Design and Implementation of an SVG Editor for Power System

Abstract

It is the fundamental requirement for power system graphical editor to be able to draw rapidly, precisely and allocate corresponding configuration parameters for the power components and reserve operation interface. Element of this editor uses the SVG format and defines metadata tags based on the CIM specification carrying metadata in the SVG document which makes the graphics and data can be linked to a unified canonical form. The editor achieves the purpose as follows: editing, storing, and exporting a wiring diagram; importing a wiring diagram from other systems; automatically extracting and storing layers and elements in the importing process; creating and maintaining the user-defined primitive library or layer library and binding associated data. This SVG graphics editor for power system has met the functional requirements of the user and has been applied in several practical projects.
