Electrical power management system
First Claim
1. A monitoring system for an electrical power distribution system, comprising at least one monitoring device coupled to said power distribution system and producing an output signal representing a sensed condition, a data server receiving and storing data relating to said sensed condition from the power distribution system, said data server including a web server for transmitting a display of at least a portion of said stored data relating to said sensed condition, a controller receiving said output signal and producing a message in response to a change in said output signal representing a change in said sensed condition, said message including a hyperlink to said web server so that a recipient of said message can use said hyperlink to automatically access said web server to view data relating to said reported change in said sensed condition, and a message transmission device for transmitting said message to remote recipients.

Abstract
A system for monitoring an electrical power distribution system monitors a selected device or quantity in the power distribution system and produces an output signal representing a sensed condition; receives and stores data relating to the sensed condition from the power distribution system; stores a display of at least a portion of the stored data relating to the sensed condition; produces a message in response to a change in the output signal representing a change in the sensed condition and transmits the message to remote recipients, the message including a hyperlink to the display so that a recipient of the message can use the hyperlink to automatically access the display to view data relating to the reported change in the sensed condition. In one specific embodiment, the message is an email message that is automatically transmitted to preselected remote recipients in response to the change in the sensed condition.
