Routine inspection of a power transmission line (PTL) system for early fault detection and
maintenance is crucial for efficient transmission of electric power to consumers. Unlike the …

The overhead transmission line system is one of the methods of transmitting electrical
energy at a high voltage from one point to another, especially over long distances. The …

The early detection of damaged (partially broken) outdoor insulators in primary distribution
systems is of paramount importance for continuous electricity supply and public safety …

Drone autonomous operations near power lines are growing steadily and require innovative
techniques to keep them on air. This paper presents a novel electromechanical recharging …

Abstract Overhead Power Distribution Lines (OPDLs) correspond to a large percentage of
the medium-voltage electrical systems. In these networks, visual inspection activities are …

Detection and prevention of faults in overhead electric lines is critical for the reliability and
availability of electricity supply. The disadvantages of conventional methods range from …

The operation of energy transmission lines with high efficiency without failure has great
importance in today's electricity-dependent world. Problems that may occur in electricity …
