Scope: This document specifies the general requirements and system overview and functions of intelligent drone inspections for substations, as well as requirements for intelligent inspections, image and data analysis and processing, etc. This document is applicable to intelligent drone inspections of substations. Main technical content: Substations are important power infrastructure that ensure the operation of cities and people's lives. In the power system, substations play a crucial role in transforming and distributing electrical energy, and their safe operation is directly related to the continuous and stable operation of the entire power system. With the gradual maturity of intelligent inspection technologies such as dynamic carrier phase differential positioning, intelligent obstacle avoidance, and image intelligent recognition, intelligent drone inspections of substations have achieved functions such as intelligent route planning, automatic inspection operations, and intelligent data collection and processing. This can effectively fill the blind spots in the inspection of high-altitude equipment in substations and greatly improve the safety of substations. Given that there are currently no standard specifications for this technology, this standard has been developed. This standard is the basis for the promotion and application of intelligent drone inspection technology for substations, and it scientifically and reasonably specifies the composition, general requirements, intelligent inspections, and image and data analysis and processing of intelligent drone inspection systems for substations. This standard is applicable to intelligent drone inspections of substations. This standard is issued for the first time.
