Abstract

Geomatics involves the collection, management, integration, representation, analysis, modeling and display of geographically referenced information describing both the Earth’s physical features and the built environment. One of the main use of this tool is to estimate electrical energy demand throughout Al Anbar Governorate, which have major problems in this sector with about 750 to 770 MW. The consumption of the city of Al Ramadi is about 200 MW. According to official forecasts by the Directorate of Electricity Networks of Al Anbar, this demand is expected to increase to about 900 MW during the summer of 2020. The present distribution systems in Al Ramadi are mostly overhead. Gradual conversion from overhead to underground systems, particularly at the 11 kV level, is recommended, especially in the central part of the city. This will allow for higher system safety and reliability, and for a much aesthetically improved appearance. This necessitated the construction of additional backup stations. Furthermore, prepared a plan for stations that have been constructed in the year 2020, in order to meet the anticipated demand growth during the planning period. Long-term plan for the Governorate of Al Anbar in order to cope with the increased demand for electrical energy.

Summary

Introduction

In the past 20 years, GIS has developed rapidly, increasing its potential for effective use in both public and private organizations. [1] developments of the effective enterprise use of GIS and the creation of a national infrastructure supporting its use have been slow. GIS provides the platform for the development of place-based data systems for measuring the effect of federally supported housing programs and supporting housing policy decision-making. [2] [3] Up-to-date, accurate information is needed to analyze issues and trends, examine the effect of the programs, and support nationwide analysis. This work provides some elaboration on the requirements that are essential for the future development of the generation, transmission and distribution sub-sector in accordance with the development of the city. [4] The provided information contained the key elements of the power distribution network, including production, transport, transfer, and distribution stations and their capabilities, as well as transmission lines, sub-main lines, and distribution cables. The main components of the electrical sector in Al Ramadi, current status and the future plans for developing the sector were Assessments presented in previous work [5]
