Data Base Model for Distribution Facilities

In this paper we describe an electric facilities data base model which: - Provides data for engineering analysis, accounting and map production. - provides efficient access to data by electric network or by area. - has been implemented at several utilities. The model presented in this paper in incorporated in two IBM programs: Interactive Geo-Facilities Graphic Support (IGGS) and Geo-Facility Data Base Support (GDBS). The programs - provide for the storage of geographic and alphanumeric information, including electric facilities and land features. - support selective updating and display of both the geographic and alphanumeric data using an interactive workstation.
