Distributed electrical power network model maintenance

A method, comprising:

• maintaining, at a first substation of a power grid, a first local power network model, the first local power network model comprising a first local logical representation of a first power grid territory with which the first substation is associated, the first local power network model based upon at least some of a global power network model maintained by a network control center, the global power network model comprising a global logical representation of the power grid;
• updating the first local power network model based upon a first power grid event at least partially in the first power grid territory, the first power grid event comprising a switch of one or more consumers from a first feeder to a second feeder;
• sending, from the first substation, a first power network model update to the network control center, the first power network model update corresponding to the first power grid event;
• and
• receiving, at the first substation, a first notification of a corrective action from the network control center, the first notification comprising a first instruction for the first substation to update the first local power network model,
• the corrective action corresponding to a second power grid event at least partially in a second power grid territory with which a second substation of the power grid is associated.

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory comprising processor-executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause implementation of a network model management component configured to:
• maintain a global power network model at a network control center configured to manage one or more substations associated with a power grid, the global power network model comprising a global logical representation of the power grid;
• receive a first power network model update from a first substation of the power grid, the first power network model update corresponding to a first power grid event at least partially in a first power grid territory associated with the first substation, the first power grid event comprising a switch of one or more consumers from a first feeder to a second feeder;
• evaluate the first power grid event to determine whether the first power grid event was a desirable course of action;
• and
• responsive to determining that the first power grid event was not a desirable course of action:
• send a first notification of a corrective action to the first substation, the first notification comprising a first instruction for the first substation to update a first local power network model, the first local power network model comprising a first local logical representation of the first power grid territory with which the first substation is associated, the first local power network model based upon at least some of the global power network model;
• and
• send a second notification of the corrective action to a second substation of the power grid, the second notification comprising a second instruction for the second substation to update a second local power network model, the second local power network model comprising a second local logical representation of a second power grid territory with which the second substation is associated, the second local power network model based upon at least some of the global power network model,
• the corrective action corresponding to a second power grid event at least partially in the second power grid territory.
