APPLICATION OF LIDAR TECHNOLOGY FOR MEASUREMENT AND 3D MODELING OF HIGH-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMERS

Abstract
High-voltage transformers are crucial components in electrical power distribution systems and are responsible for regulating voltage levels and ensuring the efficient transmission of electrical power.The main objective of this study is to apply 3D point cloud data from LiDAR technology to accurately measure and create 3D models of high-voltage transformers. This approach was compared to conventional measurement methods, such as manual tape measurements and handheld laser distance meters. This study also aims to identify the advantages and limitations of using point cloud data to create 3D models of high-voltage transformers. LiDAR scanners were used to capture the detailed dimensions of high-voltagetransformers at four different locations. The collected data were processed into 3D point cloud datasets and subsequently used to develop 3D models using Autodesk Revit 2024. According to the findings, the use of 3D point cloud data enables accurate high-voltagetransformer measurements and efficient creation of 3D models, achieving a resolution level of LOD 300. LiDAR offers significant advantages in terms of operational safety and data collection speed; however, a higher initial equipment cost remains a key consideration. This study highlights the potential of integrating LiDAR with BIM and Digital Twin technologies to enhance inspection, maintenance, and safety practices in high-voltage environments.
