Design and implementation of visualization platform in power system

Power system visualization is a technology combining power science with multi-disciplinary science, which integrates with computer graphics, and geography, ergonomics and other disciplines. Power system visualization provides a vivid way for the engineer to study energy management system in a variety of means. This paper presented a framework of visualization platform in power system, around the supporting platform technology and hierarchical display technology of visualization. By comparison, we make decision on graphics development kit. Two-dimension and three-dimension visualization techniques are demonstrated in this paper. These visualization techniques enrich power system visualization. Hierarchical tree view and multi-theme window display technology are presented for more information. By using this framework of visualization, dispatcher can find problem in time and take appropriate measures. The visualization platform has been applied in the China's smart power grid construction and brings significant social and economic benefits. The visualization platform hugely enhanced dispatch level of power system, and is helpful to transfer traditional dispatching into intelligent dispatching.
