Thermal power generation since its advent in 1875, has a history of development for hundreds of years, until today thermal power plants are still the main force of power supply, and in the short term with its stable power supply capacity, peak regulation capacity and mature technical system will not be replaced by new energy, although the proportion of new energy electricity gradually increased. The operation of thermal power plants is an extremely complex process, involving a variety of equipment, in order to ensure stable operation, safety management measures must be taken, how to strengthen the safety management of power plants, is an important task of thermal power plants.
Safety hazard analysis of thermal power plants
To do a good job in the safety management of power plants and reduce safety accidents in power plants, the most important thing is to reduce safety hazards. In thermal power plants, safety hazards mainly include three aspects:
1. Hidden dangers of equipment
Boilers, generator sets and other equipment is the core of the power plant, in these equipment, there are various pressure vessels, high temperature and high pressure pipelines, etc., there are large safety risks, once the equipment aging or leakage and other issues, there may be explosions, fires and other safety accidents. In addition, in the process of equipment operation, it is necessary to consume oil, acid and alkali and other substances, which will cause damage to the equipment and increase the probability of equipment safety accidents.
2. Hidden dangers of natural factors
The safe operation of thermal power plants requires a relatively stable natural environment, and when natural disasters such as lightning, heavy rain and earthquakes occur, the equipment of thermal power plants will be seriously damaged, which is easy to cause failures and casualties.
3. Hidden dangers caused by human factors
Although the operation of thermal power plants is gradually moving towards automation and intelligence, it is still inseparable from the operation of personnel, if there are personnel operation errors, violations and other issues, it may cause safety accidents; in addition, in the process of daily inspection, there may be missed inspections and other phenomena, which may also leave safety hazards and cause safety accidents.
4. Low altitude safety factors have great hidden dangers
With the development of scientific and technological intelligence, unmanned aerial vehicles are widely used in all walks of life, industrial inspection, power inspection, plant protection, express transportation, aerial photography, etc., then the ensuing "black fly" problem is also more and more intense, once there is an unexpected or intentional "black fly" problem in the thermal power plant, the consequences are not only the loss of power facilities, but also economic losses and personnel safety issues, and even a series of problems caused by power production.
Countermeasures to solve the problem of safety management of thermal power plants
1 Pay attention to safety management
In view of the problems existing in the safety management of thermal power plants, the first task is to strengthen the understanding of safety management, strengthen the safety management concept of all employees of thermal power plants, first, strengthen their own learning, deepen their understanding of safe production, and correctly understand the important role of safety management in the economic and social benefits of thermal power plants. The second is to improve the relevant systems of safety management and formulate a comprehensive safety management system that conforms to its own actual situation. The third is to strengthen the publicity and education of safe production, so that the employees of thermal power plants can establish a good concept of safe production and implement it in practical work.
2 Application of professional security management tools
The use of professional safety control tools can effectively improve the efficiency of safety management, such as Yunku Technology's UWB high-precision personnel positioning system, through the UAV tilt photography and 3D laser scanner technology to build a three-dimensional model of the power plant as the basis for positioning and business function display; the deployment of positioning equipment and Internet of Things network at the job site to achieve real-time location monitoring of people and vehicles; the integration of existing video surveillance systems, access control systems, two tickets and other operation management systems to achieve personnel location and video surveillance and access control linkage, Functions such as personnel location and job linkage.
Through this platform, managers can grasp the information of personnel, vehicles, operations and other information of the whole plant in real time, effectively prevent safety risks through intelligent analysis and electronic fence technology, and also link video surveillance to view the actual situation of the site and improve the efficiency of safety management.
Understanding the current situation of the problem and taking effective measures to solve it is an important guarantee for the safe and stable operation of thermal power plants, and it needs to be paid corresponding attention.
