New Delhi, Aug 29 () Sterlite Power on Thursday said it has pioneered a robotic technology for the installation of Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) on high voltage power transmission lines under energized (‘live-line’) conditions.
“For the first time in India, this method will be deployed to replace existing earth wire. Skyrob assisted operations for OPGW stringing will enhance safety and accelerate speed as well as quality of projects. Furthermore, Skyrob can perform visual inspection and health monitoring of existing earth wire and conductors of the transmission line,” a company statement said.
A reliable energy delivery system requires resilient infrastructure and the increasing complexity of Grid operations significantly necessitates dynamic monitoring of Grid conditions on a real-time basis.
