METHOD OF VISUALIZING POWER SYSTEM QUANTITIES USING A CONFIGURABLE SOFTWARE VISUALIZATION TOOL
First Claim
1. A system for displaying information gathered from phasor measurement units, comprising:
- a plurality of phasor measurement units;
a computing system comprised of at least a data processor;
a first display for visually depicting information;
a communications connection;
a software program;
said software program being executed by the data processor;
said data processor being directed by said software program to collect data associated with the phasor measurement units via the communications connection;
said data processor being directed by said software program to create a form on said first display;
said data processor being directed by said software program to divide said form into one or more sub-forms; and
said data processor being directed by said software program to display visualizations of the data associated with the phasor measurement units in one or more of the sub-forms.

Abstract
A system for transmitting synchronized phasors over a wide area network. The system generally includes a plurality of phasor measurement units (PMUs). Each of the PMUs are associated with a secured portion of a power system and measure power system data from the secured portion of the power system associated therewith. The power system data is associated with a time-element. A power system data concentrator is further provided in communication with the phasor measurement units such that it aggregates and time-correlates the power system data. A configurable docking visualization tool or software is provided which communicates with the PMUs and data aggregators. The configurable tool provides an end user with the ability to dock or nest pre-configured forms for optimal viewing of synchronized phasor data and different power system quantities.
