Applications of GIS to Power Distribution Dispatching and analysis of technical questions

GIS (Geographic Information System) has been applied in Power Distribution Dispatching widely to improve distribution management. The application and development of GIS (Geographic Information System) in Power Distribution management not only improve the work efficiency and save the workforce strength of workers, but also bring the important meaningful instructions to the main productivity and competition. This paper firstly introduces the condition of the Power Distribution Dispatching, basic conceptions and main functions of GIS (Geographic Information System), and the requirements of GIS in term of the construction feature of power distribution. Then, the paper introduces the important applications of GIS combining the features of Power Distribution Dispatching in detail, which include the application in SCADA, MIS, and the contingency load transfer. Finally, the paper analyses the main technical questions and puts forward relevant solutions.
