The mo<em></em>ney will largely support a new product called Droneba<em></em>se Insights for Wind and Solar. That product is intended to service renewable energy companies by allowing them to use dro<em></em>nes to inspect the compo<em></em>nents of wind turbines.  The machine learning algorithm is able to quickly pre-screen high-definition imagery of blades — differentiating between areas with and without damage — so the operator can easily focus attention on potential issues.  The product also leverages FLIR thermal cameras, which are mounted on dro<em></em>nes to detect anomalies such as hot spots and defects on solar panels. That enables dro<em></em>nes to gather data and find problems that would not be visible to the naked eye.  Droneba<em></em>se says the product allows renewable energy companies to minimize downtime and maximize energy production (aka save money), while keeping people out of harm’s way.  In the renewable energy industry, dro<em></em>nes have primarily worked as flying, robotic inspectors and data scouts. They fly over solar panels, scanning for issues, and they fly around wind turbines, seeking out damage.  A study by BNEF, Bloomberg’s primary research service focused on clean energy, calculated that the use of dro<em></em>nes on offshore wind farms in Europe could shave off more than $1,000 per turbine per year in inspection costs, thus reducing the cost of producing electricity by 1%.

   最近的话题一直是使用无人机进行农业和无人机运输。但投资者现在越来越关注可再生能源领域的无人机。

  航空数据分析公司Dronebase本月宣布,它筹集了750万美元的C系列资金,打算用这笔资金将其服务扩展到可再生能源市场。Dronebase的投资者之一:中国无人机制造商巨头DJI。
