Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) Support |

We added several new GIS features in our latest PowerWorld
Simulator and Retriever releases - including the ability to
import shape file data directly into either product.
This feature adds a new tool to ease system diagram
creation.

|
Retriever
users can import real-time
GIS ESRI shape file
data to display up-to-date weather information on
system diagrams.

Other PowerWorld GIS features include:
- Latitude/longitude coordinates for Bus and Substation objects
can be specified; these objects can be automatically inserted into diagrams based on the coordinates.
- Background lines can be converted to transmission
lines, substations or buses.
This allows you to import transmission elements as GIS
shapefile data, then convert the imported drawing
objects to modeled system objects.
- Borders can be automatically inserted from the
PowerWorld border library, or from user defined border
files. The PowerWorld library includes borders for
the entire world. North American borders include
both state and county borders, as well as Canadian
Provinces.
