Three-dimensional visualization and animation for power systems analysis

This paper describes a novel approach for three-dimensional visualization and animation of power systems analyses. The paper demonstrates that three-dimensional visualization of power systems can be used for teaching and can help in easily understanding complex concepts. The solutions of power flow analysis, continuation power flow, optimal power flow and time domain simulations are used for illustrating the proposed technique. The paper presents a variety of examples, particularly oriented to education and practitioner training. Conclusions are duly drawn.
