Abstract:
GIS based consumer indexing and electrical network mapping
delivers a tool for consumer, asset and electrical load management for
actual decision making in the power sector and its database applications
can increase the utility’s efficiency if appropriately integrated with other
business developments. In India, the power submission department
continuously wishes to update their consumer data and the related electric
asset features. The consumer’s data source has to be recorded and show
the pertinent linkages with the distribution transformer (DTR), feeder and
substation. The present paper mainly focus on the application of
geographic information system (GIS) integrated with high resolution
remote sensing data and field survey data for mapping of various electrical
asset elements of Roberstganj town of Uttar Pradesh, India. The electrical
assets like high tension line (HT), low tension lines (LT), distribution
transformers (DTRs), various types of electrical poles, feeders, substations
etc. of Robertsganj town are extensively surveyed using the high resolution
remote sensing data and then updated on GIS platforms using ARC GIS10.3
software. The exact location of each electrical asset elements of the study
area is captured using GPS and same has been plotted on the remote
sensing data. In the study area electrification rate is low which
approximately 50-60% is and quality power supply is still a faraway. It is
identified that the total HT and LT pole in 2011 is 959 and 1421 respectively
while it is 1733 and 1899 in 2015. Electric data base prepared though GIS is
very useful for decision making, future planning and study such as locations
of dangerous poles, load on a specific transformer or location of loose
jumpers of HT/LT lines.
