Electricity is an essential part of our everyday lives that we often take for granted. We take it for granted that is until we have to do without power for one reason or another. We don’t often actually see them, but behind the scenes many people are working to ensure that we have a clean, safe, reliable source of power, that we don’t have unpredictable or inappropriate current is there when we need it; and that it is, more or less reasonably priced.

But unfortunately in our Indian scenario, the Central Power Distribution Company could not able to supply enough power to the people due to high population, low power generation, transmission and distribution losses and illegal service connections of consumers. To overcome this problem they have to mainly reduce the power losses and to prevent the illegal operations of consumers. For that the electrical Distribution Company is responsible to manage the distribution system safely and efficiently, which deliver electric power from AreaFeeder to Outservice drops. In India, the main drawbacks of the distribution system are poor maintenance of the installed facilities, lack of proper planned network, lack of monitoring and prevent losses and manual updations of consumer records etc. Today’s electric utilities are realizing the benefits of geographic information system (GIS) technology in the management of facilities for Engineering, Construction, Operations, Maintenance and Services purposes. Electrical Distribution model supports these typical business needs by providing an implementation that focuses on operations and maintenance portions of the facility life cycle and provides a crucial visual component.

Hence there is a need to study the existing power distribution network system available and purpose a strategy to develop an application. With the above thought the topic “ POWER DISTRIBUTION NETWORK BASED ON GIS AND GPS TECHNIQUES ” was taken into consideration.

AIM and Objectives:
To develop an Electrical Distribution Network using GIS and GPS observations and develop an application.

• Study of the existing electrical distribution network
• To create an electrical network using with GPS data
• Study of the existing GIS packages for customization of electrical network application using GIS as a tool.
• Understanding the Business process flow of Power Distribution Network
• The design of database to minimize the data redundancy and effective functioning of the application
• Customization of the software to fulfill the application needs
