Methods, systems, and computer readable media for monitoring and management of a power distribution system are disclosed. In one example, the method includes receiving sensory measurement data captured by a mobile inspection device during an inspection of power distribution system elements in a power distribution system. The method further includes processing the received sensory measurement data to derive fault identification data that indicates a fault condition existing in one or more of the power distribution system elements and utilizing the derived fault identification data to update a network model of the power distribution system.
