India, New Delhi: The companies enter into partnership for AI-based power grid monitoring.

BLP Industry.AI, the enterprise artificial intelligence subsidiary of power generator Bharat Light & Power Pvt. Ltd., has entered into a strategic partnership with US-based Sharper Shape to provide solutions for power grid monitoring and maintenance through aerial inspection using helicopters, drones and other sensor packages.

The partnership will work towards providing solutions for asset management, vegetation management, and digital twin technology for electricity transmission, distribution lines and substations in India, as the country moves towards providing uninterrupted power access to all and achieving net zero emissions.

BLP Industry.AI has already deployed its computer vision solutions for safety and security of grid operations and substations.

Sharper Shape is a leading provider of aerial inspection of power grid infrastructure and has deployed its asset management platform across 68,000 km (38,000 mi) of powerlines in the USA and Europe. The company has also used long-range drones for inspections in the USA, South America, and Europe.

“Our partnership will unlock the strengths and capabilities of both organisations in providing cutting-edge inspection, AI, and digital twin technologies to the energy sector in India and the world,” Sharper Shape CEO Chris Beaufait said.
