CHALLENGES:
Energy transmission system of Bangladesh is not yet modernized
The power grid becomes more congested as Bangladesh's economy grows
SOLUTION
Less swing
Aluminum Conductor Composite Core (ACCC®)
• Less right of way needed
• Carries more current
• Longer span between support structures • CO2 emissions reduction
• More durable and resilient
Drone
to scour the grid network for damage
• Improve system reliability
• Higher safety for workers
• Reduce operations and maintenance cost • Provide digitalization solution
NEXT STEPS
Procurement of drones and associated software and hardware for the drone center; and bidding of EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) contracts for the cable-associated work
Establishment of Drone Operations Center in Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB)
1 3
2 Preparation of rules and regulations about drone use
4 Training of PGCB sta in cable and drone use
