Electricity sector in India is growing at rapid pace. During the current year 2017-18 (Up to 31.05.2017), the Peak Demand is about 159.6 GW and the Installed Capacity is 330.3 GW with generation mix of Thermal (67.1%), Hydro (13.5%), Renewable (17.3%) and Nuclear (2.1%). To maintain such a big system it is necessary to develop a scheme which overcomes issue of failure of equipment in any circumstances. To overcome this failure, maintenance in power substation at regular interval has been carried out, for this auditing of power equipments temperature, testing result & mechanism is an effective way to prevent accidents at electrical power substations. Normally inspection task is carried out by a qualified technician who normally carried out visual inspection, listen abnormal sound and use a portable thermal vision camera to measure the IR emission intensity of the equipment, thus determine its heat rate to prevent accidents, damage of equipment etc, this temperature audit & other methods should be conducted on a regular basis to get better availability of the system. This paper presents important achievements in the field of electric power substation equipment’s inspection by robot. Mobile Robot has a flexible thermal vision & normal camera and is designed for automated auditing of substation power equipment temperature and any abnormality.
