20140285154 | Systems and Methods for Restoring Service Within Electrical Power Systems - Systems and methods for restoring service within electrical power systems are disclosed. The methods may include identifying a restoration path for an outage area within a power system, selecting a mobile energy resource connection site that is electrically connected to at least one of the restoration path and the outage area, sending power injection requests to a plurality of mobile energy resources, at least some of which may be proximate the connection site, receiving power injection acceptances from participating ones of the plurality of mobile energy resources, and implementing the restoration path. The systems may include a processor and a computer readable storage medium having a plurality of machine-readable instructions embodied thereon and con figured for execution by the processor to carryout the method. | 09-25-2014 |

20080225452 | Advanced Feeder Architecture With Automated Power Restoration - A method and apparatus for restoring power to loads connected to a feeder powered by a power source. The feeder is provided with a plurality of switching devices and a master electronic device which is in operative communication with the switching devices and has a plurality of power restoration plans stored therein. Upon occurrence of a fault in a zone of the feeder, the identity of the switching device which is closest to and upstream from the faulted zone relative to the power source is used in order to select a power restoration plan and restore power to some or all the loads connected to non-faulted zones of the feeder from one or more additional feeders. | 09-18-2008 |
20140108851 | Online Protection Coordination for Distribution Management System - A method for automatic protection coordination in a power system network comprises identifying radial source-to-load paths and fault protection devices in the source-to-load paths, for a portion of the power system network to be coordinated. Device settings data for fault protection devices are retrieved, including multiple preconfigured settings for some devices. Fault currents for each of multiple possible electrical faults in said portion of the power system network are predicted, and a selectivity check for each pair of fault protection devices that are adjacent to one another in an identified radial source-to-load path is performed, for each of one or more of the predicted fault currents, taking into account multiple preconfigured settings for remotely controllable fault protection devices. A combination of settings for remotely controllable fault protection devices that minimizes selectivity violations among the pairs is selected, and necessary change-setting commands are sent to remotely controllable fault protection devices. | 04-17-2014 |

20130282189 | DISTRIBUTED ELECTRICAL POWER NETWORK MODEL MAINTENANCE - Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for maintaining a distributed electrical power network model associated with a power grid. A global power network model, comprising a global logical representation of the power grid, may be maintained at a network control center configured to manage one or more substations associated with the power grid. The network control center may host grid management applications that may utilize the global power network model. A local power network model, comprising a local logical representation of a power grid territory within the power grid monitored by a substation, may be maintained at the substation. The substation may host one or more local grid management applications that may utilize the local power network model. The global power network model and the local power network model may be synchronized in response to events occurring within the power grid. | 10-24-2013 |
