Abstract This paper presents the use of an Automatic Mapping/Facility Management (AM/FM) system for distribution system analysis and design. The AM/FM provides an environment for building a database which contains both graphic information and non-graphic facility data. This database can be used by various departments for engineering analysis, accounting, inventory, map production, and so forth. This system can be used to retrieve facility data from the database and support different applications such as system analysis or planning. With the state-of-the-art graphic user interface (GUI), output results of the application can be shown on the screen along with the graphic displays of the system that includes the geographic information. In this paper, the integration of the AM/FM is illustrated by a three-phase load flow program, that is, a very precise and sophisticated three-phase distribution system model was used. It is also shown that a statistical report of facilities can be easily built with the aid of the AM/FM.
