.
(2015)

Abstract

Information gathered from traditional visual inspections is critical and has the largest influence on maintenance strategies and planning for TSO/DSO. This paper will review issues of data acquisition and maintenance planning through the use of the traditional foot patrol, manned helicopter based inspections and the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). The use of UAVs with consolidated patrol data can serve many critical functions of utilities: • Improved compliance with regulations • Reduced power lines inspection expenses for multiple purposes • Improved customer and general public relations This paper will address the following important questions: • Why a consolidated UAV patrol is a good and cost-effective idea? • What are the requirements for consolidated UA V patrol? • Pragmatic experiences of utilizing UAV for Beyond Visual Line of Sight Flights in Northern Europe. • How can UAV help with the compliance with regulatory standards?
