Facilitating Analysis of a Electrical Power System
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- a display;
a processor; and
a storage device storing instructions executable by the processor toreceive a user request to operate in a first input/output mode, in the first input/output mode, display a graphical representation of an electrical power system illustrating components and connectivities in a schematic view, display a user interface comprising a plurality of candidate electrical power system components;
receive a first user input specifying a selected component of the plurality of candidate electrical power component to include in the electrical power system and also a connectivity for the selected component;
in response, display the selected component in the graphical representation of the electrical power system and also store the selected component and the connectivity for the selected component in a data structure representing components and connectivities in the electrical power system;
receive a user request to operate in a second input/output mode;
in the second input/output mode, display a text-based representation of the distribution system organizing the components and connectivities in a tabular view.

Abstract
Examples related to facilitating analysis of an electrical power system are disclosed. One disclosed example provides a device comprising a display, a processor, and a storage device storing instructions executable by the processor to receive a request to operate in first and second input/output modes. In the first mode, the instructions are executable to display a graphical representation of an electrical power system illustrating components and connectivities in a schematic view, and receive a user input specifying a selected component of a plurality of candidate components and also an associated connectivity. The instructions are executable to display the selected component in the graphical representation of the electrical power system and store the selected component and associated connectivity in a data structure. In the second mode, the instructions are executable to display a text-based representation of the distribution system organizing the components and connectivities in a tabular view.

17. A method for alerting a user to an error in a representation of an electrical power system, the method comprising:
-
for each of a plurality of components of an electrical power system, receiving input of component data and connectivity data; storing the component data and connectivity data in a data structure representing the plurality of components of the electrical power system as nodes, and conductors of the electrical power system as connectivities between the nodes; displaying a representation of the electrical power system in an input/output user interface view; validating the data structure by evaluating the nodes and connectivities for violations of any rules defining constraints of a valid data structure; and presenting an alert to the user responsive to detecting a violation of a rules for the data structure. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
