Abstract

In the modern era of smart grids, integrating advanced Geographic Information Systems (GISs) with protection coordination functionalities is pivotal for enhancing the reliability and efficiency of distribution networks. This paper presents an implementation of a web-based distribution network GIS platform that seamlessly integrates distribution system feeder GIS monitoring with the system model file layout, fault current analysis, and coordination simulation functions. The system can provide scalable and accessible solutions for power utilities, ensuring that protective devices operate in a coordinated manner to minimize outage impacts and improve service restoration times. The proposed GIS platform has demonstrated significant improvements in fault management and relay coordination through extensive simulation and field testing. This research advances the capabilities of distribution network management and sets a foundation for future enhancements in smart grid technology.
