Power networks/Quality Assurance
This page gather quality assurance processes concerning power networks.
Tools
Osmose
Osmose has several analysers on power networks:
about power lines (list, map, stats)
about intersection with non power features (list, map, stats) / 
about intersection with highways (list, map, stats)
about transformers (list, map, stats)
On some countries, there are also suggestion to add missing power features (substation, poles, etc). You can find them by using the power tag on Osmose GUI.
JOSM
JOSM validators already contains some checks about the power lines.
You can have some more by adding Power QA ruleset to JOSM:
- Preferences
- Data Validator
- Tag checker rules tab
- search for "Power QA" and add it
iD
iD validation already includes some basic rules to validate data for power grids.
Some work is still needed to implement further processes and additional checks.

Voltage consistency in a section
When building a power=line_section relation, it should involves several segments with their own voltage.
The section's voltage should be >= of each segment's voltage.
Difficulty is to be able to check this constraint among segments supporting several circuits with different voltages. Voltages lists are strings unsuitable for math comparing without a split.

Line_management consistency at end of lines
line_management=cross should not be on end node
line_management=cross is supposed to explicit that two line sharing a common support are not connected. It have sense only if the lines on the support are not ending on this support, otherwise it is not possible to understand the crossing concept.
However, there are certain exceptions, such as lines with different construction dates (see example on cross node 11479594725 11479594725), which require the line to be cut at the line_management=cross. In this case, a power=circuit or power=line_section relation must be associated with the concerned lines.

line_management=split means a change of topology in the number and direction of circuit. It explicitly design a break on a power line way. Thus this should be also topologically coherent, such tag should be only present at a end node of a line way, not as intermediate node.

Some are discussed for iD presets, like in #762.
Non numeric value for voltage
Voltage should be entered in volts, without the unit or thousand delimiter. For example, for a 15 kV line, the value should be voltage=15000, neither "15 kV", nor "15,000" nor combinations of this.
When multiple voltages are in use, for example on a power line carrying two circuits, or a substation converting between two voltages, the voltages should be separated by semicolons with the highest voltage listed first: voltage=275000;132000.
On a power segment like power=line or power=cable, the number of circuits must be an integer greater or equal to the number of voltage values (if only one voltage and circuit, circuits tag is not necessary). In an ideal case, the number of voltages is equal to the value of circuits, with duplicate voltage value if needed (e.g. voltage=132000;132000;66000).

iD currently proposes to change transformer=minor_distribution with transformer=distribution which corresponds to a standalone transformer outside of a substation. Surrounding or combining it with power=substation doesn't change the recommendation but it should proposes transformer=main.
transformer=auto
An auto-transformer is not a transformer role but a particular transformer architecture.
Many actual roles could require auto architecture and this property should be combined with proper transformer=* value, mainly transformer=main.

Voltage values by country
Each country has its own voltage set used for electricity transmission. For example, in Jordan, only 132 kV and 400 kV voltages are used.
Any other value used for the voltage=* tag is therefore an error.

The list of authorized voltages by country is hard-coded in the "Power QA" validator for JOSM.
If you notice an error and want to update this list, you should:
- update the “Voltages and frequency” section of the country page on the wiki.
- create an issue on GitHub to report this change
