    Abstract: A computer-implemented method executed by one or more processors includes receiving interconnection data for a proposed interconnection to a power grid; accessing a power grid model including a topological representation of the power grid, electrical specifications of grid components, and empirical operation characteristics; and generating, using the interconnection data for the proposed interconnection to the power grid, and the power grid model, simulated power grid data. The simulated power grid data is based on simulating operation of the power grid with the proposed interconnection coupled to a location of the power grid identified by the interconnection data during a simulated time period. The simulated power grid data includes a plurality of different temporal and spatially dependent characteristics of the power grid. The method includes evaluating, using one or more metrics, the simulated power grid data; and outputting evaluation results of the one or more metrics.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus are disclosed for electrical power grid visualization. A computer-implemented method includes: obtaining power grid data including different temporal and spatially dependent characteristics of a power grid, the characteristics including a first characteristic, a second characteristic, and a third characteristic; and generating a graphical user interface (GUI) representing a visualization of the power grid data. The GUI includes a line-diagram representation of power lines in the power grid overlaid on a map of a geographic region in which the power grid is located, the line-diagram including a plurality of line segments, wherein attributes of each line segment represent the power grid data at a particular spatial location of the power grid. The attributes include a time-changing thickness of the line segment representing the first characteristic; a plurality of time-changing directional arrows on the line segment representing the second characteristic; and a color shading representing the third characteristic.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for performing vegetation management processes. The processes can include obtaining first data identifying vegetation growth proximate to utility lines. The processes can include identifying a set of trees as being likely to interfere with a respective utility line near the tree. The processes can include determining, for each tree in the set of trees, an impact score that indicates a severity of a power outage that would be caused by interference of the tree with a power line. The processes can include selecting, based on the impact scores, individual trees to be trimmed. The processes can include generating trimming data that includes the location of the tree on a graphical map, and providing the trimming data for display on the one or more computing devices.
