Visualization and Animation of Electric Power Systems Cansin Yaman Evrenosoglu, Bei Xu, Ali Abur, Ergun Akleman (Visualization Project was supported by NSF and conducted at TAMU)
Motivation Visualization and 3D animation methods facilitate the  understanding of power system steady state phenomenon and electromagnetic transients in power systems
Objectives Develop novel visualization methods for power system transients, power flow and power system state estimation Implement them and demonstrate their effectiveness using simulations Investigate their utilization for the analysis and solution of power system steady state problems or power system transients
A Powerpoint Presentation on Visualization of Electromagnetic Transients in  Electrical Power Systems	Visualization of power flow in  IEEE 118 bus system
Movies Triangular representation of voltage profile of a power system transmission line during a 3 phase to ground fault using 3 phase voltages. (Transmission line is represented by 10 sections, fault is located at the 8th section) Perspective view,   Front View  (view the animation files with VLC Media Player) Circular representation of voltage profile of a power system transmission line during a 1 phase to ground fault using aerial and ground mode voltages. (Transmission line is represented by 10 sections, fault is located at the 8th section) Perspective view,   Front View (view the animation files with VLC Media Player) The animation (perspective view) of bus voltages and angles in IEEE 118 bus system during a transaction using terrains and coloring. Details of the method can be found in here.
