New Hunan client reporter Liu Qiongqiong
From the ground to the sky, thousands of round trips, just to protect the lights; With full of "work blood", he melted into live working and concentrated on solving difficult problems … He is He Biao, the person in charge of the uninterrupted power control center of Changsha Power Supply Branch of State Grid Hunan Electric Power Company, and shoulders the live maintenance work of Changsha urban distribution network.
He has been working for 17 years, striving for perfection and building dreams with ingenuity, and has made extraordinary achievements in ordinary posts-there are 16 national utility model patents, and he has won honorary titles such as Huxiang craftsman, State Grid craftsman, national power industry technical expert, Hunan May 1 Labor Medal, Hunan technical expert and Changsha craftsman. Until now, he still bravely charged in the front line …
At that time, the pointer of light was dialed back to 2007. During the induction training, He Biao, who just graduated from university, learned that the live-line class is the team with the most technical skill level in the power industry, and the live-line operation has high-risk characteristics, and a slight mistake may lead to a major safety accident. However, he dared to keep up with the advanced and won the opportunity to enter the live-line operation class with his own hard training. From then on, he decided to become a "live-line special force" with difficulties.
"I like challenging work, and I like the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction brought by solving difficulties!" Every day, he wears a shielding suit and climbs on the iron tower with a height of tens of meters to ensure the normal power supply of Hunan EHV transmission lines.
At the beginning of 2008, He Biao worked for half a year, and Hunan power grid suffered a severe freezing disaster. Several 500 kV lines were tripped by ice flash and towers were broken. He Biao’s live working class joined the anti-ice protection team of State Grid Hunan Electric Power Co., Ltd., and he fought day and night in the front line of anti-ice disaster relief without fear of cold wind and freezing.
From 2007 to 2010, he completed the live maintenance of EHV and EHV transmission for nearly 100 times, and entered the strong electric field for dozens of times in the actual line operation. The electric spark he saw had already become a million lights. He climbed more than 500 iron towers, troubleshooting nearly 100 times, and avoiding power loss of more than 100 million kWh.
When the unit needs him to transform from live transmission operation to distribution network uninterrupted operation, he faces a brand-new challenge again. The voltage level has dropped, but the risk factor has not dropped at all. In order to master the operation of distribution network without power outage, He Biao has continuously improved itself and successfully realized the transformation. Since 2011, he has participated in the uninterrupted operation of distribution network for more than 7,000 times, increased the power supply by 35 million kWh, reduced the number of households in power outage by 354,688, eliminated all kinds of defects by 1,225 times, and reduced the duration of customer power outage by more than 24,100 hours.
At the beginning of 2020, a sudden epidemic swept across the country. In this war "epidemic" without smoke, He Biao silently stuck to the front line. During this period, the safety of electricity consumption in medical institutions has become a top priority. Distribution network is the "last hundred meters" connecting the vast number of power customers. In order to ensure the reliable power supply of medical supplies manufacturers, He Biao’s live working class in distribution network often carries out live repairs all night.
At the beginning of February, 2024, Changsha ushered in the extremely low temperature weather in the past 50 years, and He Biao was on duty for 24 hours to deal with all kinds of emergency failures of distribution lines caused by low temperature and freezing rain. After all-night rescue, he successfully handled the major hidden danger that the 220 kV Wangtian I line optical cable broke off and fell to the Qishao UHV grounding line, and successfully eliminated the major security hidden danger that affected the operation of Qishao DC UHV line.
At various critical moments, he always sticks to his post and responds to all kinds of emergency rescue and repair work at any time. He frequently "fights" in the streets and alleys of Changsha in the middle of the night, and "sleeps and waits" for the protection of thousands of lights, and interprets the responsibility of grid people with his own practical actions.
Challenges and honors coexist. In 2019, He Biao, as the main team member of Hunan Electric Power Company’s group project, won the first prize in the competition, won the honorary title of "Technical Expert in Electric Power Industry" and the second prize in the national group, especially the group project made a historic breakthrough in the performance of Hunan Electric Power Company’s live working competition in the national distribution network. Long-term practice and competition experience have cultivated He Biao’s exquisite skills. He has participated in professional competitions at all levels as a player or coach for 8 consecutive years and achieved excellent results. In 2013 and 2018, he won the "No.1 Competition Group of Distribution Network Uninterrupted Operation" in the Staff Skills Competition of Hunan Electric Power Company of State Grid twice, and won the "No.1 Professional Individual of Distribution Network Uninterrupted Operation" in the 2018 Hunan Electric Power Staff Skills Competition, becoming the youngest high-skilled talent in Hunan Electric Power Company for live working.
"Try, innovate and break through!" It is He Biao’s working philosophy all the time. He constantly challenges himself and breaks through innovation in practice.
When he found that the screw of the equipment clamp was seriously corroded, the staff on the pole could not unscrew it with adjustable wrench and ratchet wrench. He pondered over and worked hard to tackle the problem, and finally developed the "tool for removing corroded nuts with bucket effect", which required three people to operate for two hours in turn, shortened it to 20 minutes for a single person, and greatly improved the safety factor.
In view of the management of safety tools and instruments for distribution network uninterrupted operation, the traditional test label method is prone to problems such as tearing, falling off, overdue inspection, etc. In the safe production, He Biao proposed a digital three-proof label to integrate the information of tools and instruments for live operation, so as to improve the field application level of tool labels and ensure the controllability and control of safety tools and instruments for distribution network uninterrupted operation in safe production.
His innovative achievements, such as "10 kV live multi-loop pole lifting wire combination tool" and "insulation support frame of distribution line drainage line", have won the outstanding achievement award of technological innovation of Hunan Electric Power Company and the first prize of scientific and technological innovation award of Changsha Power Supply Company for many times. His innovative achievements, such as the device for breaking rusty nuts in power emergency repair, insulating support frame for operating rod of distribution line, lifting tool for linear cross arm of distribution line, replacing tool for linear insulator and combined hoop for maintenance and construction of distribution line, have won 15 national patent certifications.
On the road of exploring "uninterrupted power supply" technology, he never stopped and constantly surpassed. He took the lead in organizing and implementing the comprehensive uninterrupted operation of "large bypass+medium voltage generator car" in Changsha, and realized "zero power outage of the whole line", "zero load loss" and "zero customer perception" by using "medium voltage power generation technology+bypass operation technology. The smooth implementation of the project has realized that the technical level of uninterrupted operation of Hunan Company is firmly at the national leading level.
It is He Biao’s important mission to protect the lights. He sincerely said, "We run outside every day to ensure that thousands of households use electricity with confidence and satisfaction, and the ultimate goal is not to cut off power."
Many citizens in Changsha sincerely feel, "Thanks to the staff of the power sector who are as conscientious as He Biao, it is because of them that we have such a stable electricity consumption. In fact, behind our happy life, they are silently paying, and sincerely praise them."
Work hard to achieve dreams. On the new journey of the "14th Five-Year Plan", He Biao will continue to serve the power grid in the state of "not waiting for the whip and self-motivation" and compose the struggle song of grassroots electric workers.
"I understand the craftsman spirit, that is, to strive for perfection, to be meticulous, to make every job perfect, and to make every craft the ultimate. We electric power workers should do our own jobs in our respective posts and promote the high-quality development of the power grid. Labor is the most glorious and happiest. In the future, I will take it as my unshirkable responsibility to carry forward the spirit of model workers, labor spirit and craftsman spirit and make more contributions to the electric power industry. " He Biao said firmly.
