A new report from the University of Florence in Italy provides an extensive review of monitoring methods for electrical power lines, with a focus on high-voltage and medium-voltage systems. The objective of these techniques is to prevent catastrophic failures by detecting partial damage or deterioration of components and allowing for organized maintenance operations. The paper discusses the coordination of protection devices and the implementation of artificial intelligence algorithms to improve the reliability of the network. It also highlights diagnostic techniques, protection devices, and prognostic methods, emphasizing the role of artificial intelligence and offering guidelines for choosing between different approaches.
