Abstract:
Visualizing power grids has always been important: Not only to show their current state, but especially to help operators grasp problems and find solutions quickly. To this end, the single-line diagram is still the most dominant method. However, many current diagrams are still drawn manually and only updated with values at run-time. While many approaches for automatic drawing exist, none of them respects voltage levels as important hierarchical organizational aspect. Thus, cross-level state visualization is still not automatic. To this end, we present a two-stage algorithm for automatic drawing of single-line diagrams.
