Visualization Techniques in Smart Grid Bill-Jinsong Wang Spring 2013
ABSTRACT • Visualization is an established methodology in scientific computing. It has been used in many fields because of its strong capability in large data management and information display. However, its applications in power systems, espe-cially in Smart Grid are still in infancy stage. Besides, while there were a lot of researches working on visualizing data in transmission power system, the study on displaying distribution power system data was limited. Therefore, in this paper, author proposed some techniques to visualize the Smart Grid data at distribution. They are classified in three categories, which are low dimensional techniques, multivariate high dimensional techniques and Geographical Informa-tion System (GIS) techniques. • Keywords: Smart Grid; Visualization Techniques; Google Earth; GIS; QGIS, AMI; SCADA; Spatial; Temporal; Animation
Smart Grid • A smart grid is an electrical grid that uses information and communications technology to gather and act on information, such as information about the behaviors of suppliers and consumers, in an automated fashion to improve the efficiency, reliability, economics, and sustainability of the production and distribution of electricity. • But…
Visualization Techniques • Traditional methods (Low dimensional) single line diagram, real-time 2D chart and 3D surface with contour • Multivariate high dimensional techniques parallel coordinate, scatter diagram and Andrew curve • GIS Spatial analysisand spatial-temporal analysis (Google Earth API)
Data • ----From AMI and SCADA (distribution)---- • Current • Load • Power Factor • Power Loss • Power Consumption
