XUZHOU, China, May 15, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- "A water level alarm has been triggered inside the
35 kV room substation, with levels rising to the terminal box
location, creating a wading risk for personnel and potential for
causing faults and trip outages. A request to transfer load and
shut down equipment has been made." On May
11th, State Grid Xuzhou Power Supply Company carried
out a flood control emergency drill, aiming to further enhance the
emergency handling capabilities of the power grid during the flood
season.
The exercise was divided into two phases: a tabletop simulation
and a field exercise. The tabletop simulation primarily assessed
the preparedness of the Intelligence Support Center and the
Emergency Rescue Team under alert conditions, testing their
familiarity with emergency response procedures and their ability to
operate intelligence support and flood control systems. This was
intended to improve efficiency in managing extreme weather
situations and to refine emergency defense mechanisms. The field
exercise was conducted at substations or distribution rooms,
evaluating staff proficiency in using protective gear and operating
flood control facilities, thus significantly enhancing real-life
flood control and emergency response skills.
Since May, the company has followed a proactive strategy of
"early deployment, early inspection, and early implementation." It
has completed flood channel clearing and the provisioning of flood
control materials for over 270 substations and more than 400
low-lying distribution stations under its jurisdiction. For
critical flood-prone substations, the company has also replaced
large-capacity drainage pumps and upgraded remote automatic
drainage systems, all to ensure the safety of electrical equipment
and facilities during the flood season.
