Turkey's Largest Electricity Distribution Systems AM/FM/GIS Project
Defining Issue: The dynamic nature of the electricity distribution system causes a complicated procedure to analyze, and it includes both graphic and nongraphic data. GIS Solution: The ELTEM-TEK company along with RZK GIS developed an application to manage this system based on ArcInfo. Methodology: TEDAS, Turkey's single authority for electricity distribution around the country, has selected ELTEM-TEK for load forecasting and master planning studies for the period 1996-2020 to implement City-wide AM/FM systems for the cities of Bursa, Konya, Gaziantep, and Eskisehir, territories of intensive industrial, commercial, and agricultural activities. TEDAS's expectations from the AM/FM project was to develope a system for City-wide electricity utilities to help them with data collection, data management, data manipulation, and data presentation and to provide them with electrical engineering analysis tools for both medium and low-voltage distribution network. ELTEM-TEK is the most eminent engineering and
consultancy company of Turkey in the fields of generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy. During the AM/FM project Islem GIS (the Turkish Esri distributor) and RZK GIS (GIS and AM/FM solution provider, engineering and consultancy company) supported ELTEM-TEK. Islem supports Bursa and Gaziantep, and RZK supports the Eskisehir and Konya projects. RZK GIS rendered the consultancy and engineering services for producing City-wide basemaps, distribution system plans and circuit diagrams, and distribution system equipment databases using ArcInfo and Oracle in Eskisehir and Konya. All graphical and nongraphical information is stored in a geographic data storage facility (ArcStorm) to be used in a client/server structure. Sophisticated electrical engineering analysis tools are developed using ARC Macro Language such as short circuit, load flow, voltage drop, and switching during the project. SunSPARC workstations and PCs were part of the client/server system. PDLC, Project Development
Life Cycle, and the results obtained from the project will be discussed and explained in this paper. Software: The application is written using AML based on ArcInfo for UNIX, Oracle, and ArcView. Technical challenges encountered during the development and integration of the different software products shall be reviewed in this paper.
