Secure Electrical Documentation on GIS Maps

The network of a utility is vast and spread over a large area. For better management, the area is divided into a number of administrative boundaries. It is complex and grows over time depending upon the overall growth of the area. Management of this large volume of information, consumers, connections and meters, requires a proper system that maintains the data effectively and allows it to be accessed efficiently.

There is also a necessity to validate the electrical documentation in accordance with distribution network norms and standards. This differentiates a simple drawing over a Geographical Information System (GIS) platform and electrical network documentation in its true sense.

This is an integrated software with features and functionalities which are required by the power utilities to meet the need of GIS documentation and asset mapping in the electricity transmission and distribution network, consisting of substations, switching stations, HT/LT feeder/branch, power and distribution transformers, towers/poles, junction box/pillar box and many other electrical elements that together build the power system.

Plotting of object over geographical base map ensures its location by geographic co-ordinate, this can be achieved by either manual plotting or by capturing GPS co-ordinate. GIS and SLD documentation are core modules of this solution. The product is capable of integrating with third party software through an exposed B2B interface, allowing deployment in many areas. The software is able to meet specific customer needs as the base product can be easily customised.

The software provides powerful on-draw validation, which ensures documentation which meet the standards for electricity transmission and distribution networks. A layer-wise view is supported in the presentation. Detailed technical and installation parameters are captured by the software.

User generated queries and user customisable reports can be defined in the software. Moreover, access to the different functionalities in the software is managed by different role and user access mapping through a dedicated module.
