Painpoints
Wind power plants cover extensive areas and are widely dispersed, making centralized management challenging.
Traditional inspection methods are either hazardous or inefficient, leading to less frequent inspections and potential losses in power generation.
Emerging trends, such as offshore wind power, pose even greater challenges for manual inspections.
Advantages
Enhance inspection efficiency by surveying vast areas and inspecting multiple wind turbines in a single drone flight.
Reduce personnel risk without sacrificing the quality of inspections.
Offer adaptable, dependable, and maneuverable drone solutions suitable for various environments.
Drone Platform
Matrice 30T
Weight (incl. two batteries): 3770 ± 10 g
Max Flight Time: 41 min
Sensing System: Six-directional sensing and positioning
Environment Adaptability: Max service ceiling above sea level (without other payload) 7,000 m (with 1676 propellers); max wind resistance 12 m/s
Zoom Camera: 1/2-inch CMOS, effective pixels: 48MP
Payload and Software
DJI Pilot 2
Ground control.
Workflow
1 Mission Planning:
– Fly manually using the DJI Pilot 2 app capturing High-Resolution Images of the key inspection points of the turbine.
2 Data Analysis:
– Analyze the images to detect defects or required maintenance work by manually reviewing the data collected. Transfer the data to a third-party sofware to identify equipment defects using model detection.
