Systems and methods for aggregating and integrating distributed grid element inputs are disclosed. A data platform is provided for a distribution power grid. The data platform provides a crowd-sourced gaming system for identifying grid elements and determining dynamic electric power topology. The data platform also provides an interactive interface for displaying a view of a certain area with identified grid elements. The data platform communicatively connects to the identified grid elements, collects data from the identified grid elements, and manages the distribution power grid.

There is provision of an operation support system for supporting an operation of a demand-supply system including a resource supplying facility and a resource demander facility. The operation support system receives an input of a demand-supply system model of the demand-supply system, facility-capacity information of the resource supplying facility, and analysis condition information defining a plurality of variables and an external variable of the demand-supply system, to generate a correlation logical formula representing a relation among the plurality of variables and the external variable. The operation support system further acquires performance data of the demand-supply system which includes actual values of the plurality of variables and the external variable during an operation, and renders an area represented by the correlation logical formula when the external variable is equal to an actual data included in the performance data and a point represented by the performance data of the plurality of variables.

A computer-implemented method for providing an estimated utility expenditure to a user may include: obtaining, via one or more processors, historical transactional data of one or more customers other than the user from one or more transactional entities, wherein the historical transactional data includes: at least one address of a given customer of the one or more customers; and a historical utility expenditure associated with the at least one address; generating, via the one or more processors, a heatmap based on the historical transactional data of the one or more customers via one or more algorithms, wherein the heatmap is indicative of at least the estimated utility expenditure associated with the at least one address during a predetermined period; and causing a display of a user device associated with the user to demonstrate the heatmap.

A battery management platform including a battery configured to supply a type of power to at least one load device, and a central charging station configured to provide power to charge the battery while the battery is coupled to the central charging station. The central charging station including a locking mechanism configured to: secure the battery to the central charging station when a status of the battery is determined to be checked-in, and disengage to allow the battery to be removed when the status is verified to be check-out. Wherein the locking mechanism includes an override function configured to allow a user to disengage the locking mechanism without an electronic command.

System, method, and interface for visualized resource allocation and algorithms for the reallocation of resources to achieve a goal. The system analyses an initial state of resource allocation, a cost function for undesirable resources, and a set of potential incremental improvements, each with an associated cost, and determines a step-wise path of applying the incremental improvements to achieve an ultimate resource-allocation goal in an economically feasible way. Simultaneously, a user interface depicts the state of the allocation at the beginning, at the end, and along the path, allowing an intuitive understanding of how the goal will be achieved.

A device uses linking rules to process and optionally update a hierarchical substation model of a power system substation. The linking rules determine to which substation object at a first hierarchy level substation objects at a further hierarchy level of the hierarchical substation model are to be connected.

An interactive test equipment for quality evaluation of an insulative electric resistance value of an electric power cable at least includes a control unit, a test question type module and an operating module. The test question type module includes at least a test set. Each of the at least a test set includes at least an electric resistance value measuring part each of which has an electric voltage value display and an electric resistance value display to respectively display electric voltage values and electric resistance values of a corresponding cable. Besides, the operating module is used to initiate the interactive test equipment, to select answers, and the control unit is used to load question types and to make judgment on answers. Accordingly, test subjects are authenticated and evaluated for a judgment ability thereof in order for ensuring safety of a working environment.

An interactive test equipment for quality evaluation of power transformers includes at least a control unit, a test question type module and an operating module. The test question type module includes at least a test set, and each of the at least a test set has a transformer, a voltage value display and a resistance value display. Based on the above design, the voltage value display and the resistance value display of the each of the at least a test set can display a measured voltage value and a measured resistance value of wiring connection of a corresponding transformer. Test subjects can initiate the interactive test equipment and select answers through the operating module, and load questions and determine answers through the control unit. The interactive test equipment is used to authenticate and evaluate a judgment ability of the test subjects in order to ensure safety of a working environment.

A method for evaluation, measurement and verification of energy savings achieved by an installation of an energy saving device, such as an advanced power strip or energy hub device. The method includes an installer installing an energy saving device in a premises supplied with electricity by an energy supplier. Installation information is recorded and to a monitoring entity, usage data describing the ongoing use and power consumption of the energy saving device is then transmitted to the monitoring entity.

An alert presentation apparatus (EMS (200)) acquires the amounts of power consumed by loads connected to a system, and on the basis of the acquired power amounts, presents a load list including the power consumption of each load. This alert presentation apparatus (EMS (200)) presents the load list so as to reduce the frequency at which the loads that are on the load list change.
