Xinjiang’s Tianchi scenic spot embraces smart power

The Tianchi scenic spot, a popular tourist destination in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, is now using intelligent power protection technology to enhance grid reliability and efficiency.

Mobile sensing terminals developed by Xinjiang Changji Power Supply Co provide real-time monitoring of critical power nodes, replacing manual inspections and instantly reporting faults during outages. They have enabled faster and more precise fault identification and repair.

The terminals address growing demand for seasonal and temporary power protection, especially in tourism areas. Traditional methods requiring manual inspections are resource-intensive and less efficient.

The initiative aligns with a national push for the development of a smart and digitalized power grid. The goal is to transform the power distribution network by 2030, with increased investment in research and development of digital solutions.

“The electric power sector should leverage digital technologies to achieve intelligent management and optimize complex power supply networks,” said Liu Yanhua, honorary director of the national committee of experts on climate change.

Tianchi plans to further develop its digital power protection platform, ensuring a more secure and stable electricity supply for visitors and the tourism industry.
