    GIS can be used for several applications in the electricity field. It allows utilities to: 1) Digitally document the location and components of electrical networks and project their geographical configuration. 2) Identify locations of power outages and direct maintenance teams to repair locations. 3) Plan locations for new power infrastructure, like substations and power lines, based on constraints and priorities set by decision-makers.

    GIS Application in Electricity

    What is GIS?
    It is a digital system for gathering, processing and
    analyzing data of a spatial nature by using the modern
    techniques
    
    GIS Applications

    One of most important GIS applications in electricity is the documentation


    of the electrical net’s data and projecting it’s location geographically like
    identifying the net components and feeders routes.
    GIS Applications in the field of electricity
    A Successful way of treatment with the net’s components and
    identifying flow direction of the electric current.

    Find and identify breaking
    down locations and
    directing maintenance
    teams to these locations.

    The majority of ground cables connections and joints can not be found
    without the assistance of the concerned persons. Now maps can be
    used to identify and reach these (cables and joints) easily

    Infrastructure in Basra
    Electricity sector in Basra
    There are three general directorates for power activities in
    Basra:
    - South region Power production.
    - South region power distribution.
    - Power transmission.
    - In addition to the south control center in Khour Al zubair,
    communication directorate in Al Najebia.

    GIS applications in electricity field

    GIS helps to choose the best location to establish a specific project


    based on the restrictions and conditions set by the decision
    makers
    GIS applications in the electricity field
    By using GIS, a data base of Regions development projects for (2008) has
    been prepared as shown in the following example:
    Obstacles

    - This system needs a huge budget depending on the area and


    required functions.
    - High costs of the soft ware and these programs need high
    quality computers.
    - Difficulty of getting the information (data) because of maps
    damage .They were kept in bad conditions.
    - Bad coordination between directorates which are picking up the
    Information and others who are using them.
    – Difficulty of getting most of the data because of secrecy.
    - Inability to establish GIS center in Basra.

    Despite these obstacles we have to use this program for the


    following reasons:

    - Narrowing the scientific gap between our country and the


    developing countries which have already adopted this program.
     - Rescuing the remaining data and maps from damage.
