Electricity meter management of circuit breaker open-switch events

Techniques for smart electricity meter operation and management of open-switch events are described. In an example, a voltage value of a transformer-side of a service site is measured. Power consumption at the service site is measured. Based at least in part on the voltage value being non-zero and the power consumption being zero, it is determined that an open-switch event occurred. That is, because the utility company is supplying typical voltage to the electricity meter, and because the power consumption is zero, a breaker switch may have tripped. Accordingly, a customer of the service site is notified of the open-switch event.

Electric grid load forecasts with distributed photovoltaic generation

In the context of an electrical utility system, changing cloud conditions may cause a customer having solar panels to greatly increase or decrease electrical demand in a difficult-to-predict manner. Accordingly, a spinning reserve maintained by an electric utility company must be larger, and is therefore more expensive. In an example, the spinning reserve may be managed by: calculating a stable sequence of forecasts of smoothed real-time consumption, wherein the calculating is based at least in part on smoothed estimates of consumption data. A stable sequence of forecasts of real-time measured load may be calculated by subtracting forecasts of real-time distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) generation data from the stable sequence of forecasts of smoothed real-time consumption. The spinning reserve of the electricity system may be controlled based at least in part on the stable sequence of forecasts of real-time measured load.
