Method and system for distributed energy generator message aggregation
View Patent ↗A method and system for aggregating messages. The method comprises obtaining, at a controller, a first plurality of messages related to operation of a distributed energy generator; generating, at the controller, a second plurality of messages from the first plurality, wherein each message in the second plurality has a start-time within a first time window; and generating, at the controller, a third plurality of messages from the second plurality, wherein each message in the third plurality has an end-time within a second time window and is associated with an indicia of a message group.
1. A method for aggregating messages, comprising:
obtaining, at a controller, a first plurality of messages related to operation of a distributed energy generator;
generating, at the controller, a second plurality of messages from the first plurality, wherein each message in the second plurality has a start-time within a first time window; and
generating, at the controller, a third plurality of messages from the second plurality, wherein each message in the third plurality has an end-time within a second time window and is associated with an indicia of a message group.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
associating, at the controller, the indicia with each message in the second plurality; and
disassociating, at the controller, the indicia from each message in the second plurality that is not contained within the third plurality.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating, at the controller, a fourth plurality of messages, the fourth plurality comprising each message from the second plurality that is not contained within the third plurality; and
generating, at the controller, a fifth plurality of messages from the fourth plurality, wherein each message in the fifth plurality has an end-time within a third time window and is associated with a second indicia of a second message group.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a history report comprising a single indication representing the third plurality.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing the indicia along with the third plurality.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of messages are retrieved from data storage.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of messages comprise at least one of alarm messages, alert messages, warning messages, or status messages.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein each message in the second plurality is of a same message type.
9. A computer readable medium comprising a program that, when executed by a processor, performs a method of aggregating messages, the method comprising:
obtaining a first plurality of messages related to operation of a distributed energy generator;
generating a second plurality of messages from the first plurality, wherein each message in the second plurality has a start-time within a first time window; and
generating a third plurality of messages from the second plurality, wherein each message in the third plurality has an end-time within a second time window and is associated with an indicia of a message group.
10. The computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises:
associating the indicia with each message in the second plurality; and
disassociating the indicia from each message in the second plurality that is not contained within the third plurality.
11. The computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises:
generating a fourth plurality of messages, the fourth plurality comprising each message from the second plurality that is not contained within the third plurality; and
generating a fifth plurality of messages from the fourth plurality, wherein each message in the fifth plurality has an end-time within a third time window and is associated with a second indicia of a second message group.
12. The computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises storing the indicia along with the third plurality.
13. The computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the first plurality of messages are retrieved from data storage.
14. A system for aggregating messages, comprising:
a distributed generator (DG) of energy; and
a controller, communicatively coupled to the DG, for (i) obtaining a first plurality of messages from the DG related to operation of the DG, (ii) generating a second plurality of messages from the first plurality, wherein each message in the second plurality has a start-time within a first time window, and (iii) generating a third plurality of messages from the second plurality, wherein each message in the third plurality has an end-time within a second time window and is associated with an indicia of a message group.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the first plurality of messages are generated by at least one of an inverter or a DC/DC converter.
16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the controller further:
associates the indicia with each message in the second plurality; and
disassociates the indicia from each message in the second plurality that is not contained within the third plurality.
17. The system of claim 14 , wherein the controller further:
generates a fourth plurality of messages, the fourth plurality comprising each message from the second plurality that is not contained within the third plurality; and
generates a fifth plurality of messages from the fourth plurality, wherein each message in the fifth plurality has an end-time within a third time window and is associated with a second indicia of a second message group.
18. The system of claim 14 , wherein the controller further stores the indicia along with the third plurality.
19. The system of claim 14 , wherein the controller retrieves the first plurality of messages from data storage.
20. The system of claim 14 , wherein the first plurality of messages comprise at least one of alarm messages, alert messages, warning messages, or status messages.
