  • Publication number: 20260142460
    Abstract: The disclosure provides an electric power transmission safety monitoring system for a thunderstorm area. The system includes a transmission platform, an area characteristic analysis unit and a transmission influence analysis unit, where the transmission platform may receive an electric power transmission request sent by a current power supply end, determine a power demand end and a transmission area where the power demand end is located. After receiving the area characteristic analysis signal sent by the transmission platform, the area characteristic analysis unit carries out thunderstorm characteristic analysis, and sends the analysis result to the transmission influence analysis unit and the transmission platform. The transmission platform further formulates an electric power transmission strategy.
