Description
Summary:With the advancement of GIS technology, electricity asset system in India is going to be much more benefited in power system planning and management. The integration of GIS with electric utilities is tremendously improving the planning and operation of the power system. This paper basically focuses on the application of emerging technologies like GIS (Geographic Information System) and GPS (Global Positioning System) which are capable of carrying out power system analysis like load flow analysis, load movement, electrical line (HT/LT) changes and electric asset management system using the ArcGIS 10.1 platform in Bhadohi city of Uttar Pradesh, India. High resolution remote sensing data is used to prepare various thematic layers i.e. settlement, transportation network map and other land base and performed survey of electrical asset data of Bhadohi, which is finally integrated into GIS platform. Number and types of electric poles, poles ID, distribution transformers (DTRs), the length of HT/LT lines etc. are collected during the field survey. The geographic location of each distribution transformer in the study area has been acquired using GPS and mapped in the hard copies of satellite data. It was that while there were 433 distribution transformers found in 2015 only 336 were recorded in 2011.
