Vegetation Risk Detection

AI predicts vegetation growth near power lines and flags clearance risks for maintenance work.

Business impact

• Overhead line length monitored — E-REDES reports 68,000 kilometres of high- and medium-voltage lines monitored.

Data requirements

• Overhead line monitoring data (tabular) — Used to track line segments and vegetation risk across the network.
• Vegetation growth signals (text) — The process uses predicted plant-growth risk near lines.

AI methods and techniques

• Artificial intelligence techniques — Used to predict plant growth near overhead lines and flag clearance risk.
