The adoption of Digital technologies increasingly allows devices across the grid to communicate and provide the data useful for the customers and for the grid management and its complex operations. To develop a smart electrical grid, Digital information of grid devices and their location with connectivity is a mandatory requirement. The State power utilities do not have accurate data of the network at their disposal. The asset details whatever are available are partially digitized information of the electrical network and the same is not updated, as per the real-time changes. To digitize fully the electrical network, we require specially designed GPS receivers (Rovers), a Base Station, and GIS software; which are proprietary products of the vendors. But obviously, due to its vulnerability, it cannot match or handle the requirements on a large data scale. Also, it is difficult to develop and manage a large electrical network of the Government Utilities, with multiple integration, amendments, and changes. An Innovative platform of GeoUrja is a topology analysis method to establish a power distribution network model; the connection between electrical equipment can be generated automatically according to the terminal position of the equipment primitives. It is a cross-platform and open-source desktop application framework, the topology data is organized and modelled. ‘GeoUrja ’ will extend the range of asset information, data modeling, integration, and make analytics for a better management Decision Support System and better customer services.
