Substation Inspection
MMC Drones’ Substation Inspection solution ensures the reliability and stability of substations and converter stations through efficient aerial inspections. Using high-resolution visual and infrared imaging, drones capture detailed views of electrical components and generate accurate digital models of infrastructure. This enables early fault detection, enhances maintenance precision, and supports uninterrupted grid performance.
Painpoints
- – Manual inspections are labor-intensive and involve navigating complex structures, with evaluations largely based on the subjective assessments of inspectors.
- – High-voltage equipment necessitates strict adherence to safety clearances, which restricts the accessibility of inspection personnel to certain zones and apparatuses.
- – The inspection of vital components such as transformers, circuit breakers, and busbars is often hindered by limited visibility, complicating the task of achieving a comprehensive inspection and posing difficulties in the efficient management of inspection data.
Advantages
- Automated inspection protocols reduce the necessity for hands-on involvement and decrease the duration spent on-site, thereby enhancing efficiency and quality.
- Drones are capable of approaching electrical equipment closely or utilizing high-resolution zoom lenses to obtain sharp, intricate visuals.
- Aerial inspections offer novel vantage points for inspecting critical components and facilitate the assessment of equipment condition through advanced thermal imaging analysis.
Solution
Portable Inspection
- The compact size enables navigation through the confined spaces of substations while adhering to safety regulations, providing optimal shooting angles.
- Integration of multi-sensor technology and RTK positioning ensures robust resistance to electromagnetic interference.
- Automated flight along a pre-planned route minimizes the need for manual control.
