无人机电力线路巡视平台选型

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Platform Selection for Overhead Transmission Line Inspection

近年来随着电网规模的扩大和电压等级的提高,电力线路人工巡视已经越来越不能满足电网安全稳定运行的要求。无人机技术的不断发展,给巡视工作提供了新的平台和视角,是常规人工巡视的发展和有益补充。简述了无人机的发展历史和现状,对无人机进行了分类和对比,结合电力线路巡视的特殊性,阐述了用于输电线路巡视的无人机平台的性能要求,给出了选型建议,为无人机电力线路巡视工作的开展提供了参考。

As the scale of the grid increases rapidly and the voltage of the power system steps up, traditional manual transmission line inspection work has become increasingly unable to meet the need of the safety and stablility of power grid operation. Unmanned aerial vehicle （UAV） technology brings a new platform to the inspection work, and shows a brand new point of view rather than human eyes from the ground. This new inspection method is the development and a useful complement to the conventional manual work. In this paper, a brief introducion of the history and current situation was presented. UAVs were classified in several ways and were compared to show the differences and superiority of each type. Performance requirements for UAVs to be used in trasmission line inspection were elaborated. Type selection proposal of UAVs was also detailed, which provided a useful reference for applying UAVs to trasmisison line inspetion work.
