“…A climbing robot that uses wheels to travel along and inspect a single power line was described in [78]. Weighing 17.8 kg, this robot uses eddy current sensors to detect corrosion in live ACSR cables and was developed by Light SESA, a power distributor in Brazil.…”

“…The difference is that the vision technique detects types of debris (i.e. salt built up on lines, dust, smoke, and polluting winds) that lead to corrosion in [79], while the eddy technique was used to assess the coating thickness and can be applied on wet surfaces [78]. However, the vision system has less data collection and no real-time detection of faults, which in turn reduces the visual data collected on fault points.…”

“…It is crucial to note that the studies conducted in [78,79,80,81] obtained measurements and judgements of fault points only under normal weather conditions (a clear line of sight to operate properly), while the measurements and judgements were performed successfully under very challenging conditions (i.e. windy conditions up to 70 km{h, temperatures from´15˝C to`35˝C ) in [82].…”

Detection and prevention of faults in overhead electric lines is critical for the reliability and availability of electricity supply. The disadvantages of conventional methods range from cumbersome installations to costly maintenance and from lack of adaptability to hazards for human operators. Thus, transmission inspections based on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have been attracting the attention of researchers since their inception. This article provide a comprehensive review for the development of UAV technologies in the overhead electric power lines patrol process for monitoring and identifying faults, explores its advantages, and realizes the potential of the aforementioned method and how it can be exploited to avoid obstacles, especially when compared with the state-of-the-art mechanical methods. The review focuses on the development of advanced Learning Control strategies for higher manoeuvrability of the quadrotor. It also explores a suitable recharging strategies and motor control for improved mission autonomy.

“…When developing maintenance operations in energized electrical networks, the proximity between the liniero and the energized conductor requires the implementation of several shielding procedures. Shielding against the electric field is provided by the use of dielectrically shielded equipment, being highly effective as the low frequency electric field is relatively easy to protect [5]. It is essential to follow an effective overhead power line safety program, in which OSHA establishes as regulation, specific distances and requirements for this type of work and equipment, as well as for workers, OSHA1926, Subpart V power transmission and distribution; ANSI IEEE C2-National Electrical Safety Code (NESC), 1910.333(c) for work near exposed energized parts, and NFPA 70E2015 Standard for Electrical Safety in the workplace, Section 130.8 establishes equipment requirements [6].…”

The article presents the development of a multi-user application in virtual reality for the training and theoretical-practical training of electrical maintenance personnel in the operation of energized lines. The environment has a safety explanatory room in which users will know each of the rules and protocols applied to perform maintenance maneuvers and operation of energized lines, a realistic work area of the electrical power system that starts from hydroelectric generation and passes through transmission lines, subtransmission to reach substations that raise or reduce the voltage for subsequent distribution. The environment has been created using photogrammetry techniques, WorldComposer, CAD design tools, Unity 3D, DigSilent Power Factory and Matlab to provide realism of electrical system behavior, emulating failures and critical conditions caused by external and internal emergency events. Experimental tests show the efficiency of the system generated by human-machine interaction in which operators interact between themselves and the ambience, facilitate immersion in an environment that offers to contribute to the development of their risk-free collaborative skills and abilities.
