Scalable rules-based object-oriented power system control scheme

A device for controlling power delivery, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
• determine a plurality of objects arranged in an one-line topology, each object of the plurality of objects including a respective function and assigned to a respective position within the one-line topology;
• generate a plurality of routes to assign to a corresponding plurality of objects based on the one-line topology;
• control the plurality of routes by activating or deactivating to deliver power between a source and a load via the plurality of objects in the one-line topology, in accordance with a route priority determined based on a physical arrangement of switches along the plurality of routes within the one-line topology.

A method of controlling operation of machines, comprising:

• identifying, by one or more processors, a plurality of machines to coordinate delivery of electrical power between a source and a load in a one-line topology;
• generating, by the one or more processors, a plurality of virtual objects arranged in the one-line topology based on the plurality of machines, each object of the plurality of virtual objects including a respective function and assigned to a respective position within the one-line topology;
• determining, by the one or more processors, a plurality of point-to-point routes based on the one-line topology, each object of the plurality of virtual objects assigned to one or more of the plurality of point-to-point routes;
• and
• controlling, by the one or more processors, operation of the plurality of machines by activating or deactivating one or more of the plurality of point-to-point routes in accordance with a route priority to control the electrical power delivered between the source and the load through the one-line topology, the route priority determined based on a physical arrangement of switches along a corresponding one of the plurality of point-to-point routes within the one-line topology.
