Abstract

This paper presents experimental results associated with human factors aspects of using three-dimensional (3D) visualizations to display electric power system generation information on one-line diagrams. The paper's results are based on an experiment performed at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign using electric power system students. The results indicate that compared to standard 2D one-line displays, 3D visualizations of generator output and reserves can be used successfully on one-line displays to improve both the speed and accuracy of certain tasks.
