Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and systems for wildfire detection using power infrastructure are described. One or more aspects of the techniques described include determining (e.g., quantifying) the impact of wildfires on power structures and transmission line sensors. Determination of measurable changes in transmission line temperature and transmission line sag, that result from early onset fires, are used to detect heat events. Therefore, real-time monitoring of transmission line temperature and transmission line sag (e.g., using sensors that are already deployed in some power grid infrastructures) may efficiently detect the early onset of wildfires according to techniques described herein.
