Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing visualization technologies for power distribution links in data centers can only display a few devices and fail to fully represent the complex relationships and positions of power distribution devices, making it difficult for non-professionals to configure and maintain the power distribution link diagram.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for configuring a power distribution link diagram that includes generating presentation models and links based on user operations, utilizing a configuration panel to display and configure attribute information, and employing tools like line drawing, adjustment, and undo operations to simplify the configuration process.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If existing visualization technologies are used to display power distribution devices, then the number of devices that can be displayed is limited to one or a few, but the ability to fully display power distribution links and relative positions of devices in the entire data center deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The power distribution system is segmented into multiple hierarchical levels (data center level, micro-site level, device level). Each level can be independently configured and displayed, allowing the system to handle large numbers of devices while maintaining complete information about power distribution links and relative positions through structured organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from traditional two-dimensional diagrams to a three-dimensional spatial visualization that incorporates vertical layering (different floors, rooms, and equipment levels). This dimensional expansion enables simultaneous display of numerous devices while preserving complete spatial relationship information and power distribution pathways.
2Loss of information
If the power distribution link diagram is made professional and complex to fully represent power distribution relationships, then the completeness of information is improved, but the ease of configuration for non-professionals deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically generates the power distribution link diagram by extracting information from existing device data and configuration records. Non-professional users simply need to input basic device information, and the system self-configures the complete professional diagram with all power distribution relationships, eliminating the need for manual configuration while ensuring information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The configuration system serves multiple user types (professionals and non-professionals) through a unified interface. It automatically adapts the configuration process based on user input, generating comprehensive professional diagrams from simplified user-provided data, thus achieving both information completeness and ease of operation.
3Ease of operation
If a visual power distribution link diagram is created to help maintenance personnel view and locate faults conveniently, then the ease of fault location is improved, but the complexity of the entire power distribution system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a virtual three-dimensional copy of the physical power distribution system. This digital twin includes all devices, links, and spatial relationships, enabling maintenance personnel to view and locate faults conveniently in the virtual model without adding physical complexity to the actual power distribution infrastructure.

AI summary
Provided in the present disclosure are a method, an apparatus, a device, and a storage medium for configuring a power distribution link diagram. A first user operation performed by a user on a power distribution device list in a first interface is received, a presentation model corresponding to an object selected by the first user operation is generated in response to the first user operation, and the presentation model is displayed in a configuration area of the first interface. The power distribution link between presentation models is generated and displayed on reception of and in response to a second user operation. The configuration panel for a target presentation model and/or a target power distribution link is generated, on reception of and in response to a third user operation on the target presentation model and/or the target power distribution link. The configuration panel is for configuring attribute information of a power distribution device corresponding to the target presentation model and/or the target power distribution link. The method for quickly configuring a power distribution link diagram is provided, with which all power distribution devices in an entire data center and distribution links thereof can be easily viewed, a visualization level of the power distribution link diagram is improved, and an operation complexity is reduced. Hence, a great convenience is realized for power distribution maintenance and management of the data center.
