Customer Background

A national grid company operates over 50,000 km of high-voltage lines, mostly through mountains, hills, and rivers. Manual inspection is inefficient, labor-intensive, and hazardous.

Key Challenges

• Strong electromagnetic fields around lines demand high anti-EMI performance.

• Long continuous operation requires high endurance.

• Complex terrain needs stable low-altitude flight and precision control.

• Flexible configuration for different voltage levels.

Solution

Luminex delivered a High-Voltage Transmission Line Inspection Specialized Drone Power System Solution:

• Strong anti-EMI power design for stable operation in 500kV environments.

• Ultra-long-endurance battery for 120 minutes per flight.

• Precision control for stable hovering within 1 meter of lines.

• Modular components for flexible configuration.

Quantified Outcomes

• Inspection efficiency improved 5×, up to 80 km per drone daily.

• Defect detection rate rose from 70% to 98%, reducing grid risks.

• Inspector labor intensity reduced by 80%, eliminating high-altitude hazards.

• Overall inspection cost reduced by 70%.
