MultiSpectrum Inspection of Overhead Power Lines

Abstract

Electric power transmission employs an extensive network of transmission and distribution lines to connect energy production plants with consumers. This architecture limits the extent and frequency of inspections and implementation of preventive maintenance programs. Robotic systems, which allow movement over transmission cables, have been introduced to address the difficulties of inspections in distribution and transmission lines. This paper introduces a novel method of multispectrum robotic inspection for transmission lines, which can perform predictive inspection and maintenance, and discusses a new composite sensor that analyzes the integrity of overhead lines in acoustic, thermal, visual, and reference spectra. The system is particularly designed to be incorporated into cable-inspection robots and moves over cables to provide a direct point of view of the transmission line components. The proposed method was evaluated using a calibration scenario and actual overhead power lines.
