“…The Korea Electric Power Research Institute (Park et al , 2006) has developed an insulator detection robot for the 345-kV AC transmission line, as shown in Figure 4(a), and a robot to clean the horizontal double-tension insulator string, as shown in Figure 4(b). The robots use internal and external frames to alternately clamp insulator ceramic bottles for the climbing and cleaning operations.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to improve the operation and maintenance intelligence of power systems, and summarize the transmission line robots and their key technologies. High-voltage power cables are important channels for power transmission systems. Their special geographical environment and harsh natural environment can lead to many different faults. At present, such special operations in dangerous and harsh environments are performed manually, which have not only high labor intensity and low work efficiency but also great personal safety risks. Design/methodology/approach For maintenance works that are far away from the tower, power outages are required. With the increasing evaluation of transmission quality and operational safety, and the urgent need for automation and operation of modern power systems, the contradiction between this manual operation and modern high-quality power transmission has become increasingly prominent. An effective method to replace the manual maintenance work is to use the mobile robot to carry the operation manipulator and its end tool, that is, the live maintenance robot. Findings Some achievements have been made in the key technologies of live maintenance robots, the work to be done to meet the basic requirements of complex and changeable line environment and practical application. Based on the existing research results of live overhaul robot, the follow-up research will focus on the practical application needs and the frontier of scientific and technological development, and truly realize the human–machine integration between live overhaul robot–human working environment. Only in this way can the robot better serve the operation and maintenance of the power system. Originality/value This paper reviews the system platform, operation function, structural characteristics and key technologies involved in the power cable robot, and the combination of live maintenance robots and modern high-tech such as big data and cloud computing is also given, and finally, the future development direction of the special operation robot is pointed out.

“…The SDD of contaminations on the insulators are adjusted to 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 mg/cm 2 (noted as A1, A2, A3 and A4), which accords to pollution classes , , and [13]. During this stage, the NSDD of contaminations on the insulators remains 1mg/cm², and 0.5mg/cm² dextrin is added to raise adhesion stress [14].…”

Pillar insulators live-line clearing apparatus is to remove contaminations from the insulators by insulating medium dry ice. It is safe and efficient, without the risk of flashover accidents. This paper describes experiments and tests about controlling parameters which have impact on cleaning effect on the experiment platform. Available dry ice flow, rotating speed et al is produced, which is the fundamental of the further research of pillar insulators live-line clearing apparatus.

“…In 1990s, many research works were published about online automatic cleaning and testing for EHV transmission line insulator [4][5][6][7]. Korea Electric Power Research Institute (KE-PRI) developed an automatic operation insulators robot for cleaning and inspection of insulator strings in 2006 [8]. This robot mechanism consists of upper and lower fixed frame body, middle cleaning mechanism and two picking mechanisms.…”

To drive synchronously and simply control system of insulator inspection robot, a single-driving moving mechanism of suspension insulator inspection robot is designed. The parallel transmission mechanism is designed to drive two sets of impeller shafts synchronously by single motor, which achieves synchronizing movement. Analysis and simulation are completed to verify structural parameters and kinematic performance of the moving mechanism. It is also discussed that the application of differential drive systems to obtain synchronizations of the driving branches and adjustment of structural errors of insulator strings.
