01
Development of AI software for analyzing photos to assess the condition of metallic components of electricity transmission pylons.
Corrosion in metallic electricity transmission pylons affects their lifespan and poses significant operational risks, such as:
Monitoring and assessing the health status, as well as identifying problems for repair, of the extensive pylon network of the National Transmission System is a high priority for IPTO. The recording of the condition using aerial means by IPTO has significantly contributed to this process.
IPTO wishes to explore the adoption of tools to support decision-making, to reduce the time for collecting and managing significant volumes of data, and for the digitization of assets. Summarizing the objectives of this challenge for IPTO:
The competition aims at the development of a software tool for the detection and assessment of the degree and the recording of corrosion points on metallic elements of electricity transmission pylons.
The technological readiness level of this application after 6 months of implementation is expected to be at TRL-5/6.
The application will offer at least the following:
Artificial intelligence and machine learning:
Data set photos accompanied by the relevant corrosion information.
It will be determined during the formation of the cooperation framework for the development of the functional prototype.
Phase A: Proposal submission and evaluation period
Phase B: Implementation of functional prototype in 06 months
02
Staff training for field work in electricity substations using virtual reality (VR) technologies.
The most efficient training of new technical staff on the equipment elements of a substation as well as on safe approach and movement within it with new methods and technologies such as virtual reality (VR) is a priority for IPTO. With the use of realistic simulations, parameterized scenarios and practice training through VR enhances the assimilation of safety issues, the readiness and overall capability of field personnel, while simultaneously reducing the chances of accidents and promoting a safer working environment.
IPTO’s goal is to provide high-standard technical training to new employees, as well as continuous training in new and existing technologies. The establishment of the new Training Center aims to maintain and enhance the know-how of the technical staff. Summarizing the objectives of this challenge for IPTO, the adoption of such new training methods will lead to:
The competition aims at submitting proposals for the implementation of a virtual reality (VR) application concerning the training of technical staff for field work, specifically in electricity substations.
The technological readiness level of this application after 6 months of implementation is expected to be at TRL-5/6.
The application will offer at least the following:
Safe access procedures to Substations and data of typical Substation equipment
It will be determined during the formation of the cooperation framework for the development of the functional prototype
Phase A: Proposal submission and evaluation period
Phase B: Implementation of functional prototype in 06 months
