Research

Research topic "Automatic assembly and disassembly of sensor nodes on power poles".

PrognoNetz project

The strong expansion of renewable energies (wind energy in northern Germany and photovoltaics in the south), together with increased international electricity trading, is already pushing electricity transmission grids to their limits. In contrast, the need for new lines can be significantly reduced through effective measures to make better use of the existing grids. Depending on weather conditions (ambient temperature, solar radiation, wind speed and direction), for example, the transmission capacity can be significantly increased compared to the conservative provisions of the relevant standard.
However, the development of an area-wide meteorological network, which is located sufficiently close to the overhead lines and records the weather conditions there using intelligent sensor nodes, results in a great deal of time and expense. A simpler and faster installation approach is being developed for the PrognoNetz, whereby the sensor nodes are automatically installed and removed from the electricity pylons using unmanned aerial vehicles. This method also enables camera-based inspection of the pylon structure, connections, insulators and conductor cables without the need for climbing.
