A power plant is a complex real-world system associated with rich multidimensional data relevant to its construction and activity. Thus, choosing an appropriate way to visualize power plant data is important for users to understand and explore more about such systems. Most of the approaches existing in this field support only a static representation of data from a small region. This makes it hard for the users to get an overview or explore specific power plants. In this poster abstract, we describe an interactive visualization tool designed for the analysis of power plant data in Europe. Our approach provides an overview and detail visualization approach for Global Power Plant Database entries. With this tool, users can easily find power plants, see details on demand, filter, compare, and explore the power plant outage scenarios from the nearest neighbor perspective.
