Abstract. Unmanned aircraft systems make it possible to perform routine and emergency diagnostics of electric power facilities faster and cheaper than traditional methods of inspection with the help of teams of workers. Transition to the new technology requires a deep study of unmanned aerial vehicles available on the market and selection of optimal devices for diagnosing various elements of power grids. There are many ways to obtain information on defects in electrical power facilities. The inspection results largely depend on the equipment used in the unmanned aircraft system. Various types of devices designed to obtain information from unmanned aerial vehicles are considered, and conclusions are drawn about their optimal choice for solving certain problems of diagnosing of power grids elements.
Keywords: unmanned aircraft systems, high-resolution camera, thermal imaging, ultraviolet flaw detector, laser rangefinder, ground-penetrating radar, electric power facilities, defects in power facilities
