Utilization of drone for safe and effective distribution line inspection - Research Project: (Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering) - Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, 2022
ABSTRACT: Drones have been and employed in a variety of fields in recent years. This is owing to their capacity to be controlled remotely and their ability to fly at various distances and heights, making them ideal candidates for some of the world’s most difficult occupations. Electrical professionals work is one of the vocations that could benefit from drone assistance, as they utilize drones to investigate some hazardous electrical zones without putting themselves in danger. This gives much-needed safety in the field of electrical engineering. Drone technology is yet another step forward in enhancing linemen and other electrical workers safety. The goal of this research is to develop an unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) with electrical measuring instruments that will help electrical practitioners, particularly in the distribution sector, improve their efficiency and workflow. Furthermore, the goal of this research is to increase lineworker safety in the field of electrical power distribution while performing tests and inspection on the distribution line. After a series of test flights and the actual testing of the equipment, the result showed that (1) the drone will be useful and effective for the lineman when inspecting the distribution line because the data showed that the drone and its equipment are functioning with minimal discrepancy compared to a handheld instrument. (2) After the application of flyback converter and testing the equipment on a high voltage setting, the researchers concluded that the drone was safe enough to inspect or work near a high system since there was no occurrence of spark over during testing. (3) The researchers then concluded that the drone can effectively gather data while on flight and during an inspection. There had been same problems regarding stability, but the design looks promising with some further enhancements.
