Power Line Conditions in Siberia and the Russian Far East to Be Monitored From Space
The initiative is covered by an agreement between PJSC Rosseti Siberia and JSC Russian Space Systems.
PJSC Rosseti Siberia and JSC Russian Space Systems have signed a cooperation agreement that calls for using Earth remote-sensing technologies to monitor the condition of power lines. The initiative will focus on the Siberian and Far Eastern federal districts, which have challenging climate conditions and extensive power-line networks.
Particular attention will be paid to testing products that process satellite imagery and developing technical approaches for different environments, including hard-to-reach areas and regions with challenging natural and climatic conditions.
The agreement will initially be implemented through a pilot project. At selected sites, the teams will use satellite imagery to conduct a detailed assessment of power-line rights-of-way and the condition of cleared corridors, identifying trees and shrubs, buildings and large structures, as well as areas where timber has been stored or stockpiled.
