Abstract
A system comprises a central processing unit configured to receive, from at least one component monitor, a first set of readings for a component of a power system; provide the first set of readings to be displayed as a graph on a user interface; receive, from the user interface, a user selection of a portion of the first set of readings, and at least one user classification of the portion of the first set of readings; determine at least one characteristic of the portion of the first set of readings; detect the at least one characteristic in a second set of readings; and apply the user classification to the second set of readings.
Claims20
A system for monitoring a power system comprising:
- one or more component monitors in communication with components of the power system and configured to measure electrical or performance characteristics of the power system components or the power system;
- a central processing unit in communication with the component monitors and configured to:
- receive, from at least one of the one or more component monitors, a first set of readings for at least one of the power system components;
- provide the first set of readings to be displayed in a graphical format on a user interface;
- receive, from the user interface, a user selection of a portion of the first set of readings, and at least one user classification of the portion of the first set of readings;
- determine at least one characteristic of the portion of the first set of readings based on the at least one user classification;
- detect the at least one characteristic in a second set of readings based on a correlation between the first set of readings and the second set of readings,
- independent of a time period of the first set of readings and the second set of readings;
- automatically apply the at least one user classification to the second set of readings in response to the at least one characteristic being detected in the second set of readings based on the correlation between the first set of readings and the second set of readings;
- and
- a controller in communication with the central processing unit and the power system components, the controller configured to control or perform an operation on one or more aspects of the power system in response to the at least one user classification being applied to the second set of readings.
A method for monitoring a power system, comprising:
- receiving, from at least one component monitor in communication with components of the power system, a first set of readings for at least one of the power system components at an input of a central processing unit;
- providing the first set of readings to be displayed in a graphical format on a user interface;
- receiving, from the user interface, a user selection of a portion of the first set of readings, and at least one user classification of the portion of the first set of readings;
- determining at least one characteristic of the portion of the first set of readings based on the at least one user classification;
- detecting the at least one characteristic in a second set of readings based on a correlation between the first set of readings and the second set of readings, independent of a time period of the first set of readings and the second set of readings;
- automatically applying the at least one user classification to the second set of readings in response to the at least one characteristic being detected in the second set of readings based on the correlation between the first set of readings and the second set of readings;
- and
- controlling or performing, using a controller in communication with the central processing unit and the power system components, an operation on one or more aspects of the power system in response to the at least one user classification being applied to the second set of readings.
