Use of Geographic Information Systems to Build and Management a Geometric Network for Electricity

The main goal of this paper is to use the geometric network in the ArcGIS system to build and management the distribution of the electricity network in the College of Engineering at Sudan University of Science and Technology, which includes load distribution control and management, maintenance, new extensions and decision support. The major source data is a 10 cm spatial resolution aerial photograph of the research region, as well as network data obtained in the field, which comprises transformers, supply sub stations, distribution keys and cables from various portions of the electrical network. Different thematic layers, such as building, vegetation and electrical network parts, were created to meet the papers goal. A digital map of the electrical network, including underground cables, was created and the loads for various sectors were estimated to manage maintenance and new extensions and to determine the networks weaknesses. The ArcGIS systems geometric network was proven to be useful and has the potential to be used in electricity network analysis and management the flow directions of electricity power in the network.
