GPS/Beidou fusion positioning technology for transmission line grounding line

Abstract The grounding wire plays a role in buffering high-voltage electricity in power transmission lines. However, during operation, it is difficult for personnel to obtain real-time information about the location of the grounding wire. The existing positioning technology for grounding wires in power transmission lines can prevent accidents caused by missing grounding wires or transmitting electricity through grounding wires. However, due to the vast scale of power transmission lines, there are often limited visible satellites and poor satellite signal quality, resulting in insufficient accuracy of satellite positioning and navigation. This paper first discusses the necessity of online monitoring of grounding wires in power transmission lines. Then, based on this, it introduces the positioning methods of GPS and Beidou positioning systems. Finally, it focuses on the GPS/Beidou fusion positioning technology. Through experimental verification, the GPS/Beidou fusion positioning technology is shown to greatly enhance the reliability of positioning by coordinating and complementing various navigation systems.
