This invention provides a method and
system for detecting faults in distribution network lines based on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) inspection, belonging to the field of
power grid fault detection and identification technology. The method includes: determining a
target line based on line anomaly information and obtaining the path information of the
target line; dispatching a UAV to inspect along the
target line direction, obtaining
magnetic field measurements, UAV position data, and the distance between the UAV and the target line, thus obtaining a
magnetic field sampling sequence; constructing a
magnetic field distribution map along the target line based on the preprocessed magnetic field sampling sequence; determining suspected anomaly locations, fault types, and fault location information based on the magnetic field distribution map, and outputting the magnetic field distribution map, fault type, and fault location information to a display terminal for display. This method enables rapid inspection of
abnormal distribution network lines, achieving identification of suspected anomaly locations, fault type discrimination, fault location information determination, and visual display, thereby improving the efficiency of distribution network line fault inspection and maintenance.
