First Claim
1. A method of providing enterprise energy data over a network, the method comprising:
- generating a polar coordinated plot on a display of a computing device;
generating at least one power line data value on the polar coordinated plot as a function of a power indication value monitored over a predetermined period of time;
generating a vector on the polar coordinated plot originating from a point of origin on the polar coordinated plot to the at least one power line data value;
adjusting a power level display on the display of the computing device as a function of the location of the vector to display a data value associated with the location of the vector; and
further comprising plotting a tariff line data value on the polar coordinated plot as a function of the tariff structure.

Abstract
An Enterprise Energy Management (“EEM”) software system is disclosed that displays EEM data and allows a user to interact with the data to better understand and manage their electrical system. The EEM software system collects real-time, near real-time and historical input data from various data sources, creates useful information from that data by filtering and isolating relevant data and performing analytics on the data, displays that data to the user in an easy to understand format, and allows the user to interact with the displayed data. The EEM software allows the user to perform what-if analysis, make changes in their system and verify results of those changes. The graphical user interfaces provide context sensitive and relevant guidance to novice and expert users.
