Abstract:
To ensure stable operation of Anhui seismic monitoring network, a comprehensive review of the operational status of 31 participating stations from 2020 to 2024 was conducted. The operational efficiency of the stations was evaluated reasonably by analyzing station uptime rates, fault frequency, and cumulative downtime. Common faults were categorized into four major types: communication systems, power supply systems, observation instruments, and other factors, and twelve subcategories. Analysis indicated that 29 of the 31 evaluated stations maintained an annual average operational rate exceeding 99% through the five-year period. The vast majority of the faults were detected and resolved within 24 hours, demonstrating overall sound operation of the observation systems. Power supply and communication system failures constituted the primary fault types affecting seismic observation stations, accounting for 73% of all incidents. Recommendations include developing an AI-powered station operation and maintenance model and an online fault diagnosis platform to automate fault alerts, rapid diagnostics, and solution generation; strengthening duty shifts during July to September and implementing proactive lightning and flood prevention measures; and optimizing spare equipment allocation strategies and enhancing the maintenance capabilities of grassroot personnel of provincial operation centers.
