According to IRNA, Kourosh Mousavi, in a meeting held in Sari on Monday to explain the measures taken in the field of drone monitoring and the effects of using knowledge-based companies in the Mazandaran and Golestan regional electricity industry, added: Drones are widely used in monitoring and identifying defects in the distribution and transmission networks of service companies in advanced countries of the world and of course the electricity transmission industry of Mazandaran and Golestan provinces. He explained the benefits of using drones in monitoring the aerial electricity network: Avoiding the high cost of human visits in forested and difficult-to-reach areas, the absence of the risk of falling during ascent, high speed of monitoring and high accuracy of monitoring are among the benefits of using drones. The CEO of the Mazandaran and Golestan Regional Electricity Company said: In advanced countries of the world, up to four thousand dollars are spent daily to visit electricity transmission networks, because the use of drones reduces labor costs and shortens the time for visits. He continued: Dense vegetation, trees and tall forests in difficult-to-reach areas prevent easy access for human resources to the base of the mast, which can be solved by using drones. Mousavi Takami continued: Drones help to accurately identify violations of the lines and to accurately image and see defects in equipment and parts of power transmission lines using high-resolution cameras. The official added: The 3D imaging that these drones take helps companies make decisions to analyze defects. He added that by installing point imaging equipment such as LIDAR on drones, it is possible to take point cloud imaging, and this data is input into advanced automatic line design software such as PLSCADD, resulting in accurate and economical design of transmission and super-distribution lines. Drones are also used to control the physical progress of projects by imaging and filming the stages of work. He said that with the operation of anti-theft warning systems when the corner parts of power transmission towers are stolen, drones are quickly dispatched to the theft site and, while tracking the thieves, identify the extent of the damage and its importance. He added that by installing thermal imaging systems and thermovision systems, it is possible to take pictures of hot spots of equipment and facilities, and therefore, before any destruction caused by the creation of hot spots occurs, these defects are identified and fixed. Takami added that drones in the electricity industry are now being used to deal with local aggressive and dangerous drones. The CEO of the Mazandaran and Golestan Regional Electricity said: Currently, the Shahid Chamran Control and Monitoring Center was established in Sari last year for this purpose, and all knowledge-based companies have the opportunity to establish themselves in it. He pointed out that two important research projects are about to be defined in order to increase the flight duration and flight distance of drones from the current 5 kilometers to over 100 kilometers in relation to the construction of the drone’s electric power supply system using fuel cells. He also said; We plan to focus on fixed-wing drones that have longer flight duration and time. We also have a special focus on advanced image processing systems and drone monitoring systems, and we invite knowledge-based companies in the fields of software and systems to cooperate with us in this field. He said that the Shahid Chamran Intelligentization, Monitoring and Control Center welcomes all knowledge-based companies to cooperate in the fields of electricity, precision instruments, computer software and hardware, chemistry and mechanics. Mousavi spoke briefly about conducting research work to install thermal vision cameras on these drones. He named “Tadaf”, the company implementing this work, as a good company with high knowledge in identifying and troubleshooting network faults, which has been able to expand its work and increase its equipment. Mousavi further explained: The Mazandaran and Golestan Regional Electricity Company was established and started its activities in 1968, and therefore, this company is currently supervising the performance of other companies in the electricity industry. He continued: “Despite being located at the northern end of the country’s network, the company has been able to provide high-quality service and has expanded and strengthened the network in the last two years.” He pointed out that there were some problems in carrying out the company’s assigned missions and clarified: “To implement the overhead transmission lines, we need the cooperation of institutions such as the environment, natural resources, and the public to implement the new transmission line projects in the defined corridors.”
The Managing Director of the Mazandaran and Golestan Regional Electricity Company explained: For example, to establish a mast at 200 points on the Alameda and Mahmoudabad route for the construction of Alameda-Mahmoudabad circuit lines 4 and 6, more than 850 billion Tomans will be invested in order to provide balanced and high-quality electricity to subscribers, so in implementing this important project, we need the cooperation of the people and institutions in allocating land for the construction of these lines. He stated: In the past 2 years, 25% has been added to the capacities of Mazandaran power substations, and therefore their feeder lines must also be developed to compensate for the backlog of more than a decade. He added: Our goal is to excel among the West Asian power transmission service companies, and in this regard, we have measures to monitor, control, develop, and strengthen the network on our agenda. Currently, this year, the most important, smartest, and most modern control and monitoring system for the country’s super-distribution network was launched using a native knowledge-based SCADA system at the super-distribution dispatching center of the Mazandaran and Golestan Regional Electric Company in the city of Sari.
