Electric power control center visualization using Geographic Data Views

Abstract

The paper introduces a new technique for power system visualization known as geographic data views, or GDVs. The impetus behind the development of GDVs is to use dynamically created visualization in order to show a wider range of power system information than is possible using the existing geographically based wide-area visualizations that are becoming common in electric power control centers. With the GDV approach power system visualizations can be dynamically created by operators or engineers using power system information along with geographic information imbedded in the power system model. The paper demonstrates the approach for several sample data sets.
