Powerlines
Powerlines are exposed to multiple natural hazards. Monitoring is a critical tool for preventing service disruptions, however, their vast extent and sometimes difficult access present a challenge for thorough and timely inspections. As extreme climate events become more common, geohazards, wildfires, and wind risks become more critical to identify and mitigate.
Based on satellite technology, KorrAI detects millimeter-level displacements of powerline towers and their surrounding terrain and keeps track of potentially disruptive vegetation growth to help take mitigation actions such as ground stabilization and optimized pruning.
Monitoring features and technology:
Ground stability monitoring
Ground subsidence, heaving, and landslides threaten the grid reliability.
Using satellite radars (InSAR), KorrAI measures millimeter-level displacement and soil moisture content in the ground to accurately and timely alert of geohazard risks.
Vegetation monitoring
If uncontrolled, vegetation can interfere with powerline operations and increase wildfire risk.
KorrAI uses satellite data to monitor vegetation growth and health to alert of potential visual obstructions, grow-in and fall-in risks.
