Abstract

Develop an autonomous monitoring system for the entire energy chain, from power generation infrastructure to distribution centers. The system will consist of: Advanced sensors embedded in drones, particularly Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR); Real-time data processing infrastructure;and Data mining and artificial intelligence algorithms.The system will operate autonomously, without the need for human intervention, providing: Regular statistical surveys of the energy chain; Proactive alerts on critical events; Corrective action proposals; and Predictive reports.In this way, the operator will have access to accurate and up-to-date information, facilitating strategic decision-making and reducing the need for manual monitoring management.
