An object of the invention is to efficiently create a 3D model of a plant with attributes from a 3D model of a plant with no attributes. In order to solve the above problems, in the invention, a connection information conversion part 5 converts a connection relationship of parts extracted from a 3D model with no attributes 2 into connection information of a system diagram, an extraction information comparing part 6 compares the connection information with the connection relationship extracted from an attribute system diagram to create an conversion correspondence DB 7, and a 3D model with attributes 9 is created based on the conversion correspondence DB from the 3D model with no attributes 2.

An information processing apparatus (10) is for supporting work by a user who uses drawings for a plant. The information processing apparatus (10) includes a controller (15). The controller (15) is configured to convert a drawing including elements configuring the plant into an abstract model represented by element information indicating the elements and connection information indicating a connection relationship between the elements. The controller (15) is configured to generate display information, when it is judged that a difference exists between one abstract model based on one drawing and another abstract model based on another drawing, for displaying the differing portion in a different form than another portion.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a storage device, for electric grid asset detection are enclosed. An electric grid asset detection method includes: obtaining overhead imagery of a geographic region that includes electric grid wires; identifying the electric grid wires within the overhead imagery; and generating a polyline graph of the identified electric grid wires. The method includes replacing curves in polylines within the polyline graph with a series of fixed lines and endpoints; identifying, based on characteristics of the fixed lines and endpoints, a location of a utility pole that supports the electric grid wires; detecting an electric grid asset from street level imagery at the location of the utility pole; and generating a representation of the electric grid asset for use in a model of the electric grid.

Tools and techniques are described to automate commissioning of physical spaces. Controllers have access to databases of the devices that are controlled by them, including wiring diagrams and protocols, such that the controller can automatically check that each wire responds correctly to stimulus from the controller. Controllers also have access to databases of the physical space such that they can check that sensors in the space record the correct information for device activity, and sensors can cross-check each other for consistency. Once a physical space is commissioned, incentives can be sought based on commissioning results.

A method for determining a physical model of an energy installation from a plurality of components linked together according to one or more constraints to form a tree, called tree of constraints, each component including one or more output ports, each output port being associated with a physical quantity of which the value depends on one or more variables internal to the component and/or on one or more variables external to the component, each external variable being communicated to the component through an input port. A second aspect relates to a method for controlling an electrical installation including a first phase of determining a physical model of the installation using the described method; and a second control phase during which each set point is determined as a function of a simulation carried out using the physical model obtained during the phase of determining a physical model of the energy installation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining cable routes of a railway infrastructure are described herein. A graphical user interface for interacting with graphical representations of railway infrastructure on a map interface is operated. A request for at least one cable route between a first position and a second position of the railway infrastructure is received. Railway infrastructure information indicative of configuration of the railway infrastructure between the first position and the second position is obtained. The at least one cable route is determined based on the railway infrastructure information. The at least one cable route is displayed on the graphical user interface.

Techniques for creating a design for a physical device are disclosed. A computing system receives a design specification. The design specification includes a design region, one or more ports, and a port location perimeter. The computing system determines an initial proposed design based on the design specification that includes the design region and a location for each port of the one or more ports within the port location perimeter. The computing system optimizes the design region of the initial proposed design to create an improved design region, and optimizes at least one location of a port of the one or more ports within the port location perimeter to create an improved proposed design.
