Abstract


Verification of electrical lines and their infrastructure is an essential activity to ensure the undisturbed operation of the electrical grid and supply energy to final consumers. Performing the survey work in safety is the primary objective of the inspection teams and with this doctoral program to create tools that help in this task. For this purpose, the development of versatile monitoring systems to inspect high voltage overhead lines represents an invaluable element for the maintenance of these, for corrective actions and especially preventive.
