| Abstract |
The distribution system is very complex and consists of many facilities. It is very important for the distribution operator to recognize the status of the switchgear, since the distribution system is operated by changing the status of the switchgear frequently for separation and construction of faults. In this paper, we proposed a method of minimizing the intersection of lines by using a force-oriented algorithm to automatically visualize the distribution system at the substation level. A power-oriented algorithm for automatically visualizing the graph consisting of nodes and edges was applied to the distribution system, and the connection status of the main transformer and the distribution line was shown together. In addition, in order to show the complex distribution system simply, the lines of the path that can be bypassed and supplied in the event of a breakdown with a simple lead-in line and an automatic switch are selectively displayed. In addition, when the switch in the open state was selected, only the distribution lines connected to it were selectively visualized. It was easy to recognize the power distribution system. |
