Geographic Information System (GIS) : Training

This document provides information about using a geographic information system (GIS) to aid in transmission line routing and station location planning. GIS can help with designing, planning, corridor mapping, route identification, and cost-benefit analysis for power transmission by digitizing topographic data layers like roads, water bodies, railways, and protected areas. This allows optimal transmission line routes to be identified by considering constraints from factors such as topography, tower costs, and populated or forested areas. A total weighted surface map can be generated in GIS by gathering, digitizing, editing, and combining raster data layers that represent criteria like slope and distance to roads, while applying different weights to help determine the best transmission line routes.

TL and Station Location on GIS

Transmission Line (TL) Route

 The objective of TL routing is to seek location of Tower


over the Terrain such that overall cost of tower
construction and cable laying is minimum

 Parameters influencing cost can be classified as:


 Topography related such as Land Elevation, Vegetation
Distribution, Urbanization, road and rail network etc
 Tower related such as tower height and tower foundation
• GIS can play a major role in designing, planning, corridor
mapping, route identification, and cost-benefit analysis
for power transactions.

• Conventional methods adopted in transmission system


are based on available paper maps, knowledge of person
present in the field, survey toposheets, route walkover
to define alignment, etc. Thus, the work approach is
mainly based on thumb rules and preconceived notions.
The layer wise information digitized from toposheets
include:
• All major and minor roads.
• Water bodies like rivers, canals, etc.
• Railway networks.
• Power and communication line crossings.
• Historical and forest areas.
• Play grounds, parks, stadiums, airports, etc.
• Depending upon various constraints, such as reserved and
protected forests, populated areas, flood-prone, marshy
areas, national highways, railway lines, communication
lines, etc., select the optimal route of alignment.
• In order to get Total Weighed Surface Map (TWSM),
maps are gathered, digitized,
• clipped or unified, entered attributes according to
weights and converted to raster
• By the help of ArcGIS’ toolboxes like buffer, merge, union,
clip, conversion tools, editing tools etc. Especially some
raster maps of the criteria like distance to roads, slope,
forested and rocky lands etc. are prepared in a long
period of time
• After all the raster - based maps are being prepared,
the Raster Calculator toolbox is used to unify the
maps with their weights and Total Weighed Surface
Map (TWSM) is prepared
Sample of weighted
Thank You
Wish for Best
