Coupling Device for Energy Data Format Conversion

The patent introduces a coupling device as an intermediary component that standardizes data interfaces between diverse energy engineering devices and evaluation systems. This coupling device acts as a mediator that translates device-specific data formats into standardized formats, enabling complex data management without requiring proportional increases in system complexity. The coupling device handles the adaptation layer, allowing the evaluation system to remain relatively simple while still managing diverse power engineering data effectively.

The evaluation system is designed to automatically evaluate power engineering data without requiring continuous human intervention. The system autonomously processes data from multiple energy engineering devices, performs evaluations according to configured criteria, and generates results automatically. This self-service capability maintains high operational reliability through automated monitoring and alerting mechanisms while significantly reducing the need for experienced personnel to manually monitor complex automation solutions.

The patent segments the energy data management system into distinct functional modules: data acquisition at energy engineering devices, standardized coupling through the coupling device, and evaluation processing at the service provider's evaluation system. This segmentation allows essential evaluation functions to be standardized and transferred to service providers, reducing operational costs for individual energy supply companies. At the same time, each company retains control over their specific energy engineering devices and can customize evaluation criteria, maintaining adaptability and control over essential functions.
