POWER MONITORING AND TESTING
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- storing an identifier for a first generator and an identifier for a second generator in a test script;
initiating a first test of the first generator by interpreting the test script via instructions executed by a processor;
monitoring progress of the first test;
displaying information to a user about the progress of the first test;
upon completion of the first test, automatically initiating a second test of the second generator;
monitoring progress of the second test; and
displaying information to the user about the progress of the second test.

Abstract
Systems and methods for monitoring, managing, and testing power systems are disclosed. In various embodiments, a site server collects data from one or more generators, automatic transfer switches, sensors, and cameras at a site. The site server stores captured data and triggers alarm events when preselected limits are exceeded. The site server also enables users to configure, initiate, pause, resume, monitor, and abort scripted tests of the monitored entities. In some of these and other embodiments, an enterprise-wide server collects data from multiple site servers, makes the data available via a web-based or other client interface, and provides consolidated monitoring, alarm, test management, and management resources.

5. A system for displaying data about a plurality of electrical generators, comprising a processor and a memory in communication with the processor, the memory storing programming instructions executable by the processor to present a graphical display that:
-
has at least a first and a second state; in the first state comprises a graphical depiction of the locations of a first plurality of electrical generators, and at least one graphical indicator that communicates information about the operational status of the first plurality of electrical generators; and in the second state comprises a graphical depiction of the location of a subset of the first plurality of electrical generators, and at least one graphical indicator that communicates information about the operational status of the subset of the first plurality of electrical generators; and responds when in the first state to particular user input by changing to the second state. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)

10. An electrical equipment test and monitoring system, comprising:
-
one or more sensors that detect the status of one or more generators; a video capture device that captures a sequence of images over time, each image showing at least part of the one or more generators; and a display in communication with the one or more sensors and the video capture device, wherein the display presents to a user an integrated view of the sequence of images and data characterizing the detected status of the one or more generators. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
