Technical and Market analysis of Gimbal Sensor Systems

This project is a 5 month due diligence analysis by ARCAA and CRCSI researchers as part of ROAMES research for Ergon Energy . It involves the use of gimbal sensor systems mounted on an aeroplane for still image or video data capturing of power poles or other assets. The sheer size of Ergon’s network, which is over 1 million power poles, is a major incentive to conduct research into more efficient and cost-effective ways of condition monitoring. Frequent airborne condition monitoring of assets allows for better maintenance management strategies and will increase the safety and reliability of the power supply.
