GIS Electric Utilities Fundamentals
About this Course
An introduction
This document serves as a guide for the GIS Electric Utilities Fundamentals course.
The Course is intended for professionals or recent graduates with strong knowledge of GIS specifically, those working in GIS and who want to migrate to using ArcGIS Pro instead of ArcMap.
About this Course
Are you a professional GIS user? You have at least two years of experience in the field of GIS in general and want to enrich your knowledge in one of the areas of utility networks.
We have many paths that are concerned with all utility networks, such as gas networks, water and sewage networks, and telecom networks, in addition to electricity networks, which are the subject of this course.
In this course, you will learn the basics and principles of electricity
networks and an understanding of the types of networks and how they work in reality, as well as how to link spatial data and tabular data to solve the daily problems you are working with.
In addition, you will also acquire skills in detecting spatial and descriptive errors using quality control tools using ArcGIS Pro and ArcMap in some cases.
