Energy Management System Dashboard - Feature List

1. Real-Time Monitoring Dashboard

1.1 Live Energy Flow Visualization

• Interactive Sankey diagram showing energy flows between:
  • Solar -> Load / Battery / Grid
  • Battery -> Load / Grid
  • Grid -> Load / Battery
• Real-time power values (kW) on each flow path
• Directional arrows with animated flow intensity

Sankey Diagram

Example Design Reference

Note: The above mentioned image, is soley for reference the actual UI will be developed seperately.

Description:

Flow Direction:

• Solar -> Load: When solar generation > 0 and building is consuming
• Solar -> Battery: When solar generation > load demand
• Solar -> Grid: When solar > (load + battery charging capacity)
• Battery -> Load: When battery discharging to meet load
• Battery -> Grid: When battery exporting to grid for revenue
• Grid -> Load: When grid supplying power to building
• Grid -> Battery: When grid charging battery

Flow thickness calculation

Thickness = (Power in kW / Max System Capacity) * Max Line Width

Animation Logic

• Flow Speed: Proportional to power (faster = more power)
• Direction = arrow direction on line
• Particle density = power density (more particles = more power)

Note: The UI designed should be mobile responsive so use flex boxes and make sure they render properly across multiple screens.

1.2 Multi-Site Overview (Multiple Locations)

Note: This is for a representation of the below description, the actual UI maybe designed similarly but not exactly.

Map View

• Interactive map showing all our Solar+BESS locations

• Cluster display when multiple sites are close together

Site status indicators

• Green = Normal operation
• Yellow = Warning (e.g., low battery, underperformance)
• Red = Fault (equipment failure, communication lost)
• Gray = Offline/maintenance

Quick-View Site Cards

Each site has a clickable card showing:

• Site Name
• Status: 🟢 Normal
• Last Updated: 2 min ago
