Abstract:
Electricity is a name that includes a variety of phenomena resulting from the existence of an electrical charge and its flow. Electricity transmission or electricity distribution network intended for the transfer of electricity generated by the power station to the beneficiaries directly.
Selecting the best path to high tension power line is a complex process due to the multitude variables which must be taken into consideration to achieve the best results in time, effort and cost. The most important of these variables are those related to the environmental, economic and political aspects, for residential and urban areas, topography and geology of the area of the proposed pathway. These variables can easily be represented through the use of (GIS). In this research the optimum path for electric power transmission high towers, had been chosen, which starts from the main power plant located in the Sonot forest to the secondary electricity conversion station, located in the Shagra city using modern scientific procedures of Geographic Information Systems to satellite image base maps that had been achieved for the study area (Khartoum- Almuqaran), that shows the road and buildings where the path go through.
