First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a computing platform comprising a first interface to receive inputs from sensors that comprise a part of a grid structure comprised of at least one of a power transmission grid and a power distribution grid, the computing platform configured to execute an electrical power grid simulator program and further comprising a second interface configured to communicate with at least one user device through a communication layer; and
a user device connected with the computing platform through the communication layer, the user device comprising a graphical user interface, at least one data processor, and at least one non-transitory computer readable medium that stores program instructions, where execution of the stored program instructions enables the user device tospecify, in response to input from the graphical user interface, at least one initial condition and a type of simulation to be performed by the electrical power grid simulator program based on the at least one initial condition;
to transmit the specified type of simulation and the at least one initial condition from the user device to the computing platform;
to receive from the computing platform a result of the simulation at the user device, the simulation being based on at least one of a steady state model of the grid structure and a dynamical model of the grid structure; and
to visualize the result of the simulation with the user interface, where a visualization of the result comprises a result of the simulation of at least one scenario and displays a multi-dimensional representation comprised of indicators, where each indicator corresponds to at least one simulation result, and where a user selection of one of the indicators initiates visualizing a result of the simulation of the corresponding simulation result or results.

Abstract
A data processing system includes a user interface with a user input configured to enable a user to specify a type of simulation to be performed and at least one initial condition, where the simulation is executed using at least one sensor input from a grid structure composed of at least one of a power transmission and distribution grid. The user interface further has a display configured to visualize a representation of a result of a simulation of at least one scenario by presenting a multi-dimensional representation comprised of indicators, where each indicator corresponds to at least one simulation result. The user interface responds to a selection of one of the indicators by the user to visualize a result of the corresponding simulation. The type of simulation can be an N−k contingency analysis simulation, where k is equal to zero, 1 or greater than 1.
