Auto-scalable, resilient cloud-based power quality analysis engine

A power quality analysis system, comprising:

• a smart breaker network having one or more smart meters coupled to respective loads and structured to measure power quality parameters;
• a cloud comprising a hub that is coupled to the smart breaker network and structured to receive the power quality parameters from the one or more smart meters, the cloud operative to, via at least one computing device of the cloud:
• execute a power quality analysis (PQA) algorithm to identify the power quality parameters to be measured and analyzed and define thresholds for the power quality parameters, and
• execute a PQA engine operative to read the power quality parameters and to:
• perform PQA of the power quality parameters based at least in part on the power quality analysis (PQA) algorithm stored in the cloud,
• determine a number of loads coupled to the one or more smart meters, and
• responsive to determining an increase in a number of loads coupled to the one or more smart meters, perform an auto-scale process comprising:
• calculating how many new nodes are needed to meet the current CPU and memory requirements, and
• issuing a scale-up request to add the required number of nodes, and scale-up to the number of nodes based on the scale-up request.
