Abstract :
Fluorescence measurements using lidar techniques have been shown to be useful for monitoring of algal growth on e.g. historical monuments. In this experiment similar measurements were performed on electrical insulators to examine the correlation between algal growth and the quality of the insulator, a factor of importance in the high-voltage grid management.
