APLICAÇÃO DE INSPEÇÃO AÉREA EM REDE DE DISTRIBUIÇÃO

Abstract

Among the numerous job opportunities for electrical engineers, the segments involving the areas of generation, transmission, distribution, control, P & D and management stand out. Moreover, in these segments, one of the opportunities is the possibility of acting as a maintenance engineer in distribution companies. Looking at this market niche and focusing on the maintenance of the distribution networks, this work brings up a theme of fundamental importance and relevance for the electrician engineer trained with emphasis on Electrical Power System (SEP) and power electronics. This work has in its first chapters a bibliographical review on the types of distribution networks, their main components and the types of network inspections as well as their peculiarities. Then a case study of the application of aerial inspection in a distribution network, in the search for information and date, which may or may not validate the technical and economic viability of aircraft use in established network inspections, since this practice established in transmission lines. In the final chapters, the date mentioned above are present, which could solidify the conclusion about the feasibility of this type of inspection applied in air distribution networks.
