Two frameworks for understanding the risks and opportunities of AI-driven power line inspections
The power grid is critical infrastructure, yet asset failures cost $150 billion annually due to outdated inspection methods like manual checks and helicopters, which fail to detect up to 90% of defects. AI-driven drone inspections offer a faster, more cost-effective, and precise alternative, but adoption remains slow due to concerns about scalability and integration. The OPEN (Outline, Partner, Experiment, Navigate) and CARE (Catastrophize, Assess, Regulate, Exit) frameworks help grid operators implement AI effectively by aligning technology with business needs, fostering collaboration, testing high-impact use cases, and creating structured roadmaps for scaling.

Post-storm Assessment
Severe weather events pose a significant threat to power grids, causing extensive damage that can result in prolonged outages and dangerous conditions. The speed at which grid operators can assess damage and prioritize repairs is crucial for efficient restoration. Traditional methods for post-storm damage assessment, however, often involve slow and labor-intensive processes that can delay recovery efforts.

E.ON Energidistribution
As electricity demands increase and grid reliability becomes more critical, E.ON Energidistribution, one of Sweden’s largest utility companies (E.ON) sought a safer and more efficient way to inspect their power lines. Traditional inspection methods were time-consuming, limited in scope, and often reactive. They needed a solution to analyze vast amounts of drone-captured data, prioritize defects, and support a strategic shift towards preventive maintenance

What does the net-zero future mean, and how do we get there?
Renewable energy costs are decreasing, but grid upgrades are slow and expensive. Electricity demand is expected to double by 2045, driven by data centers, climate change, and EV adoption. To meet the UN's 2050 net-zero target, we need diverse, innovative energy solutions and resilient digital infrastructure. Arkion is part of a global effort to enhance power grids and ensure sustainable energy for the future.
