Adaptive microgrid control

A computer program product for generating an automated control process for controlling a subsection of a utility grid in a power network, comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium readable by one or more processors and storing instructions for execution by the one or more processors for performing a method comprising:
• determining a topology of the subsection of the utility grid by obtaining data describing functionalities of components of the subsection of the utility grid and relationships between the components, wherein the subsection of the utility grid comprises one or more potential utility subgrids;
• identifying an event type in the power network which will trigger a requirement for implementing a configuration change to the subsection of the utility grid;
• generating, based on the topology, an automated control process for directing the configuration change in the subsection of the utility grid should an event of the event type occur;
• and
• automatically distributing to at least one controller associated with the power network the automated control process, wherein the at least one controller monitors, at least in part, the power network, and initiates the configuration change using the automated control process based on identifying occurrence of the event of the event type.

A system for automated control of a subsection of a utility grid in a power network, the system comprising:

• a utility grid in a power network comprising a subsection, the subsection comprising one or more potential utility subgrids, the subsection further comprising components;
• one or more processors in communication with one or more memories, the one or more processors being communicatively coupled to the one or more memories to generate an automated control process for directing a configuration change in the subsection of the utility grid and to automatically distribute the automated control process at least one controller associated with the power network, the generating the automated control process comprising:
• determining a topology of the subsection of the utility grid by obtaining data describing functionalities of the components of the subsection of the utility grid and relationships between the components;
• identifying an event type in the power network which will trigger a requirement for implementing a configuration change to the subsection of the utility grid should an event of the event type occur;
• and
• generating, based on the topology, the automated control process;
• and
• the at least one controller accessing the automated control process, and monitoring, at least in part, the power network, and initiating the configuration change using the automated control process based on identifying an occurrence of the event of the event type.
