Data visualization has been increasingly important with the deployment of advanced measurement system and big data analyses in smart grid and low carbon energy systems. Research on information design, related technology, and visualization tools have been lacking. Here we systematically review the analyses and practice on data visualization in power and energy systems. Visualization related to different energy system applications, including smart grid, electric vehicle, and building energy consumption, are summarized first. Design principles are presented for large screen, personal computer, or mobile device based interface respectively. Geographical information system technologies for visualization design are detailed. The application of 3-D technologies, animations, and AR&VR for energy system visualization are also described.
