The algorithm was created by Czech mathematician Vojtch Jarnk in 1930. Later, computer scientists Robert C. Prim and Edsger W. Dijkstra rediscovered and republished the algorithm in 1957 and 1959, respectively. As a result, it is also known as the DJP algorithm, Prim-Jarnak algorithm, Prim-Dijkstra algorithm, and Jarnak's algorithm.
Prim's method, often referred to as Jarnk's algorithm in computer science, is a greedy algorithm that locates a minimum spanning tree for a weighted undirected graph. The overall weight of all the edges in the tree is reduced, and as a result, it discovers a subset of the edges that creates a tree with every vertex. The algorithm builds this tree one vertex at a time, from any beginning vertex, adding the cheapest connection from the tree to the next vertex at each step.

and E is edge
// Output: ET, the set of edges composing a minimum spanning tree of

Vt <- {V0}
VT <- // the set of tree vertices can be initialized with any vertex
Et <- phi(empty set)
for i <- 1 to V - 1 do
find a minimum-weight edge e* = (v*, u*) among all the edges (v, u)
such that v is in VT and u is in V - VT
Vt <- Vt U {u*}
Et <- Et U {v*}

PROBLEM STATEMENT
Optimizing Power Grid Infrastructure for Efficient Energy Distribution
In today's modern world, reliable and efficient distribution of electrical energy is essential for sustaining societies, industries, and economies. The state of Karnataka, located in India, serves as a backdrop for a challenging problem in the field of energy infrastructure optimization. Your task is to develop a web-based solution that uses graph theory and optimization techniques to analyze the power grid network in Karnataka and propose an optimized design for maximum efficiency and minimal cost.
Project Overview
The Karnataka Power Grid is a complex network of power generation stations, high-voltage transmission lines, substations, and distribution networks that collectively ensure the delivery of electricity to millions of consumers. Our project aims to address the following objectives:
- Graph Representation: Create a comprehensive graph representation of the Karnataka Power Grid, where nodes represent key components (power generation stations, substations) and edges represent the high-voltage transmission lines connecting them.
- Minimum Spanning Tree (MST): Apply Prim's algorithm to generate a Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) that spans across the entire power grid network. The MST should represent the optimal network connections required to efficiently transmit electricity across the state while minimizing the cost of transmission line installation.
- Visualization: Develop a user-friendly web interface that visualizes the original power grid network, the generated MST, and other relevant information on an interactive map of Karnataka.
- Comparison and Analysis: Compare the MST generated by your algorithm with the actual power grid implementation in Karnataka. Identify areas where the proposed MST differs from the existing infrastructure and provide insights into potential cost savings, efficiency improvements, and benefits of the optimized design.
- Recommendations: Based on the analysis, suggest practical recommendations for optimizing the power grid infrastructure, considering factors such as load distribution, geographic constraints, and cost-effectiveness.
Project Focus: Optimizing 400Kv Lines Using Prim's Algorithm
As part of the broader endeavor to optimize the power grid infrastructure in Karnataka, this project places a specific emphasis on the efficient utilization of 400Kv transmission lines.The intricate network of these high-voltage lines serves as the backbone of energy transmission across the state. Our challenge involves implementing Prim's algorithm to identify the optimal connections and routes among these 400Kv lines, ensuring the establishment of a Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) that minimizes transmission costs while maximizing the reliability of energy distribution. By focusing on these critical 400Kv lines, Our project aims to uncover opportunities for enhanced load balancing, reduced energy loss, and heightened resilience within the power grid network. The culmination of this effort will not only shed light on the potential benefits of a refined 400Kv transmission system but also contribute significantly to the holistic understanding of power grid optimization strategies.
