To ensure reliable power supply, grid companies need to inspect their grid at least once a year to identify high risk trees, damaged poles, and transmission lines. This is a costly and time consuming task, especially in remote areas. Here the vegetation management teams often face complicated terrain, making inspections with drones and helicopters more difficult. In tropical regions, teams struggle with rapid regrowth requiring inspections several times per year driving costs up. Furthermore, the amount of resources available to do the inspections is limited. This may lead the grid companies not to reach reliability expectations. GridEyeS improves the scale, frequency and cost efficiency by creating a prioritized list of actions to execute aided by AI and satellites.
