To ensure reliable electric power distribution, periodically
inspection of power line infrastructures is necessary and important. For
decades, much effort has been focused on automating power line
inspection processed. Compared with manned helicopter inspection,
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have so far been a very good approach.
UAV for this appliance has to be highly professional and easy to operate
as well. And this is exactly what MMC X6 drone for power cable inspection can do.
- Long Flight Time
EHV transmission lines are generally tens or hundreds of kilometers
in length. For multi-angle observation, hovering and circling around the
tower is necessary. To complete the inspections within one or several
flights, the aircraft has to have a long flight time and maximum range
should cover 50 km and at least 5 km voyage distance. MMC X6 Drone with
its maxim 30 minutes cruising time and 6m/s speed. It can cover about
8km power lines within one flight.
- Anti Wind Operation
EHV transmission lines mostly lie between high ranges and less
populated area. Landscape and weather are tough there, especially up
high in the air. To accomplish power line inspection in this situation,
it’s vital that the aircraft be highly resistant to wind. MMC X6 drones,
anti 5-grade wind, is capable to function in 9m/s wind.
- High Altitude Flight
Transmission and distribution line constructions are designed
accordantly with the topography. In mountainous areas, altitude varies
and the relative height is nearly fixed. So this unmanned
vehicle should be adaptable to high altitude and keep stable relative
flying heights. With maximum 4500m above sea altitude, MMC X6 drone can
be flexible to operate, quite qualified to work in mountainous and high
altitude areas.
- Sufficient Payload Capacity
To meet the requirements of line inspection, the aircraft should have
sufficient payload capacity to carry monitoring equipment and
accessories.
- Detect and Analyze Potential Faults and Damage
With 20-30km/h flying speed, of 45° oblique angle above the
distribution lines, the aircraft stays about 50m away from the lines.
Equipped with 3D stabilization gimbal, the drone system will
automatically follow the target and carry out close observation. With HD
camera and real time data transmission, potential faults or damages
will be detected. Hovering and half-circling around in air, it will take
a close observation and analysis of the faults or damage.
- Real Time Data Transmission
With GPS signals positioning, 2.4g control, and 5.8G video
transmission system, the vehicle can achieve real-time manipulation and
accurate hovering. With GS and extended antenna, reliable data
transmission distance can reach 10km or more.
- Easy and Low- cost Maintenance
For the convenience of the users, the arms of the drone can be
folded, easy to assemble and dismantle. Most parts are replaceable as
well.
Remark: To ensure the safety, this aircraft should maintain a safe distance of 20-150m away from the transmission lines.
