Inspection and Monitoring Technologies of Transmission Lines with Remote Sensing presents the world-class practices developed by the State Grid Corporation of China (the organization responsible for the world’s largest power transmission network) in solving the challenges of maintaining and guaranteeing the reliability of transmission lines, given the physical size, geographical, and climate variance to which high-voltage transmission lines in China are subject. These monitoring strategies have widespread application in view of the increasing global demand for energy and the need to improve power grid vulnerability from both external and internal factors. The remote sensing technologies outlined will improve mitigation capability enabling the identification of threats in good time to maintain a safe and reliable operation of transmission lines.Key Features• Organized in five sections, covering power line fundamentals, remote sensing technologies, inspection technologies, fault detection technologies, and on-line monitoring• Covers current and developing technologies, including satellite remote sensing technology, infrared and ultraviolet detection technology, helicopter inspection technology, and condition monitoring technology• Covers operational and technical principles, as well as equipment used in transmission line inspection and monitoring, with a focus on practical equipment and systems parameters to ensure secure operation and maintenance of transmission lines.Inspection and Monitoring Technologies of Transmission Lines with Remote Sensing provides authoritative guidance for those working in transmission line operation and high-voltage engineering works and power grid planning enabling them to deliver control technologies that ensure safe and consistent transmission operation.
