Design of Directional Bird Dispersal Device in Substation Based on Infrared Sensing

Abstract

In order to reduce the impact of bird activities on the operation of power equipment, important power stations such as substations and converter stations are equipped with dispelling birds devices that can continuously output acoustic, optical and electrical signals for dispelling birds. However, due to the lack of target orientation for dispelling birds, birds can quickly produce adaptability, resulting in a significant decline in the effect of dispelling birds. In this paper, a directional dispersal device for substation birds based on infrared sensing is designed for directional aiming dispelling birds. Firstly, an improved image template matching method is used to complete the identification and location of bird targets. Then bird's directional tracking and dispersion control algorithm based on PID is proposed. Finally, the experiment proves that the device has the characteristics of high positioning accuracy and fast-tracking speed for the dispersal of birds, which can quickly and effectively dispel moving birds accurately.
