Cheradan Fikstad - Modeling Power Transmission Infrastructure
           

Currently I am working on a model for the power transmission infrastructure. I am overlaying nodes - generation facilities and substations - and transmission lines in the western US on Google Maps. I use a model to display what nodes and lines are more likely to blackout.

As the code runs Google Maps will dynamically update which nodes and lines are down for a more visual effect. Up until this point, the transmission grid graphics had no correlation to any real location. Now they will be dynamic and interact-able.
