Research on autonomous inspection technology of UAV in distribution network line

This paper studies the autonomous inspection technology of UAV in distribution network line, and develops the integrated management and control system (IMCS) of UAV autonomous inspection. Firstly, according to the characteristics of distribution network line inspection task and the constraints of UAV endurance, a path planning model is constructed, and a heuristic algorithm which can quickly solve the model is designed. Then, the IMCS is designed and implemented. Finally, the effectiveness of the IMCS is verified by the UAV's autonomous inspection of the distribution network line of Yuncheng City. The results show that the model and algorithm proposed in this paper can quickly plan the inspection path of UAV, and IMCS can effectively support UAV to complete the autonomous inspection task of distribution network lines.
