Geospatial Information Support for Power Projects

Aruna Rani and Raj Kumar

Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System is becoming a great tool for decision support system. It can play a vital role in power sector. The Geospatial information of all the assets related to all power projects can be visualize at one platform in Geographical Information System. Which can help in flood management and equalize power distribution and control system. This can be proven as a great support to plan a new power project. The objective of the work is to geospatially integrate power generation, distribution, transmission projects and their assets and to develop geographical Information System. The study also relates and analyses the best approach in case of flash flood. The study also identifies the alternative route power supply system rather than hydro power electricity. This paper includes million unit power generation of the year 2017 and analysis by hydro power projects. In future study it will incorporate theme-based study hydro power projects, distribution lines and transmission lines using thematic maps i.e., Land Use/Land Cover, drainage, road and road map using geospatial technology. The Main objective of the paper is to focus on the importance of GIS support for power projects in spatial reference to Uttarakhand State.
