Developing an Algorithm on the Reporting Of Outages in the Electricity Distribution System with GIS Integration

Abstract

Modern Electricity Distribution Systems can use many auxiliary management and analysis systems actively and effectively, as well as communicating these systems with each other and obtain more specific and quality results. It is of great importance that systems such as OMS or DMS, which are used in this context, that have tasks such as management and analysis of outages in the Electricity Distribution System, are integrated with GIS, which contains spatial and non-spatial data in relation, and allows many spatial analyzes on these data. Especially the creation of a geometric network by obtaining the topologies of spatial data by GIS creates a connection model for the analysis of data with network characteristics and allows many analyzes to be performed. In this study, the algorithm for analyzing and reporting an outage in Electricity Distribution Systems with GIS integration is discussed. Considering that the Water and Gas distribution systems have similar characteristics with the Electricity Distribution Systems, what is stated in the study is also valid for these sectors.
