Drones in the energy sector
Maximum Efficiency and ROI with Drones
1 + 1 = 3. With drones, a lot of data is collected, providing significant benefits to companies in the energy sector.
Wind turbine blades are exposed to all types of weather conditions daily, and the composites are attacked by elements such as sand and salt. Early detection of emerging damages prevents enormous financial consequences due to downtime (loss of production) and blades that need to be replaced in often hard-to-reach locations.
Solar panels must perform well to achieve high returns. Most solar parks are challenging to inspect due to their size and location. A drone can quickly and safely take (thermal) photos at the right height and from the right angle.
Sustainable Through Drones
The terms energy transition, sustainability and savings are now often mentioned together. The government's climate plans put significant pressure on various sectors. Companies in the energy industry are also busy with sustainability efforts. Opportunities in the energy sector vary widely, ranging from generating energy with wind turbines to utilizing waste heat from industry.
Droones and energy, a smart combination.
Using drones, you can efficiently inspect wind turbine blades. The collected data is processed using Artificial Intelligence, allowing you to deploy personnel and maintenance smartly and efficiently, thereby guaranteeing maximum returns.
Drones enable you to inspect the blades faster, more efficiently, and more safely. In a single flight, you gather multiple types of data that provide added value. This data delivers crucial information for stakeholders, offering actionable insights into the current condition of their assets. This ensures well-founded decisions backed by solid evidence.
The energy transition requires innovation to swiftly obtain, integrate and analyze the right data.
Energytransition using dronedata
Green energy is rapidly gaining ground. Look at the pace at which new wind and solar parks are being constructed across the country. Wind turbine blades are characterized by their size and shape. To optimally generate energy, the aerodynamics of a turbine blade must be at its best. Even minor damages can lead to efficiency loss or worse.
Before the use of drones, inspections were costly, time-consuming, and risky. However, the reliability and speed with which a drone collects data have made these challenges a thing of the past.
