Application of Geographical Information System and Spatial Informatics to Electric Power SystemsAuthors: A. Nagaraja Sekhar, K S Rajan,Amit Jain Conference: Fifteenth National Power Systems Conference (NPSC), IIT Bombay, December 2008. Date: 2009-03-07 Report no: IIIT/TR/2009/41 AbstractIn developing countries, electric power is the main engine for the overall growth. Electric power shortage is one of the main culprits in hindering the overall development in these countries and also a cause of societal disparity. Geographical Information System and Spatial Informatics Techniques have come as the boon to solve many problems in the Electric power system where demographical and geographical spread was the root cause of problem. This paper aims to give a general view of geographical information system and spatial informatics techniques and their possible use in specific Electric power system problems in changing business environment, where the customer satisfaction has a direct bearing on the profitability of a utility. The GIS medium integrates both landbase and the electrical network maps. The GIS overlays single line diagrams of the power network with updated customer, meter, and network for system planning, data analysis and reporting. Energy audit, asset management, network analysis, customer management can be accomplished by GIS functionality. GIS also provides seamless environment for applications like transient stability, load flow, short circuit analysis and load forecasting. Full paper: pdf Centre for Power Systems |
