Overview
Power transmission or distribution of power is achieved through a complex web of heavy engineering infrastructure. It mainly comprises of high rise towers, high tension cables and extremely high voltage of electricity flowing through the network. Till the power reaches distribution hubs, the main cables carrying electricity are a powerhouse of heat, magnetic energy. Labor intensive and high risk are the two big features of this sector.
Challenges
Site survey, Installation, Preventive maintenance, Trouble shooting, Maintenance are all extremely challenging tasks in the power transmission sector. Transformers, Towers all require certain pre installation preparation and therefore survey. Often the major grids are located in remote places. Thus comes the need for site surveys. Maintenance or trouble shooting or preventive maintenance are all challenging because of the height of the towers and also because of the value of electricity that the cables carry. This involves risk to human lives both in terms of the exact location of the tower tops, cables and also because of the high voltage of electricity flowing through the network. Even if it is to do a superficial survey for inspection, trouble shooting or maintenance, being in close vicinity of such a network at such a height is indeed dangerous and risky.
How the specific drone can be helpful in Power Transmission ?
Collecting land terrain data before planting, planning irrigation needs and water distribution, monitor the effectiveness of the planned irrigation, exact area for distribution of pesticides and fertilizers and securing the farm against thefts etc are some of the most valuable contribution of drones in precision agriculture. When precise data are collected without errors, the farm management software gives an accurate execution plan. Thus avoiding data collection mishaps. Apart from saving precious time and labor, drones have become an integral part of precision agriculture.
Why UAV Concepts?
UAV Concepts with its huge network of offices in the country, the tie ups with best of drone manufacturers, experience of handling customer requirements of over 3 decades is completely able to service the needs and requirements of customers across the country.
