance, and shorten troubleshooting time in distribution network, this article proposes an inspection and troubleshooting support strategy based on smart phone [. Inspection and troubleshooting tasks can be dispatched directly to maintainers smart phone, and real time troubleshooting process can be reported to emergency command center. The application of smart phone can significantly improve daily inspection quality, shorten troubleshooting time. With the real time feedback from maintainers in working area, the whole troubleshooting process becomes standardized and transparent.
