Scout command for adaptive power grid management

A method for managing an adaptive power grid, the method comprising:

• storing asset data associated with devices on a network of devices in an asset database, the network of devices being geographically distributed in a power grid for power transmission and distribution;
• receiving, at a scout command module executed on a processor coupled to an asset database and a network of devices, a formation plan and a logistics list comprising a plurality of assets for executing tasks in the formation plan, the formation plan comprises a plurality of tasks to adaptively reconfigure the network of devices on the power grid from a current state to a desired state according to states of the formation plan;
• identifying, by the processor, an operation loop of the formation plan having a host asset and a plurality of participant assets;
• determining assigned roles for each of the plurality of participant assets in the operation loop;
• verifying availabilities of each of the plurality of participant assets based on the assigned roles and the asset data stored in the asset database;
• in response to verifying the availabilities of each of the plurality of participant assets to execute the formation plan, determining a launch plan for the operation loop for the host asset and the plurality of participant assets;
• and
• causing the plurality of the network of devices of the power grid, including the host asset and the plurality of participant assets, to execute the formation plan based on the launch plan, wherein the plurality of participant assets communicates with the host asset in one or more operation loops during the execution of the formation plan.
