“比赛期间负荷大，每个接头、每颗螺丝都不能放过，”国网平湖市供电公司工作人员滕耀宗说，随着各项赛事密集开打，当地电力部门已对徐家埭村棒球小镇展开全面排查，全力保障赛场及周边商户的用电安全。
Power Inspections Target Youth Baseball Base
State Grid Pinghu Electric Power Company dispatched personnel to the baseball town in Xujiahe Village, Lindai Town, to conduct a specialized electrical safety inspection across sports venues and nearby merchants, according to local reports. As the international-level youth baseball competition base in the Yangtze River Delta region, the facility hosts high-density events that draw large crowds, sending power loads climbing for venue lighting, audio broadcasting, electronic scoring, and catering refrigeration. The utility stepped up its proactive service to secure a reliable power grid foundation for upcoming matches.
Infrared Scans Test 50 Electrical Points
At 9 a.m. in the main stadium’s warm and humming power distribution room, technician Teng Yaozong knelt in front of a distribution box holding an infrared thermometer while scanning joint connections and monitoring temperature outputs. His colleague crouched nearby, logging test figures into a notebook. “The A-phase temperature of No. 1 distribution box is 36.2 degrees Celsius, and the B-phase is 35.8 degrees Celsius, normal,” Teng stated after reading a data set, before using a clamp meter to verify that load currents remained within rated limits. Checking more than 50 such test points takes nearly three hours, leaving workers drenched in sweat by the time they exit the room.
Three-Dimensional Grid Protection Covers Venues
Xujiahe Village transformed a plot of abandoned land into Zhejiang province’s first international-standard youth baseball field through a 2018 comprehensive land consolidation project, earning the prominent title of China’s First Baseball Village. To match this identity, the power company built a three-dimensional protection framework covering specific points, lines, and entire areas. In the core stadium zone, a stationed working group carried out multi-round sweeping inspections on main supply lines and critical equipment, using digital power grid upgrades for intelligent fault warnings and live-working techniques to achieve imperceptible maintenance. Utilities also devised tailored contingency plans for individual tournaments, deploying personnel for round-the-clock monitoring and dynamic patrols to maintain uninterrupted supply. Utility records show workers have inspected more than 120 kilometers of power lines, checked over 300 devices, and eliminated more than 40 hidden hazards this year.
Upgrades Support Local Agritainment Businesses
Electrical reinforcement extends beyond the stadium gates to local entrepreneurs like Fan Jiajie, who operates an agritainment restaurant next to the baseball town. During past tournament peaks, operating guest room air conditioners and heavy kitchen equipment simultaneously caused frequent power trips that plunged dining rooms into darkness. After learning of the issue, technicians surveyed the property, redesigned the internal wiring layout, and completed a capacity expansion. With reliable electricity powering a steady stream of summer matches, Fan noted that business has improved compared to previous years. To date, the utility has completed power assurance duties for more than 30 large-scale sports events.
