Identifying and classifying distribution network transient pressure events

A non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed on one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:

• receiving time series pressure data from a plurality of sensors in a utility system;
• identifying, based at least in part on the time series pressure data, a pressure change in a portion of the utility system;
• generating, based at least in part on the identifying of the pressure change, a severity score associated with the pressure change;
• determining that the severity score is greater than or equal to a threshold;
• based at least in part on the severity score being greater than or equal to the threshold, generating a transient pressure event;
• and
• displaying descriptive information identifying the transient pressure event and one or more response tools for responding to the transient pressure event.
