RTE is the French transmission system operator. As a public utility company, its mission is to operate, maintain and develop the network of high and ultra-high voltage lines. RTE must guarantee the proper operation and safety of the electricity network, while ensuring free and fair access to all users of this network. It transports electricity between power suppliers (French and European) and consumers, whether they are electricity distributors or manufacturers directly connected to the transmission network. As part of the R&D Asset Management Programme, the Network Inspection Automation roadmap is working on improving the efficiency of network inspection with the use of automated data acquisition and analysis. To achieve its objectives, RTE defined 2 work package : Work package1 - data acquisition with helicopters & Work package 2 - automated detection of equipment and anomalies. RTE est le gestionnaire du réseau de transport d'électricité français. Entreprise de service public, il a pour mission d'exploiter, d'entretenir et de développer le réseau de lignes à haute et très haute tension. RTE doit garantir le bon fonctionnement et la sécurité du réseau électrique, tout en assurant un accès libre et équitable à tous les utilisateurs de ce réseau. Il achemine l'électricité entre les fournisseurs d'électricité (français et européens) et les consommateurs, qu'ils soient distributeurs d'électricité ou industriels directement raccordés au réseau de transport. Dans le cadre du programme R&D Asset Management, la feuille de route Network Inspection Automation vise à améliorer l'efficacité de l'inspection du réseau grâce à l'acquisition et à l'analyse automatisées des données. Pour atteindre ses objectifs, RTE a défini 2 lots de travail : Lot 1 - services d'acquisition de données sous hélicoptères & Lot 2 - détection automatisée d'équipements et d'anomalies.
Documents not listed
Work package 1 - Data acquisition with helicopters
Work package 1 - Data acquisition with helicopters aims to cover a wide range of needs in terms of data acquisition to foster the development of automated inspection solutions: - Conduct acquisition flights above power lines or substations with helicopters to acquire a wide range of data: photographs, LiDAR data, IR, IV, videos, 360° photo, etc. - Test different flight configurations to acquire data (height, position, speed). - Data annotation. - Blurring of sensitive data for RGPD compliance (faces, car plates, sensitive information, etc.). - Help RTE identify and integrate high-capacity payloads on helicopters (for both external flights and flights using RTE’s helicopters).
Work package 2 - Automated detection of equipment and anomalies
Work package 2 - Automated detection of equipment and anomalies: -Developing specific machine learning models to meet RTE's needs (anomaly detection, equipment recognition, 360° photos/videos, LIDAR data processing); -Increasing the maturity of AI data processing: data volumes, infrastructures, model training and testing, potential drifts, etc.; -Provide input for the development of a data/AI industrial strategy: industrial architecture, continuation with external developments or in-house development, etc.
