As an important facility for oil storage, the safety and stability of oil storage tank is directly related to national energy security and economic lifeline. However, the force of nature - lightning, but often become a threat to the safety of the storage tank "uninvited guests." According to statistics, every year due to lightning caused by the oil storage tank fire or explosion accident is not a few, not only cause huge economic losses, but also pose a serious threat to the safety of personnel. Therefore, the emergence of the WX-LD1 storage tank lightning monitoring and early warning system is undoubtedly another effort of science and technology to enable safe production, which is like a solid "Great Wall of lightning protection", guarding every inch of precious energy territory.

Lightning, as one of the most spectacular and dangerous natural phenomena in nature, its powerful electromagnetic field and current can destroy all electronic equipment in an instant, and even cause fires and explosions. For oil storage tanks, lightning strikes or lightning induction may cause serious consequences. Direct lightning can penetrate the tank roof directly, resulting in tank damage and oil leakage; The lightning induction can cause electrical system failure, generate sparks, and then ignite the combustible gas inside the tank, causing disaster.

Faced with the "invisible killer" of lightning, the traditional manual monitoring and prevention measures are powerless. Therefore, the lightning monitoring and early warning system of oil storage tank came into being. The system integrates modern meteorology, electronic information technology, big data analysis and other advanced technologies, which can realize real-time monitoring, accurate early warning and rapid response to lightning activities.

Real-time monitoring: Through the lightning sensor network arranged around the oil storage tank, the system can capture the weak signal of lightning activity, real-time monitoring of the occurrence, development and movement of lightning.

Accurate early warning: With the help of advanced big data analysis algorithms, the system can quickly process the collected lightning data, accurately predict the scope and degree of impact that lightning may cause on the oil storage tank, and send out early warning signals in advance.

Rapid response: Once the early warning signal is received, the system can immediately start the emergency plan, such as shutting down non-essential electrical equipment, starting the fire protection system, evacuating personnel, etc., effectively avoiding or reducing the loss caused by lightning disasters.
