Methods and systems for distributed utility intelligence architecture

A distributed utility intelligence architecture, comprising:

• at least four hierarchical tiers of one or more artificial intelligence (AI) components configured to manage a utility network, wherein the at least four hierarchical tiers of one or more AI components comprise a first tier of one or more first AI components, a second tier of one or more second AI components, a third tier of one or more third AI components, and a fourth tier of one or more fourth AI components;
• wherein:
• (i) the first tier is configured to direct activity of at least the second tier, the third tier, and the fourth tier, wherein the first tier is configured to monitor electrical data of the utility network;
• (ii) second tier is configured to direct activity of at least the third tier and fourth tier, wherein the second tier is configured to monitor electrical data of a transformer within the utility network;
• (iii) the third tier is configured to direct activity of at least the fourth tier, wherein the third tier is configured to monitor electrical data of a service point corresponding to the transformer;
• and
• (iv) the fourth tier is configured to monitor electrical data of an appliance at the service point.
