LiDAR technology is a critical tool for enhancing grid reliability, safety, and operational efficiency

In the electricity sector, LiDAR technology is a critical tool for enhancing grid reliability, safety, and operational efficiency. It is deployed across the entire asset lifecycle, from power line inspection and vegetation management to substation digitization and thermal power plant maintenance, providing a data-driven foundation for modern grid management.

Principles

The system operates by emitting laser pulses to scan its surroundings. It calculates the distance to objects such as transmission towers, conductors, and surrounding vegetation by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to reflect back. These millions of precise measurements are aggregated into a dense, three-dimensional "point cloud," which forms a highly accurate digital model of the electrical infrastructure and its environment.

Functions

Key applications include automated inspections of power lines to detect sagging, damage, or encroaching vegetation; generating "digital twins" of substations for enhanced planning and maintenance; and monitoring structural integrity and coal pile volumes in generation facilities. These capabilities support predictive maintenance, reduce the risk of wildfires and outages, and optimize overall asset management.
