Renewable Energy

In the renewable energy sector, we support our customers in achieving maximum cost effectiveness

With the use of unmanned aerial vehicles during the inspection, we minimize the installation downtime and allow our customers to fully utilize the production capacity. The reporting system allows the owners to control the technical condition of energy plants and efficient allocation of resources. Data gathered within the report helps to make the neccessary decisions on maintenance and repairs.

Customer Benefits


 Cost reduction – there is no need to use specialistic, expensive equipment; to set up a scaffolding or using lifts
 Time-saving – minimizing the time required for inspection
 Time saved during preparation – preliminary visual inspection, an estimate of repair costs
 Early damage detection - ability to take neccessary actions - avoidance of costly failures
 Optimal human resources allocation - service technicians directed only to damaged units
 Lower costs allow for more frequent checkouts


 Reducing or eliminating the neccessity to work at heights
 Reducing the risk of working near electrical installations
 Minimal risk of damaging the installation


 Possibility of storing the data along with photo and video documentation and analysis over time
 4K quality video footage and high-resolution photo material
 Immediate evaluation of the situation
 Possibility of the inspection to be directed by the customer - live streaming from drone to the technician

 

Wind energy plants

We offer a solution, which will help you optimize the process of controlling the wind farm. A detailed report with recommendation of actions is delivered after the inspection. We are able to locate the damage occurring on the blade and inspect the blade up to 4 times faster than using traditional methods. This kind of inspection is performed on a turned off turbine.

We identify

  • errosion of the leading edge
  • occurrence of cracks, delamination and dirt
  • roughness of the surface
  • visual state of lightning protection system receptors
  • the state of paint/anticorrosive/gel coating
  • the state of intersegmental joints
 

Photovoltaic installations

We perform checkout flights of photovoltaic panels with thermal imaging. The control is run on enabled installation, alike with traditional methods, but is several times faster. Using a drone also eliminates the risk of shading caused by the operator of a thermal camera.

We identify

  • hot spots
  • occurrence of damage, dirt
  • shadings
  • change of color of the space around the cells
  • degradation of the EVA layer
