EDA faced unique challenges in maintaining the power grid across the Azores islands, with rugged terrain and adverse weather conditions. HP Solutions developed a customised solution using high-precision drones for power line inspections.
The Challenge
The Azores’ geographical characteristics make traditional inspections extremely difficult and dangerous. Access to many areas is complicated, and weather conditions do not always allow conventional work. A solution was required that could overcome these obstacles.
The Solution
We implemented a drone inspection system equipped with high-resolution cameras and thermal sensors, adapted to the specific conditions of the Azores. The drones can operate in difficult terrain and provide detailed data on the condition of the infrastructure.
Power lines inspected in difficult terrain
Critical faults identified and corrected preventively
Reduction in inspection costs compared with traditional methods
Elimination of risks to technicians
