Planning power transmission lines has never been easier Our 3D Decision Support System (3D DSS) helps urban planners and decision-makers to plan power transmission lines. We use latest 3D technology combined with Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to do research in how transparency can be fostered and acceptance can be increased when communicating a grid expansion project to involved stakeholders and to the public.
PLAN YOUR POWER TRANSMISSION LINES WITH OUR TOOL
- It's easy. Our 3D Decision Support System finds the optimal path based on the interests of different stakeholders.
NO TIME-CONSUMING PLANNING ANY LONGER
- It’s fast. Our 3D Decision System needs only some seconds to compute the optimal transmission line corridor. In this way, you can save time and money.
BASED ON THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS
- It’s transparent. Our 3D Decision Support System has been evaluated based on scientific studies and in cooperation with numerous transmission system operators. Documentations about the used approach are publicly available.
WHY USE THE 3D DSS FOR TRANSMISSION LINE PLANNING?
For saving money
Time is money. Our 3D DSS quickly computes different route alternatives and lets you compare them easily.
Read MoreFor finding the optimal solution among different stakeholders
Different interests lead to different opinions. Our 3D DSS brings all interests together in order to find a consensus solution.
Read MoreFor protecting the landscape and the environment
Don’t get bothered about the visibility of transmission lines. Our 3D DSS finds the route with the least impact on the environment.

RECENT NEWS
New 3D DSS version launched
We implemented many new features that support the analysis of different corridors and paths. For example, defining a scenario is now based on objectives that a user wants to pursue. The 3D DSS automatically computes, to what extent the objectives have been fulfilled and shows these results graphically in a spider chart and on a

New Master’s Thesis starting in September 2019
We are pleased that Daniele Moncecchi @DanieleMonce from Politecnico di Milano will write his Master’s thesis as part of the 3D DSS project, aiming at answering the question: What is a valley? The novel approach should keep transmission line paths short and the negative impact on landscape and environment low.
Read MoreStudy about new decision model running
Happy new year! The 3D DSS project is looking forward to achieve ambitious goals this year! Thus, we are looking for transmission line planners who are willing to fill out a questionnaire regarding our decision model. Please find more information here or participate directly in our questionnaire in English or German.
