New framework reconstructs urban power grid topology using open data

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel framework utilizing open data to reconstruct the topology and hierarchy of urban power grids. This system integrates public infrastructure data with geospatial machine learning applied to OpenStreetMap building data to map high-voltage transmission down to individual building connections. The framework was successfully applied to districts in Oslo, Norway, and Waiheke Island, New Zealand, demonstrating its potential for power system analysis, energy prognosis, and the creation of energy digital twins.

IMPACT Enables detailed power system analysis and the creation of energy digital twins by reconstructing grid topology from open data.

    Urban Power Grid Topology and Hierarchy Identification from Open Data

    arXiv:2606.21352v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Understanding the complex topology and hierarchy of urban power grid is crucial for energy prognosis, power flow management, and system resilience analysis. However, detailed grid information remains largely proprietary. This in…
