Traditional planning is difficult to collect data from geographic entities. Therefore, planning models often neglect the influence of surface factors (obstacles), and often do not have practicability and operability, resulting in low longitude results. In addition, traditional planning is difficult to achieve visualization and intuition. Therefore, the introduction of Google Earth software in power grid planning is necessary, which aimed at applying geomorphological factors to planning. This paper expounds the principle of power network planning based on GE satellite map. The application adopts C/S mode to store the information and map of power network equipment on the server. After the client connects the server online, the tile map can be downloaded from Google Earth. Then, Tile Technology of GMap is used to integrate the downloaded map into a complete map and the longitude and latitude coordinates of each grid equipment are obtained from the GIS database of the full service data center. After that, the grid equipment graphics are finished by GDI+ technology. Finally, with the chosen planning project, the system can dynamically work out the plan, including the location, graphics, scale, wiring situation, estimation of investment, etc. Results show that Google Earth can improve the efficiency of power grid planning.
