Analysis of HTF tubes in parabolic trough thermosolar plants

When talking about thermosolar plants, one of the critical issues is detecting faulty HTF tubes. This project aims at detecting and geo-positioning HTF tubes with thermographic anomalies caused by vacuum loss or breakage of the cover glass. Using drones equipped with cameras that combine thermographic images in the visible spectrum, you can extract a detailed and automated report. On the one hand you can see the thermal anomaly in the tubes and, on the other, a high-resolution RGB image of the root cause.
