Visualization System Design for Investment and Planning of Active Distribution Networks

The rapid development of the active distributed network poses big challenge on accurate investment analysis of distributed network. Therefore, a precise investment model is in great demand to help the operator make optimal investment and planning decision. In this paper, a platform of a visualization system for distributed network investment and planning is proposed, on which the operator can accurately compare the performances of the distributed network with differential configuration sets so as to make better planning decision. The key technologies of the visualization system are detailed introduced, including the organization framework, data structure, data interface, graphic elements model, and multi-layer communication mechanism. The proposed platform has been applied in a real distributed network of a province in China, proving its practice and efficiency.
