Tower and rotor blade inspection of wind turbines In the area of ​​maintenance analysis, the efficient use of our drones not only saves time and money, the safety risk for people is also greatly reduced due to the safe operation. With the improved flight stability of the Matrice 210, we can safely inspect wind turbines in windy conditions . With a gimbal attached to the top of the aircraft, we can easily and safely inspect the underside of the rotor blade and record damage in the millimeter range. Our high-resolution zoom cameras enable us to carry out visual inspections from a greater distance
 



Carry out wind turbine , so that the risk of collision is minimized.


The advantages at a glance:

 

  • Elimination of the security risk, risky service calls become superfluous

  • Special distance sensors when inspecting a rotor

  • Cost reduction by reducing downtime

  • Reliable detection of damage and defects in the millimeter range

  • Photo and video documentation to determine necessary repairs or maintenance

  • live image transmission


Drone inspection of a tower on a wind turbine 

 

Inspection of high-voltage power lines using drones " Carry out inspections of important infrastructure with more safety and make routine operations faster overall" Precision and reliability enable the safe inspection of extensive power line networks from afar. When inspecting high-voltage power lines, the use of drones offers significant advantages over the use of helicopters or industrial climbers. Not only can time and money be saved, the security risk is also greatly reduced. Damage to the lines is not visible from the ground or only with difficulty. Our drones come with a high resolution zoom and
 

 


Equipped with a thermal imaging camera, this enables us to check the condition of the power line very precisely and to document damage or defects such as deformation of the vibration dampers or signs of rust.
In addition, inventories of the surroundings are possible: Trees or branches that come too close to the power lines over a long period of time can be detected at an early stage.


The advantages at a glance:

  • Control during operation

  • little logistical effort

  • cheap alternative to helicopters or mast climbing

  • fast results as well as immediate analysis

  • no security risk

  • Live image transmission and storage of photo and video data

  • Inventory of the area

Drones with thermal imaging cameras have become indispensable when inspecting photovoltaics and solar systems


In particular , open-space systems, so-called solar parks , can only be inspected with increased effort due to their large area The visual inspection of such solar parks is associated with extremely high costs, especially in financial and personnel terms. In contrast, drones with thermal imaging cameras are an efficient solution.
If individual modules do not work properly, this not only reduces the profit, in the worst case it can lead to overheating or a fire.
Dirty or defective modules are detected by the thermographic recordings of our thermal imaging camera and can be cleaned or replaced in a targeted manner.


Advantages of drones in the inspection of photovoltaic and solar systems :

 

  • can be used quickly, safely and effectively

  • More efficient yield performance

  • Live image transmission and storage of photo and video data

  • Minimizing security and liability risks

  • Documentation of damage and contamination
