Systems and methods for intuitive modeling of complex networks in a digital environment

摘要

A system for modeling a topology of an electrical power system may include a memory device to maintain a component database, a component control engine, and a power system topology modeling engine. A display device can be configured for displaying the topology of the electrical power system. An input device can be operative to select one of a plurality of power system components stored in the component database as a selected component, position the selected component within a framework, and interface the selected component with other selected components within the framework. A processor can be operative to execute instructions within the component control engine to control the position of the selected components within the framework and execute instructions within the power system topology modeling engine to render the topology of the electrical system after the selected components have been positioned.

1. A computer system for modeling a topology of an electrical power system, the topology comprising a plurality of power system components, the computer system comprising:
a processor; a component database; a component control engine that
receives a selection of one of a plurality of power system components stored in the component database as a selected component,receives a position of the selected component within a framework, andinterfaces the selected component with other selected components within the framework, wherein the selected components comprise representations of one or more of a generator, motor, governor, relay, transformer, breaker, fuse, and transmission line; a power system topology modeling engine that
renders each of the selected components, which represent physical devices that are not shaped like jigsaw puzzle pieces, as drag-and-drop virtual jigsaw puzzle pieces with virtual male or virtual female connectors, wherein the virtual male connectors comprise rounded jigsaw tabs, and wherein the virtual female connectors comprise rounded jigsaw cuts to receive the rounded jigsaw tabs,renders the topology of the electrical power system, the topology comprising the selected components, andgenerates a virtual system model of the electrical power system, wherein the virtual system model comprises virtual component data corresponding to the selected components; a virtual modeling engine that generates predicted output using the virtual system model; and an analytics engine that
monitors the predicted output and real-time output from at least one sensor of the electrical power system, andsynchronizes the virtual system model with the electrical power system based on the real-time output when a difference between the predicted output and the real-time output falls between a set value and an alarm condition value.
