With the promotion of dual carbon, the new energy industry continues to develop rapidly, and wind power is widely used, which is helping the development of the energy structure. While new installations of wind power continue to grow, wind farms are also facing some pressing issues that need to be addressed. For example, wind farms are basically built in sparsely populated areas such as seas, mountains, and plains, and the surrounding infrastructure is poor, which makes infrastructure, equipment data communication, personnel operation safety monitoring and other aspects inconvenient, and even has safety risks.


Rooted in China for 10 years, it has accumulated rich practical experience in various power industries. According to the needs of new application scenarios of wind farms, a solution of UWB technology + Beidou indoor and outdoor integrated high-precision positioning system is formulated. The system can realize the precise positioning of wind farm personnel and vehicles, establish an intelligent safety control center, establish a seekable, preventable and controllable positioning management platform, and escort the safe production of wind farms.

The whole solution consists of personnel positioning terminal (smart helmet), Beidou vehicle positioning terminal, UWB technology positioning base station, position calculation engine, position service management platform, visual fan and GIS map. It has the advantages of high precision, high dynamics, high capacity and low power consumption, which helps to standardize the operation of wind farms, save management costs and improve production efficiency.


Indoor and outdoor integration, reducing costs and increasing efficiency for intelligent construction of enterprises


Combining the technology of Beidou satellite positioning system and UWB precise positioning system, Beidou positioning technology is used in outdoor areas, and it is automatically switched to UWB personnel positioning technology when entering the tower. Indoor/outdoor positioning is seamlessly connected without switching, and the transition is smooth. Thereby, high-precision positioning of operators and vehicles in the outdoor area of the wind farm and the tower can be realized, and the implementation cost of the wind farm system can be reduced.


Smart helmets increase personnel safety management


A helmet is a necessary protective tool in operational scenarios. The smart helmet provided for wind power operators is highly integrated with UWB, Beidou/GPS, communication (4G/WiFi), camera, audio, storage, alarm and other modules. Collect audio and video, Beidou positioning data and UWB positioning data through 5G helmets, and conduct comprehensive dispatch management through 5G network transmission command center and unified supervision system. Managers can remotely realize the functions of positioning inspection/real-time accurate positioning of inspectors, personnel trajectory playback, automatic inspection of hats, fall alarm, electronic fence alarm and other functions.


Operate vehicle positioning to realize vehicle operation and maintenance scheduling control


Vehicle positioning is realized by installing the Beidou positioning terminal of the vehicle. The monitoring center user can check the geographic location of the vehicle in real time through the vehicle positioning management system. On the electronic map, the vehicle location and vehicle status can be identified by the vehicle icon, and the different periods of the vehicle positioning information can be viewed. Determine the geographic location of the vehicle.


Abnormal alarm analysis to improve incident and rescue response speed


Based on GIS maps, the authority management of personnel and vehicles is achieved by setting up virtual electronic fences. Personnel in high-risk areas are prohibited from entering the restricted control; the number of operators in the area or the duration of their stay is limited. Once the personnel exceeds or the stay time exceeds, the police should be reported immediately.


In addition, the vehicle intrusion alarm, vehicle yaw alarm, illegal parking alarm, overtime alarm, etc., and the power station personnel are notified to deal with it in time.


The rapid development of the wind power industry has brought many opportunities for technology companies. With the introduction of UWB personnel positioning technology high-precision positioning system and the integration of more digital and intelligent technologies, wind farms will be transformed from extensive management to fine management, and will continue to strive to improve the quality and efficiency of wind power enterprises.
