Multi-domain situational awareness for infrastructure monitoring
First Claim
1. A method of monitoring multiple-domain data for interdependent infrastructure systems, the method comprising:
- receiving real-time data relevant to an infrastructure system from each of two or more different client domains;
aggregating the real-time data into a unified representation relevant to the infrastructure system by identifying relevance of the real-time data using an ontology and geolocation information derived from the real-time data, wherein the unified representation combines the real-time data from the different client domains into a single set of unified interface objects; and
displaying the unified representation in real time using two or more customizable graphical user interfaces, including displaying real-time data for a plurality of categories as trend lines along a time axis, wherein each trend line is associated with one of the plurality of categories, wherein respective widths of the trend lines vary based on magnitudes of the real-time data for the associated categories, and wherein each of the customizable graphical user interfaces receives access to different portions of the unified representation based on permissions associated with each of the different client domains.

Abstract
Apparatus and methods are disclosed for a monitoring system that integrates multi-domain data from weather, power, cyber, and/or social media sources to greatly increase situation awareness and drive more accurate assessments of reliability, sustainability, and efficiency in infrastructure environments, such as power grids. In one example of the disclosed technology, a method includes receiving real-time data from two or more different domains relevant to an infrastructure system, aggregating the real-time data into a unified representation relevant to the infrastructure system, and providing the unified representation to one or more customizable graphical user interfaces.

11. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
receiving real-time data from two or more different client domains relevant to a power infrastructure system, each of the client domains being for separate organizations or for different sub-organizations within the same organization, wherein the real-time data comprises social media data and power grid operating parameter data; aggregating the real-time data into a unified representation relevant to the power infrastructure system, wherein the unified representation combines the real-time data into a single set of unified interface objects based on geospatial data associated with the real-time data; and providing access to different portions of the unified representation to one or more customizable graphical user interfaces based on access permissions for the real-time data, the access permissions being controlled by policies applied by data producers in the client domains, and the customizable graphical user interfaces being configured to display a portion of the unified representation using the geospatial data, the portion including real-time data for a plurality of categories displayed as trend lines along a time axis, wherein each trend line is associated with one of the plurality of categories, and wherein respective widths of the trend lines vary based on magnitudes of the real-time data for the associated categories. - View Dependent Claims (12, 22)

13. A system for providing real-time situational awareness in an infrastructure environment, the system comprising:
-
one or more databases; one or more processors configured to store and access aggregated data stored in the databases; and one or more computer-readable storage devices comprising instructions executable by the processors that cause the processors to perform a method, the instructions comprising; instructions that cause the system to receive a first set of real-time data from a first client domain, the first set of real-time data comprising at least one or more of the following;
power grid capacity data, power grid topology data, or power grid connectivity data,instructions that cause the system to receive a second set of real-time data from a second client domain, instructions that cause the system to aggregate data from the received first and second sets of real-time data and storing the aggregated data in the databases, instructions that cause the system to provide the aggregated data for display with a graphical display user interface to display at least a portion of the first set of real-time data and at least a portion of the second set of real-time data in a unified representation, and instructions that cause the system to restrict access to the real-time data according to permissions for a particular user accessing the provided graphical display user interface, the permissions designated by the respective client domain that sent the data to the system, wherein the instructions that cause the system to provide the aggregated data for display with the graphical display user interface include instructions for displaying a theme river, the theme river displaying real-time data as trend lines for a plurality of categories, the categories being sorted by magnitudes of the data within different designated time periods of a time scale. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
