Abstract

The paper addresses the visualization and systematization of cartographic material for analyzing energy infrastructure in various world regions. It discusses the technology (architecture) for building maps based on the concept of atlas mapping. An interface was developed for the construction of interactive maps and navigation in any section of the world atlas - from the level of world continents to a detailed map of any region within the country. We have constructed and stored contour maps of all countries of the world in the database of the computing geo-information system (СGIS). CGIS allows constructing hybrid maps, which contain vector and raster map layers with the energy infrastructure overlaid on them in the selected territory. An algorithm was constructed to search for energy objects and administrative entities in any country or region of the world. The atlases built by CGIS are used at Melentiev Energy Systems Institute (MESI) of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences to plot the solutions obtained with the optimization model ORIRES (which reflects the optimal operation of the interconnected power systems in different scenarios) on a map of a selected area or region.
