INTRODUCTION: The highly sensitive 3D cost estimation data in substation projects faces significant security challenges during distributed transmission, as conventional encryption approaches prove inadequate against quantum computing threats for large-scale engineering data protection. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to develop a quantum communication-based secure transmission framework for substation 3D cost estimation data, employing a three-tier quantum architecture to achieve information-theoretic security levels with robust defense against network attacks. METHODS: The proposed solution employs a three-tier quantum architecture encompassing physical, network, and application layers, with optimized quantum channels for engineering data flow. The framework utilizes the BB84 protocol with the decoy state method, implementing quantum key distribution and classical encryption integration to maintain data integrity through a distributed optimization strategy. RESULTS: Simulation validation across 10-50 node networks demonstrates quantum key generation rates of 8-40 kbps and 23% improvement in network throughput compared to star topology over traditional methods. The system achieves 99.99% reduction in key usage compared to pure quantum approaches while maintaining information-theoretic security levels. CONCLUSION: This research establishes fundamental principles and implementation pathways for quantum communication applications in engineering domains, offering significant advancement in secure data transmission for sensitive industrial applications and providing a reliable solution for protecting critical infrastructure engineering data.
