DESCRIPTION:Geospatial data represents a critical tool for decision-making 
 processes. The United Nations has recognized the importance of geospatial 
 data through its global goals. The issue of energy is of particular signif
 icance for the development of the global community and the establishment o
 f the smart city concept. Therefore\, special attention should be given to
  managing the processes of electricity production and distribution\, with 
 a particular focus on designing\, simulating the power distribution networ
 k and managing electricity losses during transmission.\nThe planning of th
 e distribution network is an essential element of urban planning and must 
 be comprehensively assessed to improve decision-making procedures as demon
 strated in the study by Zheng et al. in China in 2012. Villacres et al. st
 ated that in electrical distribution system planning\, wire length is a ke
 y parameter for calculating voltage loss and related power losses. Thus\, 
 an adequate network topology structure is necessary to execute algorithms 
 and obtain data on losses. For visualization and proper analysis\, appropr
 iate open-source technologies can be used. La Guardia et al. provide an ex
 ample of real-time data integration into a 3D geospatial web-based visuali
 zation platform developed with open-source technology. Amović et al. prop
 ose executing process parallelization algorithms to speed up system perfor
 mance.\nIn 2019\, the Republic of Srpska implemented the project "Developm
 ent of a Utility Cadastre Model\," establishing an appropriate framework b
 ased on the Utility Network Inspire Directive model. "Elektrokrajina a.d."
  is a power distribution company supplying half of the consumers in the Re
 public of Srpska. The aim of this research is to present a study of the sy
 stem for planning\, managing and evaluating the LV/MV power network based 
 on the 2D/3D WebGIS ELMAP system\, which acts as a decision-making tool.\n
 The goal of using these tools is to optimize electricity consumption\, ide
 ntify zones and time periods indicating electricity usage patterns leading
  to the optimization of scheduling and renewal of certain infrastructure e
 lements\, redefining the topology of the power network\, identifying zones
  for new transformer station construction and defining new transformer ser
 vice areas. To efficiently establish such a system it is necessary to addr
 ess the integration problem of large amounts of 2D/3D data on one side and
  semi-structured real-time data on the other. These data for power consupt
 ion and losses are obtained through other system components via sensor rea
 dings. \nELMAP is the central unit of the power distribution information s
 ystem. It acquires and structure structured\, semi-structured\, and unstru
 ctured data from other components of this information system into the ELMA
 P model. For these purposes\, specific procedures have been developed to s
 tructure data extracted from SAP\, Stone\, Asset Management\, and MdM syst
 ems\, as well as integrate data obtained through geodetic and LiDAR survey
 ing of the power infrastructure. Given the vast amounts of data involved\,
  process parallelization algorithms have been developed. At the PostgreSQL
  level\, serial queries have been implemented\, significantly increasing t
 ransaction execution speed in the system compared to traditional methods.\
 nExisting geospatial data has been generated through digitization from exi
 sting plans or orthophotos. The primary issue with these data is their top
 ological inconsistency. There is no clearly defined geospatial hierarchy o
 f the network in terms of the topological definition of the medium-voltage
  and low-voltage networks\, nor the structuring of power lines\, branches\
 , and segments\, as well as their connections to transformer stations\, po
 les\, and metering points. Since the medium-voltage and low-voltage networ
 ks operate at different voltage levels\, a dedicated algorithm has been de
 veloped to track network topology and voltage changes at transformer stati
 ons.\nThe position of electricity meters in the low-voltage network is det
 ermined based on GPS data from a mobile application. The meter is position
 ed within or touching a building (OSM Buildings are used). These meter pos
 itions have subsequently been used as a control mechanism for future meter
  readings. For system management\, an algorithm for determining meter read
 ing routes was developed. The spatial distribution of meters and the road 
 network topology extracted from OSM served as the basis for developing an 
 optimization algorithm for field meter reading routes. For this purpose\, 
 the pgRouting environment was implemented to determine the shortest distan
 ce\, utilizing the All Pairs Shortest Path and Johnson’s Algorithm for f
 inding the shortest path for reading a group of meters.\nThe ELMAP system 
 model was established as an extended package of the Inspire Directive mode
 l (Utility Network – Electricity) to provide an appropriate platform cap
 able of communicating with other system components. The system is designed
  as a service-oriented three-layer architecture using PostgreSQL with Post
 GIS extensions as the DBMS\, while communication occurs via WFS services a
 nd API modules with other system units. The system provides an appropriate
  administrative and user platform for data management.\nTo adequately anal
 yze losses in the existing infrastructure network\, data on voltage change
 s at the transformer service area and power line levels are used\, express
 ed through algorithms that provide parameters such as SAIFI\, SAIDI\, and 
 peak power\, indicating network losses. To spatially identify critical poi
 nts in the infrastructure regarding network overloads and peak consumption
  periods system can suggest optimization measures and potential changes to
  transformer service zones. \nFor 3D structuring and analysis\, geospatial
  data sources include DEM data for terrain topography representation\, OSM
  buildings and roads for object and road representation\, integrated throu
 gh the MAPBOX environment via appropriate API services. Additionally\, dat
 a on poles\, transformer stations\, transformer positions\, and power line
 s for the medium-voltage network\, as well as poles\, power lines\, and me
 ters for the low-voltage network\, are utilized.\nFor 3D visualization\, t
 he MAPBOX environment was used\, where all infrastructure elements were cr
 eated as assets in GLB format. Given the need for visualizing large amount
 s of 3D data and models\, all elements were structured as 3D Tiles\, enabl
 ing fast and efficient 3D visualization and analysis of these data.\nThe a
 ccuracy assessment of the structured network topology was conducted by con
 trolling digitized system elements by comparing to data gained terrestrial
  measurement and  calculating RMSE parameters.
