Abstract

Tracing a schematic display of an electricity distribution network is a cumbersome task and does not empower the engineer to take fast decisions to control the dynamic network because of the difficulty in reading the displayed circuits. This paper presents four different new approaches, which achieve an intelligent logical dynamically derived network connections and display for Electrical Distribution Networks. The four approaches were designed and implemented using the Object Oriented approach and programmed using Delphi graphics components. The system developed is dynamically interactive and allows switching operations as well as displays. This paper focuses on the display issues only. The logical display approaches presented in this paper eliminate the well-known difficulties of adding and retiring stations which are awkward operations in the schematic display. The four new approaches are compared in terms of speed, readability and space utilization. To our knowledge there is no similar work done previously.
