Abstract Drones are playing an increasingly critical role in transmission line inspection, and the scientific layout of their supporting drone nests directly affects inspection efficiency and investment returns. This paper proposes a site selection and finalization model for drone nests used in transmission line inspection that incorporates capacity constraints. Under a “multi-nest relay” battery-swap mode, the model adopts a multi-objective function aiming to maximize the coverage rate of inspected transmission towers, minimize the total lifecycle cost of construction and operation & maintenance of drone nests, and minimize the total number of deployed nests. Furthermore, the drone’s battery endurance is modeled as a random variable, and operational uncertainties are captured through multi-scenario sampling. Numerical case studies and algorithmic comparisons demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed model, offering both theoretical support and a practical solution to the drone nest site selection and finalization problem.
