Automated Re-Scaling of Overhead Electrical
Distribution Maps |
| Customer: |
Electrical Utility |
| Problem: |
Customer needed to convert existing Overhead
Electrical Distribution maps from 600’ scale for primary
and 200’ scale for secondary and service to a new common
100’ scale. |
| Solution: |
Mill
Creek Systems, Inc. developed a one-time und se tools to
rescale the maps preserving the original aspect (look and
feel). |
Scaling
Highlights:
-
Multi-pass
scaling to scale conductor and device text about point on associated conductor or
device
-
Replace
cells with new cells
-
Adjust
line work to new in-line devices
-
Scaled
Primary, Secondary, Transformers, Service and Streetlights
-
Perform
line work cleanup, where possible
The
Overhead Map Scaling tool, developed by Mill Creek Systems,
Inc., automatically scaled both the primary, secondary and
service features, using a multi-stage scaling process based on
the corporate graphic standards. This preserved the original look and feel in the newly
scaled maps.
Before Scaling (600', 200'
Scales)
The
output scaled maps, on average, required 15 minutes or less of
manual touch up per section vs. 4 hours to redraw.
The savings per section were thus: 4 hours – 15 minutes
= 3 hours 45 minutes per section.
For the entire project the savings were 7,700 sections x
3 hours 45 minutes/section = 28,875 hours.
After Scaling (100' scale)
