Abstract: Systems and methods for demonstrating power control system (PCS) operating sequences provide a model builder and a sequence builder. The PCS model builder allows a user to build a graphical model of a PCS using drag-and-drop objects representing PCS components, such as generators, circuit breakers, transfer switches, and the like. The PCS sequence builder allows the user to enter plain language commands that represent operations performed by the model objects. The model builder then graphically animates the model according to the plain language commands. Animation may include changing an image color, shape, configuration, position, orientation, or size for the model objects. This allows any user to graphically demonstrate how a PCS would work before resources are invested toward developing the PCS.

Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying correct completion of a power control sequence in a switchgear provide a commissioning agent that can automatically verify correct completion of the power control sequence. The commissioning agent includes a sequence verification tool that can initiate performance of a power control sequence in the switchgear and immediately compare the sequence actually performed to the sequence intended to be performed. If the two sequences do not match in order and timing, the verification tool reports the mismatch and identifies the error. In some embodiments, the commissioning agent further includes a log viewer that captures the sequence actually performed in the switchgear and displays the result for viewing. Such an arrangement provides a faster and more reliable way to double-check the system integrity of the switchgear during initial engineering and after factory and/or field modifications.

Abstract: Multiple bus generator and load control monitoring system for electrical switchgear is provided. In one arrangement, the system is designed to allow for the increased functionality of a single bus system to be used in multiple bus systems wherein the multiple buses are separated or combined together to act as a single bus. Each bus within the multiple bus system may be able to utilize increased functionality of a typical generator bus and load control system independently if separated. Separate bus structures may be separated by some sort of isolation device, for example: a circuit breaker, transfer switch, or the like. If the bus segments are connected together via isolation devices, then the combination of the overall connected bus structure will act as a single entity, while containing enhanced automation functions.
