Description

[0001] A SYSTEM FOR GENERATING A SINGLE LINE DIAGRAM OF A UTILITY DISTRIBUTION NETWORK AND A METHOD THEREOF

[0002] FIELD

[0003] The present disclosure generally relates to the field of utility distribution networks. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to a system for generating a single line diagram (SLD) of a utility distribution network and a method thereof.

[0004] BACKGROUND

[0005] The background information herein below relates to the present disclosure but is not necessarily prior art.

[0006] Traditionally, utility networks rely on Single Line Diagrams (SLDs) to visualize and manage operational activities. These diagrams represent the network and its field assets using lines, texts, and symbols, providing insights into the operational status of network elements. However, SLDs are typically created and managed by different authorities using various formats such as Excel, PDFs, Word documents, or AutoCAD, leading to inconsistency and challenges in maintaining up-to-date SLDs across the entire utility network remains a primary challenge.

[0007] Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are commonly used to automate asset operations, storing field asset information hierarchically similar to SLDs. This highlights the importance of accurate and unified diagrams in utility management. While Asset Management Systems like SAP store network asset data, they often lack essential connectivity information, making it impractical to derive a compatible data format. Further, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) hold extensive data including route information, location data, operational status, and connectivity details, making them promising for operational purposes. However, integrating GIS data with other systems is challenging. This gap often necessitates manual processes or workarounds for SLD generation and maintenance, which are time-consuming and error-prone.

[0008] There is, therefore, felt a need to develop a system and a method for generating a single line diagram of a utility distribution network to alleviate the aforementioned disadvantages. OBJECTS

[0009] Some of the objects of the present disclosure, which at least one embodiment herein satisfies, are as follows:

[0011] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a system for generating a single line diagram of a utility distribution network, that generates data-frames that are compatible with single line diagram generating applications.

[0012] Yet another object of the present disclosure is to provide a system for generating a single line diagram of a utility distribution network, that minimizes the risk of errors that can occur with manual data entry or inconsistent formats.

[0013] Still another object of the present disclosure is to provide a system for generating a single line diagram of a utility distribution network, that automates the processes of single line diagram preparation, thereby accelerating project timelines and enhancing overall operational efficiency.

[0014] Yet another object of the present disclosure is to provide a system for generating a single line diagram of a utility distribution network, that eliminates the need to separately update a Single Line Diagram.

[0065] In an embodiment, the repository may be any database discussed herein may include relational, hierarchical, graphical, or object-oriented structure and / or any other database configurations. Common database products that may be used to implement the databases include DB2 by IBM (White Plains, N.Y.), various database products available from Oracle Corporation (Redwood Shores, Calif.), Microsoft Access or Microsoft SQL Server by Microsoft Corporation (Redmond, Wash.), MySQL, or any other suitable database product.

Each record may be a single file, a series of files, a linked series of data fields, or any other data structure. The association of certain data may be accomplished through any desired data association technique such as those known or practiced in the art.

[0066] For explanation purposes, the present system is implemented for generating a single line diagram (SLD) of an electrical distribution network. Referring to Figure 3, the GIS 10 is configured to map the plurality of network-assets corresponding to the electrical distribution network on the digital map. The digital map represents a physical layout and interconnections between the network-assets within the electrical distribution network. For example, in the electrical distribution network the network-assets are Generating Stations, Distribution Stations, Consumer Stations Substation, Transformer, Low-Tension Switchgear, Circuit Breaker, Fuse, Isolator, Cable, Busbar, Consumer Meter, Fire Panel, Supply point, Primary Meter, etc. The GIS 10 is configured to store information related to the plurality of networkassets. The information related to the plurality of network-assets includes location, types of network-assets, interconnection between the network-assets, sequence of network assets from source to destination, sequence of sub network-assets within network-assets, switching status, load on network, and direction of load flow.

[0067] Further, the data-frame generator 20 is configured to generate a plurality of data-frame based on the information received from the GIS. The data-frame includes the plurality of keys with the corresponding plurality of key-values associated, as shown in the table below for the electrical distribution network.

[0068] Using the above data-frame SLD is generated by the SLD drawing module, and the SLD is shown in Figure 4.

[0069] The above table including the data-frames are generated using the following:

[0070]

[0071]

[0072]

[0073]

[0074]

[0075] Purpose of Key: To define size or bounds (length and width)of drawing in drafting software based on number of LT Switchgear connected with particular transformer. The plurality of keys is defined by abbreviations corresponding to the identified plurality of network-assets of the electrical distribution network. The keys can be determined as follows:

[0076] Further, the plurality of keys is assigned with a corresponding plurality of suffixes for differentiating the purpose of each of the keys. For instance, when dealing with LT Switchgear assets, the suffix "Details" is associated with them to signify the provision of detailed information about the asset. Additionally, in cases where the LT Switchgear contains arrangements of fuses, the suffix "Arrange" has been identified to denote this specific aspect of the asset. Likewise, the following suffixes can be used to denote the purpose of the keys for a particular network asset of the electrical distribution network.

[0077] The plurality of key-values also includes at least one separator for distinguishing values between to network-assets or to define an attribute value to a network-assets. For instance, in a key that represents a network asset, separators might be employed to distinguish different components of that asset, such as its location, operational status, or related parameters.

[0078] Additionally, when specifying attribute values for a given network-asset, separators help divide individual attributes, making it easier to interpret and utilize the data. This design choice ensures that each piece of data-frame is clearly defined and can be efficiently processed and managed within the system. Following is the example of separators that can be used: The foregoing description of the embodiments has been provided for purposes of illustration and is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. Individual components of a particular embodiment are generally not limited to that particular embodiment, but, are interchangeable. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the present disclosure, and all such modifications are considered to be within the scope of the present disclosure.

12. The method (200) as claimed in claim 9, wherein the key assignment module (20c) is configured to assign the plurality of keys with a corresponding plurality of suffixes for differentiating the purpose of each of the keys.

13. The method (200) as claimed in claim 9, wherein the plurality of key-values includes at least one separator for distinguishing values between to network-asset(s) or to define an attribute value to a network-asset(s).

14. The method (200) as claimed in claim 8, wherein the information related to the plurality of network-assets include location, types of network-assets, interconnection between the network-assets, sequence of network assets from source to destination, sequence of sub network- assets within network-assets, switching status, load on network, and direction of load flow.
