Application of video image recognition technology in substation equipments monitoring

There are lots of electric equipments in the substation, whether they work properly or not is always related to the working security and stability of substation. Therefore, applying video image recognition technology in substation equipments monitoring is a method which can protect and maintain the equipments effectively. This paper introduces the application of video image recognition technology briefly in current situation and proposes different schemes of image preprocessing and image recognition based on different situations, which can solve the problems of meter display information recognition, switch position recognition and working states recognition of Transformer-fan-set of substation. The results show that video image recognition applied in substation equipments monitoring has broad prospects.
