Automated time-synchronized electrical system commissioning

A system, the system comprising:

• one or more hardware processors;
• system memory coupled to the one or more hardware processors, the system memory storing instructions that are executable by the one or more hardware processors;
• a plurality of monitoring devices, each monitoring device configured to collect commissioning data, the commissioning data including characteristics associated with operation of one or more of the plurality of pieces of electrical equipment in an electrical system;
• the one or more hardware processors executing the instructions stored in the system memory to determine a likelihood of the electrical system operating as intended when released into production, including the following:
• access time-synchronized commissioning data from a storage device, the time-synchronized commissioning data received from each of the plurality of monitoring devices over a computer network, the time-synchronized commissioning data synchronized between the plurality of monitoring devices in accordance with a local timing signal;
• for at least two pieces of electrical equipment from among the plurality of pieces of electrical equipment under test:
• compare time-synchronized commissioning data for the at least two pieces of electrical equipment relative to defined pass/fail criteria for an aspect of the electrical system, the pass/fail criteria defining appropriate operation of the aspect of the electrical system within the production environment;
• forecast the likelihood of the electrical system operating as intended in the production environment based on the comparison;
• and
• generate a report indicative of the forecasted operation of the electrical system within the production environment.

A device for monitoring characteristics associated with a piece of electrical equipment in an electrical system, the device comprising:

• one or more hardware processors;
• system memory coupled to the one or more hardware processors, the system memory storing instructions that are executable by the one or more hardware processors;
• network hardware from communicating with a commissioning center computer system over a computer network;
• one or more sensors for sensing characteristics associated with the piece of electrical equipment;
• a clock;
• and
• the one or more hardware processors executing the instructions stored in the system memory to collect time-synchronized commissioning data for the piece of electrical equipment, including the following:
• receive a local timing signal from the commissioning center computer system over a computer network, the local timing signal instructing the monitoring device to synchronize the clock to a specified time
• synchronize the clock with clocks at one or more other devices monitoring pieces of the electrical equipment in the electrical system;
• synchronize the clock to a first specified time based on the local timing signal;
• receive a command from the commissioning center computer system over the computer network, the command instructing the device to monitor one or more characteristics associated with operation of the piece of electrical equipment at a second specified time, the second specified time after the first specified time;
• monitor the piece of electrical equipment with the sensors when the clock indicates the second specified time to sense values for each of the one or more characteristics associated with operation of the piece of electrical equipment;
• transform the sensed values into time-synchronized commissioning data, the time-synchronized commissioning data indicative of the sensed values and that the second values were sensed at the second specified time;
• send the time-synchronized commissioning data to the commissioning center computer system for use in analysis and reporting to determine the likelihood of the electrical system operating as intended when released into production.
