Application of Virtual Visualization in Smart Power Distribution System

Abstract:

With the increasing development of the power system, particularly, with the proposing of smart grid and the applying of distributed generation technology, the traditional geographic information system (GIS) which relies on the tables, graphs, has become more and more difficult to meet the needs of power system equipment management, and planning. Three-dimensional (3D) GIS has developed to meet the requirement appropriately. In this paper, we choose ArcGIS as the development platform, ESRI CityEngine 2011 and Google SketchUp as the 3D modeling software. By combining the virtual reality(VR) technology and image synthesis technology, a 3D power distribution system is established, which realizes the 3D physical simulation of the transmission lines, electrical equipment, power distribution stations, and distributed generators. This methodology provides a new vision for the modernization of the power distribution system management.
