Path Planning and Simulation of Helicopter Power Patrolling

Abstract

The line patrolling work of power grids at all levels is one of the important parts to ensure the safety of the power grid. The construction, operation, maintenance and support services of the power line of different voltage levels are carried out by helicopters. By analyzing the core workflow of the navigable power line, the constraint relationship between the maximum number of patrol miles in the single day and the distance of the patrol point is clarified. On this basis, the model of the navigation line for the single airport is constructed, and the model solution based on the ant colony algorithm and the maximum and minimum ant system algorithm is given. The experimental results based on the actual operational data of the general aviation show that the proposed model can solve the planning problem of helicopter patrolling line better, and the optimal solution provides decision support for the business department.
