Electricity is transferred from the transmission system to the final user via distribution lines. Ordinarily, distribution voltages are moved across short distances in a range of 4 kV to 35 kV. Aerial and Thermal Surveys of distribution lines is a service provided by DATA PKT using AI/ML-integrated drones, generating accurate, inexpensive, useful, and efficient data.

DATA PKT employs specially created drones that can withstand strong electromagnetic forces and are outfitted with Dual Gimbal systems that simultaneously provide an ultra-high-resolution 360-degree view and thermal images.

In our drone surveys of distribution lines we provide Surveys of pillars, conductors, insulators, ROW(rights of way), span losses, Go switches, Split pins, nut bolts, cross arms and stays of distribution lines.

Drones with artificial intelligence (AI) are employed in distribution lines to estimate demand, analyse the reliability of the state's power plant, and find defects in the smart grid and power systems.

Deliverable: We provide site topography survey reports with electricity pillar installation and condition feasibility, Higher-resolution visual images of grids, poles, and other components. Elevation data, Contour map of the site and 3D Model with cloud point.

Drones are being used by solar power plants to give an airborne perspective that enables quicker diagnosis of damaged solar panels. Drones equipped with dual-mode high-end thermal cameras and ultra-high-definition video cameras with 16x zoom offer temperature differences and crisp images for quick identification of defective panels, cracks, or shadows. This technology reduces inspection time significantly, allowing for faster maintenance responses and minimized downtime. As a result, solar power plants can maintain optimal efficiency and output.

By utilizing drone technology for solar plant inspections, DATA PKT significantly reduces inspection costs by 30 to 50 percent compared to traditional methods.

Our services provide detailed topological maps and thermograms, identifying issues such as hot spots, cracked panels, and bypass diode failures, enabling prompt maintenance and optimization of solar plant performance.

Deliverables: include geotagged high-resolution visible and thermal infrared images, Orth mosaics with elevation data and AI/ML-based analytics for quick analysis and provide plant efficiency reports.

Drones play a crucial role in enhancing safety and efficiency at nuclear power stations by providing an effective means of managing potential leaks and assessing equipment integrity without exposing personnel to dangerous levels of radiation. Following natural disasters and weather events, such as hurricanes or earthquakes, nuclear power stations may face structural damage or operational disruptions. In these situations, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for inspections can minimize efficiency losses by 6 to 8%, compared to traditional manual inspections. This is particularly significant considering the potential catastrophic consequences of even minor damage to nuclear facilities.

Unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with specialized sensors and cameras can access areas that are difficult or dangerous for humans to reach, such as rooftops, cooling towers, and reactor containment structures. They can provide high-resolution imagery and data in real-time, allowing operators to quickly identify any issues or anomalies. Additionally, drones can be deployed rapidly, reducing the time required to assess the situation and implement necessary repairs or maintenance activities.

Deliverable: We provide site topography survey reports with environmental impact assessment reports, Higher-resolution visual images, Ortho-mosaic, Digital surface models, Digital terrain models with elevation data, a Contour map of the site and 3D Models with cloud points.

Hydropower Plant

Drone inspections offer the advantage of capturing high-resolution imagery and data, allowing for more detailed analysis of dam structures and identifying potential issues at an early stage. The agility and maneuverability of drones enable them to access hard-to-reach areas, such as steep slopes or areas obscured by vegetation, enhancing the comprehensiveness of inspections. Moreover, the use of drones reduces the need for manual labor and scaffolding, resulting in cost savings and increased safety for personnel. By leveraging cutting-edge drone technology, hydropower facilities can enhance their maintenance practices and ensure the continued security and structural integrity of their dams.

The topographical survey of the dam site, reservoir area, power channel, and tunnel provides essential data for project planning and construction. Surface and subsurface examination yield crucial insights into geological formations, aiding in the identification of potential hazards such as fractures and subsurface features. This information guides the design and construction of spillway gates, tunnels, and surge tanks at penstocks. Moreover, it helps in assessing concrete deterioration, ensuring structural integrity. Accurate data on gate alignments enhances operational efficiency and safety. Overall, comprehensive topographical and geological surveys are indispensable for ensuring the successful and sustainable development of hydroelectric projects.

Deliverable: DATA PKT provides Ortho-mosaic, Thermal and LiDAR imagery in the required format and AI/ML-based analytics for decision-making of plant efficiency.
