Automation of electrical transmission lines' route optimization and project drawing

Abstract

There is a need for new Energy transmission lines (ETL) in order to meet the energy demand that has been increasing from past to present. Finding the optimum route and drawing the project is a time consuming and a complex problem for engineers. There are many studies for optimization of ETL's routing in the literature. However it is seen that there is a need for an interface that will facilitate the ETL routing by bringing together all the processes for ETL routing and preparing the project of the ETL by drawing the profile of the route. In this study, an interface using the Geographical information systems (GIS) is designed for finding the optimum route of ETL's, a project drawing program that can draw the profile and make all the other project processes is written. Also, controlling the project on the real terrain model by the users is ensured by the visualization of the ETL's projects on three-dimensional terrain model and satellite image.
