Power switching via arc schematic

A method for providing a power grid arc diagram comprising:

• storing power measurements from a power grid and geographical topology data of devices on the power grid via a memory device;
• generating an arc diagram based on the geographical topology data;
• displaying the arc diagram which comprises a plurality of nodes corresponding to a plurality of devices on the power grid, wherein the plurality of nodes are arranged along a single horizontal line;
• and
• arranging at least one arc-shaped structure between each node of the plurality of nodes based on the power measurements, where arc-shaped structures connecting nodes above the horizontal line represents power flowing in a forward direction and where arc-shaped structure connecting nodes below the horizontal line represents power flowing in a reverse direction enabling an operator to visualize current conditions of an electrical network and to at least one of input commands and perform operations for switching power on and off, and the like, to at least one of the plurality of the devices on the electrical network of the power grid.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions which when executed by a processor cause a computer to perform a method for providing a power grid arc diagram comprising:

• storing power measurements from a power grid and geographical topology data of devices on the power grid via a memory device;
• generating an arc diagram based on the geographical topology data;
• displaying the arc diagram which comprises a plurality of nodes corresponding to a plurality of devices on the power grid, wherein the plurality of nodes are arranged along a single horizontal line;
• and
• arranging at least one arc-shaped structure between each node of the plurality of nodes based on the power measurements, where arc-shaped structures connecting nodes above the horizontal line represents power flowing in a forward direction and where arc-shaped structure connecting nodes below the horizontal line represents power flowing in a reverse direction enabling an operator to visualize current conditions of an electrical network and to at least one of input commands and perform operations for switching power on and off, and the like, to at least one of the plurality of the devices on the electrical network of the power grid.
