Automatic real-time optimization and intelligent control of electrical power distribution and transmission systems

A system for real-time optimization of power resources on an electrical system, comprising:

• a data acquisition component communicatively connected to a sensor configured to acquire real-time data output from the electrical system;
• an analytics server communicatively connected to the data acquisition component, comprising,
• a virtual system modeling engine configured to generate predicted data output for the electrical system utilizing a virtual system model of the electrical system,
• an analytics engine configured to monitor the real-time data output and the predicted data output of the electrical system, the analytics engine further configured to initiate a calibration and synchronization operation to update the virtual system model when a difference between the real-time data output and the predicted data output exceeds a threshold, and
• a power flow optimization engine configured to utilize the virtual system model to generate system control parameters that optimize power resources on the electrical system;
• a control element interfaced with an electrical system component and communicatively connected to the analytics server, the control element configured to receive the system control parameters and effectuate changes to operational settings of the electrical system component;
• and
• a client terminal communicatively connected to the analytics server, the client terminal configured to communicate the system control parameters and to change a configuration setting of the power flow optimization engine.
