摘要

An energy management system has a control center at a utility company and logic resources that provide a real time assessment of a potentially compromising situation that can effect the utility company. At least one situational dashboard panel is provided. The logic resources enable users to dynamically create their own dashboards from large overviews, regional schematic displays and station one-line displays that assist in assessing the potentially compromising situation of the utility company.

1. An energy management system, comprising:
a processor; and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory having stored therein computer-executable instructions, comprising:
a control center component comprising one or more geographical displays of a power system;at least one logic resource component configured to provide, in the one or more geographical displays, real time situational awareness information of a potential energy management failure selected from at least one of, energy distribution, energy generation, energy transmission and energy market systems, the at least one logic resource configured to re-use at least a portion of data and configurations from pre-existing software applications already in place in the control center; anda user interface component configured to enable an operator to perform a lasso or rubber band input on a selected geographic area of a geographical display of the one or more geographical displays and drop the selected geographic area into a situational dashboard panel, wherein in response to dropping the selected geographic area into the situational dashboard panel, the user interface creates a fly-out window of the selected geographic area with projection lines drawn from the selected geographic area of the geographical display to the fly-out window.
