energy_network_visualization

Visualization task of energy network flow. Data are stored in energyNetwork_24h.hdf5 file. There are 24 folders for each hour in day.

Solution was based on MVC design pattern.

Each class contains:

• DataLoader - functions to load data
• Server is a GUI - functions to control visualization
• ViewVisualization - functions to wrap data for visualization in GUI

Data structure:

• results/hour_1/
  • nodes -> node_id, node_type, demand [MW]
  • gens -> node_id, generation [MW], cost [zł]
  • branches -> node_from, node_to, flow [MW]
• results/hour_2/
• ...
• results/hour_24/

Implemented functionality

• Differences in the flows on the edges
  • Draw arrows on edges which show direction of flow
• Differences in the operation of nodes (the node gets power from others, the node generates power for others)
  • Black node (gets power from others
  • Green node (generates power)
  • Yellow node (consume more power than is generating)
• Clustering edges by value of flow
  • Edges are colored with the same color if are in the same group
  • TextArea displays created groups
• distinguishing the amount of generated power
  • Size of the node show how much power it generates. The bigger the more
• Histogram of consumed power
  • Display histogram with consumed power of each node
  • Clicking a node will change a color of column on a histogram showing where the node is

Example of a graph with 3 groups

how to run:

python run_server.py --filename for instance: python .\run_server.py --filename=energyNetwork_24h.hdf5
