Abstract

In order to investigate the influence of environmental factors on the deformation problems occurring in high voltage cables, this paper proposes a method for analyzing the deformation of high voltage cables based on 3D laser scanning. Firstly high voltage cable point cloud data is acquired. Secondly, a single power line is segmented using a density-based clustering method, and a mathematical model of the high-voltage cable is established using the least squares method. Then the high-voltage cable is downscaled from three-dimensional points to two-dimensional points to do the fitting of parabola on the plane. Finally compare the horizontal displacement and vertical displacement of the lowest overhanging point of the high-voltage cable with the weather to affect its deformation causes. The experimental results show that: the parabolic approximate fitting equation of the high voltage cable can accurately express the shape of the cable, and the R value of the equation is around 0.999. The vertical displacement of the high-voltage cable in the high-temperature and high humidity environment changes significantly, up to 0.556 m. Horizontal displacement is significantly affected by the wind, the wind in the 7mph horizontal displacement change is the largest, the average displacement change of 0.197m.
