Visualization

University of Illinois
About the Topic
The development of the smart grid will require enhancements in
transmission system visualization. While the smart grid involves
substantial automation, the human operator will still be in the loop,
so they will need visualizations to help them maintain good
situational awareness. This presentation will provide an overview of
some techniques that will be used as future building blocks for smart
grid visualizations.
