Key Technologies and Application of Fully Autonomous Fine Inspection of Transmission Lines by UAVs in Complex Coastal Mountainous Areas
In response to the complex terrain characterized by "70% mountains
10% water
and 20% farmland" in the coastal areas of southern Zhejiang
as well as the frequent occurrence of typhoons and salt fog
traditional manual operation and maintenance face challenges such as extensive visual blind spots
high operational risks
and delayed emergency response. This article addresses these issues by constructing a high-precision 3D laser point cloud model
enabling beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) autonomous flight based on micro-terrain perception. By implementing a "segmented relay" operation mode
it overcomes the limitations of endurance and communication for long-distance power line inspections in mountainous areas. For typhoon disasters
an integrated emergency response strategy has been developed
encompassing rapid disaster assessment modeling
precise material delivery
and nighttime illumination. Application results show that
as of the end of 2024
this technological system has increased the coverage of inspectable areas in the region from 65% to 100%
achieving a defect identification accuracy rate exceeding 92%. This significantly enhances the operational resilience of coastal power grids under extreme environmental conditions.
