Patent ID: 8170856

Claim:
A system for real-time three-dimensional (3D) visualization of an electrical system, comprising: a data acquisition component communicatively connected to a sensor configured to acquire real-time data output from the electrical system; a power analytics server communicatively connected to the data acquisition component, comprising a virtual system modeling engine configured to generate predicted data output for the electrical system utilizing a virtual system model of the electrical system, an analytics engine configured to monitor the real-time data output and the predicted data output of the electrical system, the analytics engine further configured to initiate a calibration and synchronization operation to update the virtual system model in real-time when a difference between the real-time data output and the predicted data output exceeds a threshold, a machine learning engine configured to store and process patterns observed from the real-time data output and the predicted data output, the machine learning engine further configured to forecast an aspect of the electrical system, and a 3D visualization engine configured to render the virtual system model and the forecasted aspect into a 3D visual model of the electrical system; and a client terminal communicatively connected to the power analytics server and configured to display the 3D visual model.
