Visualizing energy flows (Sankey)
Description
Using the energy flow diagram, you represent the energy flows as arrows whose width is proportional to the flow rate. This helps you recognize, for example, how energy is flowing through your plant.
Procedure
To define widget-specific display options, follow these steps:
-
Create a new widget of the type "Sankey" or edit an existing one.
-
In step 2, select a parameter which is visualized in the widget.
-
Click to define the required node.
You specify a link for each parameter from the source node to the destination node. This defines the volume flows.
-
Assign a node name and select a color for the node.
-
You can also scale each link so that you can still show the proportions of the arrows correctly even with different units, such as kilowatts or liters.
Result
The Sankey diagram shows you how the energy is flowing through the plant:
