The NOMAD lands on a live conductor, charges from the line, and keeps measuring from there for weeks. This is the short version of what we showed at TenneT Innovation Days, and the fastest way to start a project with us. We are already monitoring grids at TenneT, Westnetz and Amprion.
Fixed sensors are continuous but stay in one place. Aerial surveys cover the whole line but only on survey days.
The NOMAD fills the gap between static sensors and seasonal inspections.
Continuous in time, at one point. Blind everywhere else on the site.
The whole site, on survey days. Blind between the flights.
Wherever you need, continuously. Measure at any position in your grid for weeks or months, relocating drones as needed.
Any drone pilot places it on a live circuit in under five minutes. No outage, no bucket truck, no specialised crew.
The conductor is the power source, so the drone stays out on the grid for weeks instead of hours.
Conductor temperature, current, line angle and imagery, captured on the wire and streamed to your dashboard.
When the measurement gap moves, the drone moves with it and starts the cycle again somewhere else.

Continuous data
Current measured on the conductor tracks the substation metering for the same circuit through a full week of load swings.
Across 1,629 hours, the CIGRE TB 601 estimate ran 1.52 °C warm on average against our measured conductor temperature, with an RMSE of 3.31 °C.
Rain cooling the conductor below air temperature shows up in the measurement, and never in the model.

Sensing & Product
Sensors, measurement accuracy and what the drone can capture.
Software
The dashboard, data access and integrating with your systems.
Identify a measurement gap and an autonomous relocation is one click away.
We turn measurements into forecasts of failures, capacity and risk, so you act before problems reach the field.
Inspect your infrastructure, monitor threats and increase capacity with a single device.
Push 15-30% more power through existing lines with real-time conductor data.
Autonomous BVLOS inspections without the cost and risk of helicopter patrols.
Continuous on-wire visibility of ice loading through winter storms.
Redeployable sensing across high-fire-threat districts, with no ground infrastructure.
A tireless, self-charging watch over remote assets and blind spots.
