Power flow analysis using geographical information systems

In this study, the application of the power flow analysis for a sample network of 380 and 154 kV with 66 buses by using an open-source code and performed with actual system values in the geographical information systems has been shown. Studies were realized by using ArcGIS for visualization, MATLAB's PSAT (Power System Analysis Toolbox) software and PowerWorld simulation program for power flow analysis. The voltage and phase angle values, line and bus status have been indicated with contours and in cases where new lines and buses are added, the possible changes in the system have been visualized and the status of the current system 10 years later predicted; also by using the GIS properties, displaying two different electrical parameters at the same time is ensured and it has been seen that results are very close to original licensed software, performing both the analysis and visualization.
