Using geoprocessing to monitor voltage disturbance in power systems

Electric energy companies have been going through important changes which intend to improve the quality of the energy generated and distributed to the society as a whole. In order to guarantee this quality it is necessary to define benchmarking parameters. One of the forms of measuring the quality of the transmitted energy is by capturing voltage disturbances, through electric systems monitoring. On the other hand, advances in the geoprocessing area have propitiated more efficient decision supporting systems, since they permit systemic and operational visualization. In this paper, we propose the use of geoprocessing in the monitoring of energy quality in electric power systems.
