Abstract

A visualization system for visualizing electrical loads of an electrical distribution panel is disclosed in one embodiment. The system includes a sensor arrangement for sensing an electrical load of a plurality of electrical circuits protected by corresponding circuit breakers of the distribution panel and for providing corresponding sensor data, a data processing system for aggregating and storing the sensor data of the sensor arrangement, and a portable device. The portable device includes an image capturing unit and a display screen. It is configured to obtain a live image of at least a part of the electrical distribution panel from the image capturing unit, to identify individual circuit breakers within the live image, to obtain load information at least for the identified circuit breakers from the data processing system and to display the obtained load information in a structured way on the display screen of the portable device.

Embodiment Construction

[0020] figure 1 A schematic diagram of an energy metering system 100 according to an embodiment of the invention is shown. The energy metering system 100 includes three fixedly installed subsystems, namely the sensor subsystem 110 , the data acquisition subsystem 140 and the data analysis subsystem 170 . In other embodiments, several of these subsystems may be omitted, combined or divided into further subsystems. Additionally, the energy metering system 100 includes a cloud service 192 and a portable device 196 .

[0021] According to the described embodiment, the sensor subsystem 110 is mounted directly on a conventional switchboard 112 or in an enclosed fuse box. exist figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the switchboard 112 includes two vertical rows of circuit breakers 114 . Of course, in other embodiments, the circuit breakers 114 may be arranged horizontally or in a different number of rows and columns. Each circuit breaker 114 is connected to a power supply line...
