Power Line Inspection

EDP
Energy Distribution

Overview

EDP faced the challenge of inspecting thousands of kilometers of electrical distribution lines efficiently and safely. HPSOLUTIONS implemented the POWER ONE solution with LiDAR technology and thermography to revolutionize the inspection process.

The Challenge

Traditional electrical line inspections were time-consuming, expensive, and placed technicians in hazardous situations. The need to detect defects before they caused network failures required a more efficient and precise solution. Vegetation growth also had a significant impact on the lines.

The Solution

We implemented the POWER ONE solution, which combines high-precision drones equipped with LiDAR sensors and thermal cameras. The system enables detailed inspections of electrical lines, automatically identifying defects, hot spots, and potential failures, as well as detecting critical vegetation.

Implementation

1
Complete mapping of electrical lines with LiDAR-equipped drones
2
Capture of thermal images to identify hot spots
3
Automatic data processing with AI for anomaly detection
4
Web platform for visualization and management of results
5
Automatic reports with prioritization of interventions
