INTRODUCTION TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

General definition:

AI is the branch of computer science that is concerned with the automation of intelligent behavior.

OR SIMPLY

AI is the science of automating intelligent behaviors currently achievable by humans only.

Mobile monitoring of power system

• The mobile monitoring of power system means the controlling and maintenance of the plant by various automated means from a safe distance.

• To solve this task, multidisciplinary efforts are needed from fields such as sensing, signal processing, control, communications, optimization theory, and, more recently, robotics. • The developments in robotic maintenance for power systems indicate significant potential of this technological approach.

• The mobile monitoring of the power plant includes various sensors like Acoustic sensing, Fringing electric field sensing, and infrared sensing

Advantages of robots in power system maintenance

Replacing human workers for dangerous and highly specializedoperations, such as live maintenance of high-voltage transmissionlines, has been a long-standing effort in the powercommunity.

Line scout

Page 9: robotic monitoring of power system

Specifications of line scout robotThe three-axis robotic arm has been designed to reach the four conductors of a typical transmission line . One end of the arm is equipped witha point able camera and the other can hold a variety of tools for tasks such as:>> High quality visual inspection>> Infrared inspection>> Checking the condition of splices by measuring their electrical resistance>> Tightening and loosening bolted assemblies>> Temporary repair of broken conductor strands

Applications of Robots in nuclear power plants

• Other needs of robotics in power systems include operation in hazardous environments, such as radioactive locations in nuclear plants, access to tight spaces, such as cable viaducts and cooling pipes, and precise positioning of measurement equipment.• Therefore, one may expect that the mobile sensing

will play an increasingly important role in the monitoring of power systems.
