Abstract

A method for monitoring an electrical-energy transmission system having a plurality of system components. Each of the system components includes a sensor unit, which captures measurement data regarding at least one operating parameter of the system component, and a communication interface, which transmits the measurement data and component information regarding the system component. The measurement data and component information regarding a system component are transferred into a data cloud by way of the communication interface of the system component. A graphical user interface is configured to visualize information regarding the electrical-energy transmission system. The information is generated from the measurement data and component information transferred into the data cloud. A user profile defining the information displayed to the user is created for a user of the graphical user interface.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method of monitoring an electrical energy transmission system having multiple system components, each system component having a sensor unit configured to acquire measured data regarding at least one operating parameter of the system component and a communication interface configured to transmit the measured data and component information of the multiple system components, the method comprising:
transmitting the measured data and component information regarding the system component of the multiple system components to a data cloud via the communication interfaces of the system components;
providing a graphical user interface configured to visualize information about the electrical energy transmission system, wherein the information about the electrical energy transmission system is generated from the measured data and the component information transmitted to the data cloud;
displaying checkboxes on the graphical user interface for selection of information based on a marking of respective ones of the checkboxes by a user of the graphical user interface;
creating, by a user of the graphical user interface performing the marking of the respective ones of the checkboxes displayed on the graphical user interface, a user profile for the user of the graphical user interface that defines the selection of information that will be displayed to the user, the selection of information being defined by the graphical user interface and including selected portions of the measured data and component information of a respective component from the data cloud; and
storing the user profile of the user and, when the graphical user interface is called by the user, displaying the information defined by the user profile to the user;
wherein the user of the graphical user interface can change the user profile for the user of the graphical user interface by changing the marking of the respective ones of the checkboxes displayed on the graphical user interface.

2. The method according to claim 1 , which comprises enabling the user profile to be changed by accepting marked checkboxes to be changed by the user.

3. The method according to claim 1 , which comprises providing the graphical user interface with a plurality of filter levels that build logically on one another and are interlinked and have checkboxes, and wherein a marking of a combination of checkboxes of a filter level determines the checkboxes, displayed by the graphical user interface, of a filter level that follows the given filter level.

4. The method according to claim 3 , which comprises providing checkboxes of a first filter level enabling a selection of a respective group of system components.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein at least one group of system components comprises system components with an identical function.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein at least one group of system components comprises given system components that are arranged at a location of the electrical energy transmission system that is assigned to the given system components or in a spatial region of the electrical energy transmission system that is assigned to the given system components.

7. The method according to claim 4 , which comprises providing checkboxes of a second filter level enabling a selection of subgroups of the respective group of system components that are selected using the checkboxes of the first filter level.

8. The method according to claim 7 , which comprises providing checkboxes of a third filter level enabling a selection of individual system components.

9. The method according to claim 8 , which comprises providing checkboxes of a fourth filter level enabling a selection of information regarding system components that is displayed by the graphical user interface.

10. The method according to claim 1 , which comprises providing the graphical user interface by application software for terminals.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a set of computer executable instructions stored thereon, the computer executable instructions causing a computer to perform the method according to claim 1 when executed by the computer.
