HEISHA D135 autonomous drone dock for wind power plant inspection
Date: June 21, 2022
Location: Lingshan, Guangxi
Application: Powerline inspection
Coverage: 100 square kilometers
Device: Heisha D135 drone dock+DJI Matrice 300
93 wind turbine generators are installed in the wind power plant of Lingshan, which generates over 0.26 billion’ electricity in the first half of 2021, which equals the same electricity generated by 0.0845 million tons of coal, but without consuming 556.4 thousand tons of water nor bringing 99.65 tons of contaminant.
The maintenance work of these wind turbines is a big problem, especially after severe weather like a thunderstorm, strong wind, and heavy rain, to erase the potential hazard in the powerline. Traditionally, only monthly wind turbine inspections are taken due to the long-time and large-human resources consumed by each inspection.
“It takes about half a year to check the whole 93 wind turbine generators as it must be taken in the light wind days to not affect the whole electricity output.”
Mr. Li, the leader of the maintenance team
“This HEISHA D135 drone dock has thrilled us, one flight can take at least 30 videos for 30 wind turbines (500m between wind turbines, 10m/s flight speed of DJI M300), and we can shoot all the wind turbine inspection videos with three flights, and it only takes less than two hours! We don’t need to send several people to the site to do the inspection work anymore!”
With the participation of the D135 drone charging dock, even taking daily inspection of all the wind turbines is not a problem, the problem part can be detected and fixed in the shortest time, which leads to maximized electricity generation, the benefit is beyond imagination.
About D135
HEISHA D135 autonomous drone docking station is the world’s first automatic drone charging station for DJI M300. It combines automated drone flight, remote control, and real-time video capture functions altogether. Large drone landing size is one of its unique features, its robust canopy design allows it to be deployed outdoor, with the air conditioning system and T3 drone control tower, weather conditions and temperature adjustment are all under supervision, and the charging safety is taken care of in every aspect. Multiple controlling modules including the M100 monitoring unit, T00 IoT communication controlling unit, and K100 five-in-one drone charging control module, are all independently developed and upgraded for better performance.
