Method and apparatus for energy flow visualization

Apparatus for visualizing energy flows, comprising:

• a controller comprising at least one processor and an energy flow visualization module for:
• obtaining a plurality of measured energy flow values for a plurality of energy flows between a plurality of energy sources and a plurality of energy sinks, wherein at least one of measured energy flow value of the plurality of measured energy flow values is a measurement of energy flow from an energy source of the plurality of energy sources to two or more energy sinks of the plurality of energy sinks;
• computing a plurality of energy flow values based on the measured energy flow values and a set of energy priority allocation rules, wherein each computed energy flow value of the plurality of energy flow values represents energy flow between an energy source of the plurality of energy sources and an energy sink of the plurality of energy sinks;
• and
• generating a display image representing at least one computed energy flow value of the plurality of energy flow values.

A computer readable medium comprising a program that, when executed by a processor, performs a method for visualizing energy flows, the method comprising:

• obtaining a plurality of measured energy flow values for a plurality of energy flows between a plurality of energy sources and a plurality of energy sinks, wherein at least one of measured energy flow value of the plurality of measured energy flow values is a measurement of energy flow from an energy source of the plurality of energy sources to two or more energy sinks of the plurality of energy sinks;
• computing a plurality of energy flow values based on the measured energy flow values and a set of energy priority allocation rules, wherein each computed energy flow value of the plurality of energy flow values represents energy flow between an energy source of the plurality of energy sources and an energy sink of the plurality of energy sinks;
• and
• generating a display image representing at least one computed energy flow value of the plurality of energy flow values.
