Hilly city in Henan gets expert grid protection
China DailyIn the mountainous Linzhou under the prefecture-level city of Anyang in Henan province, unlike in recent years, this year's rains have seemed to fall more fiercely. Amid the torrential rains, staffers of State Grid Linzhou Power Supply Co were working to prevent potential power outages in their various areas and jurisdictions of responsibility. As most streets in Linzhou were rapidly becoming submarine thoroughfares, Hu Zhifang and one of his colleagues began to wade slowly along a 10-kilovolt power distribution line, as he considers that these lines are like veins of a city and need special care to maintain. "Earlier, we had prepared flood prevention sandbags here in May, putting drainage pumps in place, and now we are inspecting the drainage ditches daily to prevent blockages," said Li Guanqi, station master. Prior to the large-scale rural grid transformation in the city, Linzhou's power grid had poor resistance to natural elements, and the power workers' only weapon was vigilance and diligence, which has become their tradition in maintaining power safety for the city's residents.
