Utility drones are used to monitor power generation and distribution infrastructure. They are equipped with high-resolution infrared cameras that can take highly detailed images of power generation and distribution infrastructure. This is a very important process for protecting the equipment from vandalism and natural accidents that may harm the equipment and knock out the power generation capacity. The increasing investment in power generation and distribution infrastructure from governments around the world is likely to be a major driver for the global utility drones market over the forecast period. Utility drones equipped with infrared cameras can also take pictures of overheating equipment, as the thermal signature would get registered in the infrared cameras. This makes utility drones doubly useful for power generation and distribution projects.
