“The whole operation process is that the aircraft first flies past, then AI captures the power equipment parts, zooms, zooms in, takes pictures, and finally compares and identifies.” According to Liu Gao, responsible for the operation department of the machine patrol operation center of Guangdong Power Grid Company, the drone is autonomous The technology has three basic technical support. One is the RTK precise positioning technology, which can ensure the flight navigation of the drone reaches the “cm level” accuracy; the other is the high-definition camera and zoom technology equipped on the drone, which can ensure the large size of the equipment components. Proportional and clear imaging; the third is AI technology, which can realize automatic tracking of parts and laser pointer defect analysis.
Guo Qinghua, deputy director of the UAV Management and Control Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and selected by the National Thousand Talents Plan, said that the Guangdong Power Grid Corporation ’s machine patrol operation center has applied lidar technology in the field of electric power patrol lines and unmanned aerial vehicles. Reached the international advanced level. It is reported that the drone automatic driving system developed by Guangdong Power Grid accurately plans the drone trajectory through the cloud server and sends it to the field operation drone. The drone is equipped with sensors such as visible light and infrared cameras to achieve high-precision automatic transmission power transmission equipment. Tour and implement real-time defect analysis.
“This year, Guangdong Power Grid will carry out drone autonomous driving intelligent operation and maintenance laser pointers demonstration projects on 8 main network lines and 8 distribution network lines in Foshan, Qingyuan and Zhaoqing to achieve station-to-station, station-to-household, 7 × 24 Hourly automatic charging, automatic inspection, and automatic analysis of defects. “Said Peng Chigang, director of the machine inspection operation center of Guangdong Power Grid Corporation.
