Purpose The purpose of this study is to solve the key technical problems of the practical application of electric robots. The UHV multi-split transmission line power cable operation robot is an important equipment to ensure the reliable operation of high voltage lines and is a useful exploration to realize high-quality power transmission. As the robot system platform equipment mature and operation environment gradually become more complex, the double arm coordination motion control in extreme environment becomes one of the main bottleneck for its practical in power system. Design/methodology/approach This paper summarizes the key technologies related to power cable robots, and aims at key technical indicators such as operation reliability, operation efficiency and operation quality in the robot’s practical process. The dynamic evolution mechanism of the robot’s mechanical configuration, the multi-physics information fusion algorithm in extreme environments, the robot’s autonomous positioning and its error compensation control, the robot’s robust motion control in extreme environments and the dual-arm force-position hybrid coordination control and the dynamic distribution and elimination mechanism of internal forces in the closed chain between robots and operating objects, all the research methods and solutions of the key technologies are proposed, respectively. Findings Finally, a new control architecture for power cable robots in the background of the Ubiquitous Power Internet of Things is proposed so as to manage the operation and maintenance of electric power systems. The above key technologies are a new exploration of the operation and maintenance management of EHV (Extra High Voltage) multi-split transmission lines which have laid a solid theoretical foundation for the power cable robot. Originality/value High voltage transmission line is the main channel of power transmission. It is an important means to improve the integration of operation and maintenance management of power system to use robot instead of manual inspection and maintenance of power line, in the promotion and application of electric robot. The authors pay attention to the practicability, and the breakthrough of key technologies of robot is the premise of the practicability of robot. In this paper, the robot operation and control in multi-task and complex scenes are studied. The research and implementation of the main key technologies, such as the dynamic evolution mechanism of robot configuration, the coupling and fusion law of multi physical fields in the extreme electric power environment, the autonomous positioning control of manipulator, the robust control of robot in the super electromagnetic field environment and the cooperative operation control of multi manipulator, are discussed.

In microgrid, distributed generators (DG) can be utilized effectively, and controlled intelligently and flexibly. By use of rich renewable energy sources (RES) on islands, island microgrids can be built to develop clean and pollution-free re newable energy power industry, which makes islands' natural balance of the regional energy industry achieved, the 'renewa ble energy' economy developed, the industrial structure optimized, and industrial systems with circular economy established.RES on islands of China, including wind, solar, biomass, ocean current energy, wave energy, tidal energy, ocean thermal energy, ocean salinity gradient energy and geothermal energy, are summarized in this paper. It was carried out that compari son among international definitions and structures of microgrid currently, together with that analysis on features of an island microgrid. The domestic and international research was reviewed on island microgrid based on renewable energy power gen eration. A comprehensive overview of some projects was presented. Finally, it was pointed out that some key issues, which should be paid attention to during the island microgrid developing progress. All of these are of great referential and guiding in island microgrid development.
