Abstract. In order to meet the structural and functional requirements of simulation laboratory for power grid planning study for application data processing, a set of application data subsystems for the simulation laboratory of power grid planning study is designed according to the actual demand of grid planning and simulation. Design thought of application data subsystem of simulation laboratory for power grid planning study is discussed in detail from overall structure to actual functions; the application data subsystem is subject to integration method based on the data bus and uses CORBA to solve the interoperability of distributed objects in cross-heterogeneous system; open structure is used to provide a network architecture which has redundant key function and support distributed processing environment, to meet the scalability, security, reliability, openness, easy maintenance needs. Main functions include: data exchange platform, data centre, graph centre, data query and pivot, information service, information maintenance platform unified by WEB, provide a unified platform support for accessed / embedded third-party application function, and so on. The level of power grid planning simulation is improved, a more rational planning program is verified, and greater benefits are created.
