Dadu River Company’s Hydropower Safety Control Platform Listed as a National Pilot Project

On August 15, the “industrial internet-based hydropower safety control platform research and application” launched by Dadu River Hydropower Development Co., Ltd. under China Energy was approved by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology as a pilot project for big data industry of 2022. It is the only hydropower project to win this honor.

Targeting the application of big data technology in the industry, the company independently developed an industrial internet-based hydropower safety control platform that features unified planning, standard, structure and operation. Based on the new-generation ICT, it uses the Internet of Things (IoT) to expand the sensing scope both horizontally and vertically, comprehensively enhancing the hydropower safety sensing capacity. Through integrating IT and OT, the company breaks the barriers between different hydropower stations to enable safety monitoring to cover the entire electricity generation process and achieve full-element demonstration, full-process dynamic monitoring, and all-round intelligent interconnection in the field of hydropower safety control. In this way, it overcame the problem of small-scale, outdated, sporadic, weak and disordered hydropower safety management, and realize real-time collection, full monitoring, risk prevention and emergency response of six kinds of safety data including personal, equipment, environmental, dam, flood control and earthquake risks. Moreover, it has achieved integrated information collection, diversified display methods, full-coverage data services, closed-loop safety management, and timely risk precaution.
