Introduction

With the Computer Technology and Information technology, electric power system
automation level is rising. In recent years, domestic power companies to supply quality and the
level of service to users higher and higher requirements. The current regional power grid SCADA
systems have been put into operation the use of power grid operation in ensuring the safety,
reliability, economy played a very important role. With the transformation of the city network and
rural network carried out the level of automation of distribution network has also been significantly
increased, which for the regional power distribution management system (DMS) senior
application software Development and application of the creation of the conditions. The
establishment of a good supporting environment for the realization of the DMS functionality and
performance are crucial. This design and development of the supporting environment for power
distribution management system in equipment management, automated mapping, power
management, and advanced application software to provide public information model (CIM) and
data, and visualization platforms. The supporting environment using object-oriented and artificial
intelligence technology, with intelligent distributed architecture, so the system's maintainability,
operability, reusability and interoperability have been improved.
2 Supporting environment for design ideas
Regional power grid in the Structure and the tasks with large power grids are very different,
so DMS and EMS are also different in functionality. Distribution Management function of the
system can be generalized into three categories: network work management, incident
analysis and system optimization run, and they were separately included a number of specific
functions of the completion of the application of sub-modules.
Regional power grid backbone generally 110kV system, distribution network of 10kV, the
network structure is generally radial. As the regional power grid with only a small volume within
the thermal power plants and hydroelectric plants, it is generally not considered automatic
generation control (AGC), as well as the stability and other issues. Distribution of equipment
types and large quantities, some concentrated in the substation, the majority are located online
on the road, these devices information collection more difficult, at present still impossible to send
all information via telemetry to the control center, the design support environment should take into
account the characteristics of regional power grid. Supporting environment presented in this
paper adopted the following design ideas:
(1) an open system architecture
The system has an open interface that allows users to interface functions provided by the
system as needed changes in the functional blocks. Open system has good portability,
interoperability, using event-driven and packaging methods for the application software standard
interface to provide transparent, so it is truly user-oriented open.
(2) using object-oriented technology
Object-oriented technology in software development has become a trend, and compared to
the previous structure, technology, using object-oriented design concept can guarantee the
system consistency, reliability and scalability, can better be specific incident abstract by functional
modular design. These modules are independent of each other, you can specify the design,
namely the development, compilation and debugging, respectively, and has good reusability.
Users can choose to combine functional modules.
(3) The Common Information Model (CIM)
CIM is an abstract model, which includes the regional power grid in all the major DMS object
classes, most of which is a description of system components, such as transformers, lines,
switches, transformers, and part of the schedule for the data structure, or dynamic measurement
data. These are the DMS application, the required information and data. CIM using unified
modeling language (UML) defines the name of each class, attributes, and the class with other
types of mutual relationship. It is designed as a complete data dictionary, the system can provide
a comprehensive logical view.
3 The basic structure of the system design of
The supporting environment consists of four subsystems: system management, intelligent
graphical editing, network topology, and database management. System management

