On Visualizing Distribution Systems for Next Generation Power Distribution Grids

Three are the main objectives of this paper. Firstly, to review the recent technologies and techniques and the emerging methodologies for the visualization of powerflow analysis of distribution power grids. Secondly, to design a user friendly web based interface for visualizing the results generated by powerflow analysis simulation frameworks. Thirdly, to implement a visualization layer on top of GridLAB-D, a recently developed state-of-the-art, comprehensive and powerful simulation engine for modern power distribution systems.
