Informed Dashboard Designs for Microgrid Electricity Market Operators

Abstract

Whilst many energy companies provide dashboard interfaces for consumer data analysis; there are very few examples of microgrid, grid-connected or fringe-of-grid monitoring systems. In this work, we report on a thorough investigation of existing data visualisation and dashboard interfaces, their target users and typical content. These findings, together with the context and needs of a large university campus microgrid help to inform our prototype dashboard designs for microgrid market operators.
