Innovative Application: Millimeter-Wave Radar Enhances Perimeter Security for Carbon Peak Energy Facilities

2021-07-09

Abstract

The Energy Development Strategy Action Plan emphasizes optimizing energy structure by prioritizing clean and low-carbon energy sources. China plans to invest over 3 trillion RMB in renewable energy (e.g., wind, solar, geothermal) and nuclear power by 2030, with energy security as a core priority.

Operational Challenges

Large Perimeter Areas: Remote power stations face intrusion risks with easy hiding spots.

Urban Complexities: Frequent human and vehicle traffic in urban substations complicates security management.

Theft Vulnerabilities: Numerous access points and equipment storage areas are prone to theft.

Outdated Technologies: Traditional infrared or vibration-based systems have high false alarms and cannot integrate effectively with human patrols.

Safety Hazards: Intrusions (e.g., thieves or wildlife) may trigger accidents, causing widespread blackouts and economic losses.

Why Modern Solutions Matter
While physical barriers (fences, walls) and patrols are conventional measures, they struggle against evolving threats. Human-dependent methods are prone to errors due to fatigue or environmental limitations. Advanced perimeter protection is essential for critical energy facilities.

Radar-Based Solution: NanoRadar Perimeter Alarm System
This system delivers psychological deterrence, proactive protection, and remote management capabilities.

System Components:

Front-end detection radar

Audio-visual alarms

Networked HD cameras

Data transmission systems

Command center integration

Friend-or-Foe identification

Management software

Workflow:
Upon detecting an intruder, the system:

Verifies if the target is authorized personnel (no alarm if confirmed).

Triggers real-time alerts (lights/sirens) and notifies the command center.

Syncs with maps and video for visual verification.
