Design of remote inspection system for high-level canal of hydropower station based on cluster centralized control of quadrotor UAV

With the gradual popularization of smart power plants, the demand for comprehensive monitoring and perception of power plant production is gradually increasing through advanced sensor measuring devices and network communication technology. Among all kinds of UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle), quadrotor helicopter is an excellent tool to perform this task because of its unique characteristics of landing/taking off without runway, hovering and free flight, easy to carry and portability. In this paper, a remote inspection system for high-level canals of hydropower stations is designed, which is based on automatic hangar UAV and uses AI algorithm to automatically identify dangerous entities. The platform integrates interface display, user role authority management, inspection task flow, alarm flow, flood discharge inspection flow, inspection history review, intelligent analysis and other functions. And the algorithm development and design of flocking control for quadrotor aircraft group are realized from mathematical derivation. The test results show that the system can receive all the data in time, so that it can respond to possible equipment accidents in time, and the practical application effect is good. The reliability of this system is verified.
