APG Explained-How Feasible Are Drones In The Energy Sector?https://medium.com/@deepaerodrones/apg-explained-how-feasible-are-drones-in-the-energy-sector-d2361971833fAustrian Power Grid (APG) operates the high-voltage grid in Austria with the voltage levels 110, 220 and 380kV. The field includes certain inspections, monitoring of vegetation and distances as well as 3D mapping. They have proved that how drone technology can be helpful in the energy sector.
Paul Zachoval, Operations Coordinator at APG, states that a lot of things have been changed in the grid-based energy sector and the emergence of UAV technology in the operations made a huge difference. One of the advantages of UAV’s has been to take photos and analyze them and this has also reduced the accident risk.
APG is open to the use of UAV’s in their operations and will encourage and motivate the people to start working with UAV’s and take risks for their own best practicable solution.
