Key Features of VastArrive Drones for Power Line

Improving Inspection Efficiency

Drones can quickly cover large areas, and their autonomous navigation capabilities enable them to complete long-distance route inspections in a short time. Compared to traditional methods, efficiency can be increased by 3-10 times.

Ensuring Personnel Safety

Traditional inspections require personnel to climb poles or traverse complex terrain, facing risks such as electric shock and falls from heights. Drones, on the other hand, are remotely operated, avoiding personnel contact with high-voltage equipment or entry into dangerous environments, with significant advantages, especially in mountainous areas and during severe weather.

Precise Defect Location

Equipped with high-definition zoom cameras, infrared thermal imagers, and other equipment, drones can detect millimeter-level wire cracks and insulator damage, and monitor abnormal equipment temperatures in real time. Through thermal imaging technology, they can also detect potential overheating hazards at line joints, enabling early fault warnings.

Adaptable to Complex and Remote Terrain

Drones can easily handle complex terrains such as mountains, canyons, and urban building complexes, filling blind spots for manual inspections and solving problems that are difficult to reach using traditional methods.

Reduced Costs

Less reliance on manpower and high-altitude equipment results in long-term maintenance costs that are only one-third of traditional methods. Data is automatically generated into digital archives, saving time on subsequent data processing.

Operating Procedures:

  • Equipment Inspection: A comprehensive inspection of the drone’s appearance, propellers, battery, communication link, and flight control system is required to ensure the equipment is in normal working order.
  • Site Survey: Assess weather conditions (such as wind speed and visibility), geographical environment (obstacle distribution), and airspace restrictions. Avoid operating in no-fly zones or in severe weather.
  • Personnel Qualifications: Operators must have experience in high-voltage line maintenance, be familiar with aviation and meteorological knowledge, and hold relevant qualifications.

Safety Requirements:

  • Environmental Restrictions: Operations are prohibited in fog, snow, heavy rain, or wind speeds exceeding 10 m/s (8 m/s in mountainous areas). Nighttime flight is strictly prohibited.
  • Flight Safety: The drone should fly diagonally above power lines, avoiding direct overhead or underway, and maintaining a safe distance from the lines. During operation, flight speed, altitude, and return distance must be monitored in real time, and timely responses to emergencies (such as strong winds) are necessary.
  • Personnel and Equipment Management: Operators must avoid working while fatigued and immediately stop the mission if any abnormalities are detected. Tools and equipment must be recycled in a timely manner and must not be left inside drones or piled up haphazardly.

Sensor Payloads (Information Acquisition)

  1. Optical Imaging Equipment: High-definition cameras, multispectral cameras, infrared thermal imagers, LiDAR
  2. Environmental Detection Sensors: Gas detectors (e.g., CO₂, PM2.5), meteorological sensors
