Decision support system for optimal transmission line routing using remote sensing and geographical information system

Abstract

Rapid Industrialisation in India demands huge volume of newlineElectricity The increase in demand warrants optimum generation newlinetransmission and distribution of power with limited resources The study newlineconcentrates on development of a decision support system for optimal newlinetransmission line routing newlineRemote Sensing a tool for synoptic coverage of earth surface from newlinespace helps the planners by providing upto date landuse and land cover newlinepattern of study area It also helps for preparation of thematic layers like soil newlinegeology geomorphology which are often used in identification of newlinecharacteristics of surface and sub surface features newline newline