subsystem of the overall software and hardware configuration supporting environment and work
processes, system operation status, network security, data transmission management; graphics
editor sub-system used to map the network wiring diagram, geography knot line graph, power
plants and the main wiring diagram, etc. and conduct data entry and the achievement of graphical
management; network topology analysis for advanced application software to provide the
necessary network model for network structure analysis, to determine connectivity, and dynamic
coloration; and database management subsystem is a support system the core, the basis for the
system application software, its quality will have a direct impact on the entire system functions.
3.1 System Management Subsystem
System Management's primary role is:
(1) the system of distributed hardware and software configuration management, computer
systems, network equipment control and monitoring, the system is not a normal working
conditions, procedures, etc. in the non-normal operation of the police, in order to ensure the
safety and reliability of the system sex;
(2) system operation can be divided into two kinds of online and non-working state line, real-time
state and study the two-state operation mode, the system management subsystem should be
able to guarantee the safety of different states between switching and call the validity of data;
(3) that a distributed system of data communication between each node to avoid data loss the
reliability of the phenomenon.
3.2 Graphic Editor Subsystem
We focused on the power system characteristics, such as a wide range of components,
wiring complexity, reproducibility, etc., to develop power systems for graphic design graphics
editing system. With secondary development function, so the application layer of the open well,
the user can control the system provides convenient functions and features embedded into the
application.
As the graph associated with the database to achieve a graphical data integration provides
the user with a visualization platform. In this system, power system equipment, each
corresponding to an entity, different entities belonging to different layers, so that not only facilitate
the management of a variety of devices, but also can achieve sub-layer display depending on the
application needs to display one or a few one layer.
Its main function is as follows:
(1) can be roaming, roaming the natural smooth, with a secondary navigation features, so any
time a cable network show the complete graph, and can display real-time data synchronization;
(2) can be an arbitrary zoom, and can maintain real-time data synchronization with the graphics
and characters zoom zoom zoom in the graphics and real-time data when the pixel does not
appear misplaced;
(3) graphics generation and editing simple, intelligent, allowing users quick and easy single-line
diagram drawing power grid, power plants and a guitar line graph, line graph and the system of
geographical knot. Can achieve a variety of block operation, custom graphics set. System, there
is a variety of electrical main wiring form template, users can choose according to their own
needs different wiring forms, determine the characteristic parameters, such as the transformer
station number, outlet number, the system will automatically generate the main wiring diagram;
(4) with dynamic shading function, based on the actual operation of the system status, or
according to user-defined, the network trace shows a different color in different operating
conditions;
(5) graphics in the components attributes associated with the system database, users can
click directly on the graphical power equipment graphic symbols, from the Information
box to input data. Diagram of the equipment and records in the database is automatically
created by entities associated with the relationship between numbers. Namely, add, delete or
change a device will update the database in the corresponding data. For large quantities of
data entry, in tabular form can also be entered directly into the database;
(6) The use of space measurements, measure the distance between each point, line length and
surface-like map of the area;
(7) has a reasonable test of whether the operation functions, if the violation of rules to prohibit the
operation, and gives the corresponding tips.
3.3 The network topology analysis subsystem

In this system, the network topology analysis and graphics editing, databases have a direct
correlation, for a variety of advanced applications software provides the basic information on
network structure. In the power system, relatively large when the network nodes relatively long
time, the amount of data the structure of power network is very large, the node number has
become more complicated and prone to human error. Graphics-based network topology is
characterized by sub-state changes when switching topology can be automatically invoked
procedure, the network connectivity analysis, automatic power-saving number, update the
topology information on the results. The network was automatic tracking feature, can be achieved
on the network wiring diagram on the switch points, combined, as well as lines, transformers and
other electrical equipment investment, cutting operations and automatically charged state of the
network analysis, dynamic network coloring, regional segmentation . This system network
topology algorithm for radial distribution networks are mostly structural characteristics of a switch
variable for each bit, first check the switch is switching substation or a feeder switches. If the
substation switching deflection, then the implementation of breadth-first search inside the
substation in order to determine whether there has node station changes. If the feeder switch off,
for the distribution of the switch node side of a new bus, if the feeder switch is closed, then the
power-saving switch on both sides of the bus into a bus. This can greatly enhance the analysis of
the network connection speed and efficiency. Reposted elsewhere in the paper for free download
3.4 Database Management Subsystem
Database is the core of distribution network management system, establish an open,
shared, high-efficient data platform is critical, and its direct impact on the quality of the whole
function of the system, which is the basis for the system application software. A variety of
database schema, such as network type, hierarchical, relational, object-oriented model and so
on. Object-oriented ideas and ways to improve the design of relational databases, can be called
object-oriented relational database. Its characteristics are easy to realize object-oriented
programming (OOP), database structure, a clear, simple, independent, autonomous, easy
maintenance, data reuse rate. Whether to support the application systems database schema
object model can be used as determine whether an object-oriented database, the basic starting
point. Therefore, the application object model to database schema mapping is a key objectoriented database.
As the distribution network system model is used to describe a relational database, so the
object-oriented technology to achieve the object model is the relationship between twodimensional table and the table to achieve. In other words, the establishment of a distribution grid
system object model based on the use of a relational database management systems, database
design using object-oriented technology. To distribution network system as an example, power
distribution equipment, and more for a device in different applications for the required information
are also different, and sometimes also need to know the equipment and other equipment links.
Distribution equipment can be divided into three categories of information. First-class equipment
for the distribution of basic information, providing information such as device name, number,
installation location, etc.; the second stage of the various types of equipment, further subdivided,
such as switching equipment can be further broken down into circuit breakers, fuses,
coincidence, etc., at this level will describe them more specific information, as well as the linkages
between various components; third grade device status information, such as switching
equipment, a 'disconnected', 'closed' state, transformers, capacitors can be divided into 'input',
'removal' status.
