Abstract: This article focuses on the usage and advantage of incorporating Geographical Information System for advancing the power distribution system. Geographical Information System-based electricity distribution system planning strategies are applied to determine optimum routing. Existing and proposed layouts have been drawn using GIS-based software Q-GIS 2.12.3. This software helps attach data with the corresponding geographic. A comparison between the Newton-Raphson load flow study of existing and proposed layouts of distribution systems has been performed to find the technical viability of the proposed route. The information obtained from the power flow study is voltage at each load and the real power flowing in each line. The voltages found by the load flow analysis of existing and proposed layouts are compared to show the voltage increase. The developed system is tested on a 12 bus system substation of Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology, Sikkim, India.
