Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, electricity suppliers are often not provided with enough information about the grid to effectively monitor the grid during outages, peak demand times, etc.
For example, a natural disaster or event that produces a power failure may prevent a provider from deploying on-site crews to analyze electrical equipment on the grid
In addition, even if the power supplier is provided with information about the power equipment, the supplier may not be able to respond to and control the power failure in time to prevent further outages

Embodiment Construction

[0019] The present invention relates generally to fault isolation in electrical grids, and more particularly to systems and methods for decentralized and centralized fault isolation and service restoration in electrical grids. In various embodiments, the present invention provides communication and monitoring capabilities of the grid to more effectively manage the grid as it becomes more complex and difficult to manage. For example, in order to manage the many different needs of the grid and to ensure that the grid works most efficiently, the invention provides an Internet Protocol (IP) backplane for the traditional grid to allow utilities (e.g., service providers, power suppliers, etc.) and electricity Efficient communication between electrical devices on the Internet.

[0020] More specifically, the present invention provides Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) as a low-latency, scalable communication protocol for use between electrical grids, especially between electrical equ...

Abstract

Fault isolation and service restoration in an electrical grid are provided. An approach for receiving a notification message including a state of an electrical component on an electrical grid, and determining, by a computing system, a command message including at least one action to take in response to the state of the electrical component, is described. The approach further includes sending the command message to at least one of the electrical component and other electrical components on the electrical grid.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to fault isolation in electrical grids, and more particularly to systems and methods for decentralized and centralized fault isolation and service restoration in electrical grids. Background technique [0002] The grid is an interconnected network used to deliver electricity from suppliers to consumers. More specifically, an electrical grid is a vast, interconnected network of transmission lines from electricity suppliers to electricity consumers. Consumers can be individual consumers or industrial consumers, for example. [0003] Managing the electrical grid has become increasingly important in order to distribute electricity more efficiently and in an environmentally friendly manner. For example, grids are already beginning to be connected to lower or zero emission sources such as wind, hydropower and solar. In another example, an electricity provider charges a discount for off-peak electricity consumption, ...
