3D Volume and Contour Detection of Fuel Vehicles for Biomass Power Plants

At biomass power plants, fuels such as straw and tree bark are typically purchased by weight. However, due to significant differences in fuel density and varying moisture content, relying solely on weighbridges can easily lead to practices like “water injection fraud” or “passing off inferior goods as superior ones” (e.g., substituting high-density, heavy materials for lighter fuels), resulting in financial losses for the power plant. Moreover, transport vehicles often carry loads that are severely non-compliant—such as excessively wide or overly tall stacks. Manual measurement not only is inefficient and prone to large data errors but also carries a high risk of damaging unloading equipment or causing safety incidents due to vehicle overloading.

Application Logic: Deploy H1X/H3X 3D profile scanning LiDAR systems on gantry structures or upright poles above the weighbridge at the power plant. As fuel trucks enter the weighbridge for weighing, the LiDAR system simultaneously performs high-frequency 3D scans of the cargo in the truck compartments, generating high-density point cloud models in real time. Using intelligent algorithms, the system automatically filters out data from the truck’s cab and precisely calculates the length, width, and height dimensions of the cargo, as well as its actual loaded volume. Combined with weight data, these measurements enable real-time calculation of fuel density. Once the system detects an abnormal density (potentially indicating adulteration) or oversized dimensions, it immediately triggers an alarm and provides guidance for subsequent handling procedures.

Technological Advantages: The H1X and H3X models are specifically designed for harsh outdoor environments and feature an IP67 protection rating, effectively resisting dust and strong light interference—common challenges in power plant settings. Their key advantage lies in their exceptional ability to precisely model irregular objects: whether it’s bundled round bales of straw or loose agricultural and forestry waste, the H1X and H3X can generate highly detailed, centimeter-level contours while automatically filtering out interfering elements such as tie wires and tarpaulins. Compared to traditional visual photo-based estimation methods, the H1X and H3X provide measurement data with significantly lower error rates, offering indisputable data support for refined fuel accounting and enhanced safety management at power plants.
