摘要

Electricity is considered as an essential need for our daily life. The power distribution companies manage the power distribution system safely and efficiently. Efficient functioning of distribution company is important to sustain the development of power sector and economy. Hence there was a need for some latest and modern systems to be utilized for improving the reliability and efficiency of power sectors. GIS(Geographical Information System) came into existence as an powerful and effective tool for management of transmission and distribution system. The GIS aims to sign-out the suitable locations that are to be fed with power supply. GIS is Useful in development of accurate database,monitoring of supply and its control, analysis of commercial and customer service,energy audit, trouble call management, load management, theft detection etc. GIS technology helps the survey respondents to answer their smart grid questions and address smart grid challenges. GIS makes the smart grid smart because GIS works with data on an interactive map where it can be updated, understood, and shared."
