GLOBAL POSTIONING SYSTEM (GPS)
It is a systematic integration of computer hardware, Software and spatial data , for capturing, displaying,updating,manipulating and analyzing,in order to solve complex management problems.
The information associated with the location used in GIS are :
Physical objects
Characteristics of the land
Human factors
GPS is a satellite based radio navigation system.It consits of constillation of satellite transmitting signals monitored by ground stations detected by GPS reciever.
There are three segements
Space segement
Control segement
User segement
Geographical Information System (GIS)
A G.I.S is a computer system for capturing,storing, querying,analyzing and displaying geographic data.
Maps have been combined with computer graphics and database to create GIS.
There are three views of GIS:
The Database View
The Map View
The Model View
Main Objectives Of GIS are:
Find suitable locations that have the relevant attributes.
Querrying the geographical attributes of specified locations.
The main application of GIS are
Facility management and Utility
services
Transmission and distribution of
Power Plants.
Power distribution Planning and
management.
Assets management
Urban planning
Water shed management
Water shed and resources sector
Environmental impact assessment.
Agriculture resources management.
APPLICATION OF GIS IN DISTRIBUTION AND TRANSMISSION IN POWER PLANTS
There are two general areas where GIS is mainly used in the establishment of power plants:
1.Assessing land suitability
2.Considering the proximity
SITES FOR PLANTS WITH SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
1.Coal-fired plants
Its proximity to coal.
Near a transportation network.
It can view coal sourcing options near the site.
Analyzing the closest,most economical source of the right kind of coal.
2.Hydro Electric Plants
Finding a good location.
Finding a fast-flowing waterway.
Impact on the wildlife,watershed,and neighboring communities.
It is also use to relicense the existing plants.
3.Wind Power Plants
Wind is variable so plants should be located properly.
The atmospheric condition must be strong and constant.
GIS can be used to spot the most favorable sources.
No nearby location of the bird habitat.
Needs wide expanses of land.
4. Solar Power Plants
Smallest environmental impact,silent and clean but an expensive source.
Smallest environmental impact,silent and clean but an expensive source.
Areas with siginificant new construction can provide opportunitnies to install solar pannels on roofs.
With GIS,users can show solar densities that exit throughout tha region.
An economical location is required to use solar energy.
5.Nuclear Power Plants
Public safety sensitivities.
Population densities and evacuation routing or scenarios.
Spatial analysis of the surrounding communities.
Optimal routes for emergency vehicles.
Possible contamination areas.
Cont.......
Testing the plans against real life conditions.
Regular updation of evacuation plans.
6.Geothermal Power Plants
Optimum location required.
GIS can also access the economics of various sites.
It depends on the underground structure that permits heat to flow to the surface.
Cont....
It helps in mapping the geological aspects of the earth to find ideal geothermal plant location
Factors taken into consideration are groundwater protection, proximity to transmission, transportation and labour sources.
THE USAGE OF GIS IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A THERMAL POWER PLANT
IMPORTANT FACTORS IN SITE SELECTION FOR POWER PLANTS
Transportation network
Gas pipe network
Power transmission
Geology and soil type
Earthquake and geological faults
Topography
Rivers and floodways
Water resources
Environmental resources
Pollution centers
Need for power
Climate
Land cover
Area size
Distance from airports
Archeological and historical sites
DATA COLLECTION AND CLASSIFICATION OF PARAMETERS
1.Physical environment
Topography
Geological and soil type
Climate
2.Biological Environment
Land cover and land use
Water bodies
Population centers
Protected environment
3.Socio- economic environment
Accessibility
Electrical consumption points
Fuel supply
Water supply
Power transmission
Power generation
SPATIAL DATA ANALYSIS
Limitation Maps
Factor Maps
