POWERING THE FUTURE GRID : INTELLIGENCE TRANSMISSION MONITORING WITH SAR SATELLITE IMAGERY AND LiDAR
Enhancing the efficiency of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT)’s transmission system through satellite imagery and LiDAR. With over 470 transmission lines spanning 25,000 km, expansion plans aim to provide nationwide coverage. LiDAR is used for aerial mapping to create an accurate initial database, while CCTV systems enable real-time surveillance. Satellite imagery, particularly SAR satellite imagery combined with InSAR and machine learning, ensures precise monitoring of encroachments. Integrated GIS application support right-of-way management, contributing to safe and efficient power distribution.
