About

Dapeng Zhou is a researcher specializing in robotics and electrical power system maintenance, with a particular focus on automated cleaning technologies for substation equipment. His work addresses the critical problem of pollution flashover—a phenomenon where accumulated industrial and natural contaminants on outdoor substation equipment cause electrical discharge and system failures. Zhou’s most notable contribution is the development of a water cleaning robot designed for live working in power substations, a concept introduced in his 2019 paper. This innovation enables safe, continuous cleaning without de-energizing equipment, significantly reducing downtime and maintenance risks. While his citation count is modest, Zhou’s research is highly practical, targeting real-world challenges in power grid reliability. His work is particularly relevant as atmospheric pollution worsens globally, making automated cleaning solutions increasingly vital for preventing costly outages. Zhou’s contributions exemplify applied robotics in critical infrastructure, offering a scalable approach to maintaining electrical safety and efficiency.
