Methods, devices, and systems for distributed monitoring based adaptive diagnosis of power anomalies in a power network

A method for detecting an anomaly in a power network, the method comprising:

• determining a baseline power usage in the power network;
• receiving data indicative of an active power usage in the power network;
• detecting an anomaly based on a difference between the baseline power usage and the active power usage;
• isolating a fault for an element in the power network, responsive to detecting the anomaly;
• transmitting fault isolation information indicating the fault to a user device;
• determining a feedback based on the anomaly;
• and modifying the baseline power usage based on the feedback, wherein the element is at a lower level hierarchy of the power network than the anomaly,
• wherein isolating the fault comprises:
• identifying, with a main anomaly detection circuit, a main anomaly in a first element of a main meter hierarchy of the power network comprising a plurality of first elements;
• searching, with a lower anomaly detection circuit, for a lower anomaly in a plurality of second elements of the lower level hierarchy that is lower than the main meter hierarchy, wherein the plurality of second elements are associated with the first element;
• and identifying, with the lower anomaly detection circuit, a second element of the plurality of second elements associated with the lower anomaly,
• wherein determining the feedback based on the anomaly comprises:
• generating data related to the active power usage and the anomaly;
• and triggering generation of the feedback based on the data related to the active power usage and the anomaly.
