Power Line Inspection
• Inspect tower structure
Detect cracks, deterioration
Read lot codes/serial numbers
• Inspect insulator
Locate broken insulators
Detect contamination
• Inspect fastening hardware
Locate cotter pins
Count exposed bolt threads
Challenges of Power line Inspection
• Remote and hard to reach structures
• High-value infrastructure
cost of failure is extraordinary
• Using manned aircraft or manual towers
inspection can be:
Expensive
Dangerous
Limited by ability to get close to structure
Challenges (cont’d)
• High electrical potential (kV) in power lines
Risk for proximate people/objects
Potential flashover
• Magnetic interference
• Obstacles
Towers & power lines
Increase risk during operations especially beyond
line of sight
Overcoming the Challenges
• The Hard Way - Close proximity
Multiple sensors – obstacle avoidance, etc
Very precise positioning – skilled pilots
High resolution, wide FOV imagery
• The Right Way
Maintain reasonable standoff distance
HDZoom30
Solution Profile
• SkyRanger with HDZoom30
 Safe standoff distance
 Clear, precise, detailed imagery
 Ease of use
• Class-leading endurance
 On station longer
 Capture more imagery
 Operate further from launch
• Class-leading wind and environmental tolerance
 High altitude
 Operations are not constrained by wind/weather
Take-off location
The Tower
Inspection Scenario
• 500 kV live power line
• 400m from operator
Standoff distance 7m
Reading Serial Numbers
Dave Kroetsch, Aeryon
Example 2
• ~1000 ft (300m) away
• On top of a mountain
• Standoff of 65ft (20m)

Chemical plants
Common Challenges
Cell phone towers
Flare stacks
Pipelines
FAA Approved Applications
• Multiple FAA 333 Exemptions
Flare stack (on and offshore)
Power line
Plant inspection
• State-wide blanket COAs
Inspection Applications Worldwide

Aeryon Labs Inc. • Founded in 2007, Aeryon Scout sUAS since 2009 • Aeryon SkyRanger sUAS introduced in 2013 • Aeryon HDZoom30 Payload - 2015 • Global Customers – Comm’l, Public Safety, Military Archeology Dig in Saskatchewan Stellar Sea Lions in Bering Sea Libyan Rebels Tripoli Advance BP Oil Spill Response US Coast Guard Fuel Delivery Mapping Christ the Redeemer Statue
  • 5. Aeryon Philosophy Anyone Can Fly • Intuitive touchscreen navigation & camera control • Advanced automated features, fail-safes • Minimal training Fly Anywhere, Anytime • Single user transport, deployment, operation • Integrated payloads & industry solutions • Reliable in high winds & extreme weather conditions
  • 7. Aeryon SkyRanger • 50 minute flight time • Wind Tolerance o 40mph/65kmh sustained o 55mph/90kmh gusts • All-weather o -22 to 122oF (-30 to 50oC) • 5.3 lbs (2.4 kg)
  • 8. Easy-to-use, minimal training Simple system status display Single operator control Pre-planned flight paths or ad-hoc GPS camera targeting Touchscreen map-based navigation Real-time digital video
  • 9. Power Line Inspection • Inspect tower structure Detect cracks, deterioration Read lot codes/serial numbers • Inspect insulator Locate broken insulators Detect contamination • Inspect fastening hardware Locate cotter pins Count exposed bolt threads
  • 10. Challenges of Power line Inspection • Remote and hard to reach structures • High-value infrastructure cost of failure is extraordinary • Using manned aircraft or manual towers inspection can be: Expensive Dangerous Limited by ability to get close to structure
  • 11. Challenges (cont’d) • High electrical potential (kV) in power lines Risk for proximate people/objects Potential flashover • Magnetic interference • Obstacles Towers & power lines Increase risk during operations especially beyond line of sight
  • 12. Overcoming the Challenges • The Hard Way - Close proximity Multiple sensors – obstacle avoidance, etc Very precise positioning – skilled pilots High resolution, wide FOV imagery • The Right Way Maintain reasonable standoff distance
  • 14. Solution Profile • SkyRanger with HDZoom30  Safe standoff distance  Clear, precise, detailed imagery  Ease of use • Class-leading endurance  On station longer  Capture more imagery  Operate further from launch • Class-leading wind and environmental tolerance  High altitude  Operations are not constrained by wind/weather
  • 15. Take-off location The Tower Inspection Scenario • 500 kV live power line • 400m from operator
  • 18. Example 2 • ~1000 ft (300m) away • On top of a mountain • Standoff of 65ft (20m)
  • 25. Common Challenges Mirrored in other industries: Solar farms Wind power generation Chemical plants
  • 26. Common Challenges Cell phone towers Flare stacks Pipelines
  • 27. FAA Approved Applications • Multiple FAA 333 Exemptions Flare stack (on and offshore) Power line Plant inspection • State-wide blanket COAs
