Design, Development and Analysis of Bird Flight Diverter Mechanism using Unmanned Attachment Techniques

Abstract

The electrocution and collision of birds with the overhead power transmission lines in Kachh district of Rajasthan is one of the major causes of death of the Great Indian Bustard and lesser florican. Aluminum conductors are hardly visible with Sun light in background. Bird Flight Diverters are identified as one of the measures to avoid the chances of collision of birds with transmission lines, hence reducing the mortality rate of these endangered species and shall be placed in identified stretches as per the guidelines of the Forest Authority. Attachment of these diverters is currently done manually which possess a high risk to the operator. Also power is to be cut from the lines before starting of installation. Attachment of diverters by drones is coming as an effective solution to the issues faced toady. Our aim is to design and develop such a mechanism that can be easily attached by drones within shortest time possible and would have minimal impact on drones on release. We also aim to differentiate the optimized material for the mechanism and perform impact analysis on it.
