GIS Based Layout Planning Method for Rural Power Facilities
In order to control the load rate of power facilities,GIS technology was introduced to study layout planning of State Grid power facilities for a case rural area in Sichuan Province.First by utilizing the geographic information system in GIS technology,the main power consumption areas and power facilities within the region were labeled to establish rela-tional and file databases.Second an objective function was designed for optimizing the spatial layout of power facilities based on the optimal distribution of power load as a prerequisite.Third economic power supply radius of power facilities was calculated and optimal layout planning and design was conducted.The experimental results of practical applications show that by adopting the designed method in power facility layout planning,the load rate of power facilities during opera-tion can be maintained within the optimal range.
