Research on Operation and Control of Power Grid UAVs Based on Digital Airspace

The traditional power grid management method has been difficult to meet the high standard requirements of modern power grid operation. The unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have been applied more and more widely in power inspection and maintenance, facing the challenges of safety and efficiency brought by the large-scale application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), The development of digital airspace technology provides an innovative solution for the application of UAVs in power grid operation management and control. Based on the digital airspace, this study discusses the key technologies and strategies for the operation and control of UAVs in the power grid, aiming to build a safe and efficient UAVs operation and management system. This paper analyzes the challenges faced by the operation control of electric UAVs, discusses the technical architecture and application scenarios of digital airspace technology in this field, and finally puts forward suggestions on the operation control strategy of UAVs based on digital airspace.

Abstract

The traditional power grid management method has been difficult to meet the high standard requirements of modern power grid operation. The unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have been applied more and more widely in power inspection and maintenance, facing the challenges of safety and efficiency brought by the large-scale application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), The development of digital airspace technology provides an innovative solution for the application of UAVs in power grid operation management and control. Based on the digital airspace, this study discusses the key technologies and strategies for the operation and control of UAVs in the power grid, aiming to build a safe and efficient UAVs operation and management system. This paper analyzes the challenges faced by the operation control of electric UAVs, discusses the technical architecture and application scenarios of digital airspace technology in this field, and finally puts forward suggestions on the operation control strategy of UAVs based on digital airspace.
