Optimal Path Planning With Minimum Inspection Teams and Balanced Working Hours For Power Line Inspection

Power line inspection plays a significant role in the normal operation of power systems. Although there is much research on inspection, question how to balance working hours each worker and minimize total hours, which related social fairness maximization benefits, still challenging. Experience-based assignment methods tend lead extremely uneven among working/inspection teams. Therefore, it great significance establish theoretical framework that minimizes number teams as well balances Based two real lines Jinhua city, we first provide range minimum also present fast method obtain optimal solution. Second, propose transfer-swap algorithm hours. Combined with an intelligent optimization algorithm, put forward The results based verify effectiveness proposed framework. Compared without swap, obtained by are shorter. In addition, interesting finding: for our trivial greedy has almost same simulated annealing but short running time.
