Research on Intelligent Inspection Technology of Distribution Line Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

The traditional distribution network line inspection mainly adopts manual inspection, which is not suitable for distribution network lines with large range and long distance, and is time-consuming and has poor inspection accuracy. For this reason, intelligent inspection technology based on drones is proposed, and the use of drone inspection can save a lot of manpower and material resources. A UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) inspection system is designed for such distribution lines, which mainly includes the UAV body, control module, wireless communication module, etc. The designed UAV inspection system can be utilized to inspect the distribution lines. The designed UAV inspection system can be used for intelligent inspection of large-scale and long-distance distribution lines. The inspection time is set to 24h, and the operational energy consumption of the UAV intelligent inspection distribution line designed in this paper is 5% of the total energy consumption of the station, and the time required for the inspection of the distribution line is about 3.15min, and the inspection accuracy is about 88.6%. The experimental results show that the intelligent inspection technology based on UAV has certain practical application value for the inspection of large-scale and long-distance distribution lines with fast speed, less time-consuming, and high inspection accuracy.
