Abstract
Fault isolation and service restoration in an electrical grid are provided. An approach for receiving a notification message including a state of an electrical component on an electrical grid, and determining, by a computing system, a command message including at least one action to take in response to the state of the electrical component, is described. The approach further includes sending the command message to at least one of the electrical component and other electrical components on the electrical grid.
Claims20
A system implemented in hardware, comprising:
- a computer infrastructure operable to:
- receive a notification message of an electrical device on an electrical grid, the notification message including a status of the electrical device;
- predict an electrical fault of the electrical device based on a set of rules related to the electrical device and the notification message;
- and
- send a command action to at least one of the electrical device and other electrical components in response to the predicted electrical fault, the command action comprising corrective action that reroutes electricity in an electrical path, bypassing the predicted electrical fault.
A method for decentralized and centralized fault isolation and service restoration in an electrical grid, comprising:
- sending, by a processor, a register message to register in a network;
- recording, by the processor, an electrical event at a location on the electrical grid;
- sending, by the processor, a notification message comprising presence information of the electrical event, including a status of an electrical device on the electrical grid, through the network to a presence server;
- receiving, by the processor, a command message comprising at least one action to take in response to the electrical event;
- and
- performing, by the processor, the at least one action to take, the action comprising a corrective action that reroutes electricity in an electrical path, bypassing a predicted electrical fault.
