SBIR Phase I: Development of an Interactive 3D Environment for Power System Visualization

这个来自PowerWorld公司的小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目解决了电力行业在将大量电力系统数据可视化方面面临的问题。新参与者进入电力行业导致了对工具的大量新需求，以帮助他们了解和分析电力系统。系统操作等传统上是训练有素的工程师的领域，现在需要更广泛的专业人士来理解。该行业的重组产生了新的条款、交易方法和技术计算，以促进实现承诺的经济和利润所需的许多不同类型的交易。这项工作的目的是开发一个交互式3D环境，以满足电力系统分析师的需求。这项工作将包括开发一个原型交互环境和可视化电力系统数据的方法。PowerWorld公司试图开拓的市场是开发高质量、用户友好的电力系统可视化软件，以满足由于行业结构调整而扩大的电力系统可视化需求。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project from PowerWorld Corporation addresses the problem faced by the electric power industry in visualizing vast quantities of power system data. The entry of new players into the electricity industry has resulted in a large new demand for tools to help them understand and analyze power systems. Areas such as system operations that have traditionally been the domain of highly trained engineers now need to be understood by a broader spectrum of professionals. The restructuring of the industry has resulted in new terms, transaction methods, and technical calculations to facilitate the many different types of transactions needed to realize promised economies and profits. The purpose of the proposed work is the development of an interactive 3D environment tailored to the needs of power system analysts. This work will include development of a prototype interactive environment and methods for visualizing power system data.The market niche that PowerWorld Corporation is attempting to exploit is the development of high-quality, yet extremely user-friendly power system visualization software to meet the expanded needs for power system visualization that are a result of industry restructuring.
