Overview

The Talk2PowerSystem project supports several kinds of visualizations, each suited to a different purpose and built with different technology.

Kind Technology What it shows Interactive? In chatbot? Details
Single-Line Diagram (SLD) PowSyBl Equipment within substations: switches, busbars, transformers, lines Yes (click to navigate) Yes Electrical Diagrams
Network Area Diagram (NAD) PowSyBl Voltage levels as nodes, lines/transformers as edges Yes (click to navigate) Yes Electrical Diagrams
Visual Graph GraphDB RDF sub-graphs: equipment connectivity, class hierarchies Yes (click to expand) Yes Visual Graph
Geospatial Map GeoSPARQL + YasGUI Power system resources on a map Yes (hover for tooltips) Not yet (requires GraphDB 11.4) Blog: Mapping Electrical Resources with GeoSPARQL

Electrical Diagrams (PowSyBl)

Pre-generated SVG diagrams of substations (SLD) and voltage-level networks (NAD). Both kinds are clickable -- clicking an element navigates to the corresponding resource in GraphDB.

See Electrical Diagrams for the full generation pipeline, diagram metadata, clickability details, and examples.

Visual Graphs (GraphDB)

Interactive RDF graph explorations built with GraphDB's Visual Graph feature. These use SPARQL CONSTRUCT queries to define what is shown and how nodes expand.

See Visual Graph for configurations, saved graphs, and SPARQL examples.

Geospatial Maps (GeoSPARQL)

Map-based visualizations of geolocated power system resources using GeoSPARQL and WKT geometries. Supports spatial queries (intersection, distance) and integration with third-party data (OpenStreetMap).

Geospatial maps are not yet accessible through the chatbot. This will be enabled once GraphDB 11.4 is released and the chatbot is updated accordingly.

See Blog: Mapping Electrical Resources with GeoSPARQL for a full walkthrough.
