Abstract

With the implementation of national greening policies, bird related faults in transmission lines have become increasingly serious, and have become the third largest transmission line fault problem after lightning strikes and external damage. In previous studies on electric birds, strong stimuli such as electricity, sound, and light were mostly used for bird prevention, and there was a lack of research on the relationship between bird activity patterns and line fault data. This study is based on public collection of bird watching data and compares the situation of power facility failures in Shanghai. The results show that the high incidence areas of bird related failures coincide with bird activity areas, and bird related failures in transmission lines are closely related to bird habits and bird diversity, both of which are directly affected by the surrounding environment. By analyzing these survey data, the distribution and activity patterns of these birds were studied, providing a basis for bird line symbiosis and achieving a combination of ecological protection and power grid construction.
