Abstract

The invention broadly encompasses a system including a communications network, a plurality of remotely located data sources to provide power data, the power data including quantitative and qualitative data of one or more power generation units, and a performance monitor in communication with the plurality of remotely located data sources through the communications network, the performance monitor including a communications unit to extract the power data from the plurality of remotely located data sources, a data conversion unit to transform the power data into a common data format, a data store to store the transformed power data, and a user interface unit to display the transformed power data on one or more client devices through the communications network.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a communications network;

a plurality of remotely located data sources to provide power data, the power data including quantitative and qualitative data of one or more power generation units; and

a performance monitor in communication with the plurality of remotely located data sources through the communications network, the performance monitor including

a communications unit to extract the power data from the plurality of remotely located data sources,

a data conversion unit to transform the power data into a common data format,

a data store to store the transformed power data, and

a user interface unit to display the transformed power data on one or more client devices through the communications network.
