Abstract: Described are techniques for electrical grid origination determination using Power Line Disturbance (PLD) characteristics. The techniques include detecting a first PLD in a first voltage feed of a first power unit at a first time. The techniques further include comparing the first PLD to other PLDs aggregated from multiple power units. The techniques further include determining that the first voltage feed of the first power unit originates from a same source as a second power unit based on a similarity between the first PLD and a second PLD of the second power unit satisfying a similarity threshold and occurring within a same timeframe proximate to the first time. The techniques further include recording that the first power unit and the second power unit receive power from a same source.

Abstract: Interleaved infrastructure can interleave fragment execution during query compilation. For example, compilation can be paused, and a plan fragment is executed. The results of the plan fragment can be fed back into the compiler, which can then restart the compilation and modify the compilation based on the results of the plan fragment execution. The interleaved workflow provides a flexible, robust infrastructure, which can enable and improve a variety of database features and query optimizations.

Abstract: A signal-analysis-based process for detecting and correcting power feeds is provided. The process includes obtaining voltage waveform data for power feeds connected to a system, and determining for the power feeds, using the obtained voltage waveform data, at least one respective signal characteristic. Further, the process includes comparing the respective signal characteristics of the power feeds to ascertain at least one signal characteristic difference between the power feeds. Based on the at least one signal characteristic difference not exceeding at least one respective difference limit, the process determines that the power feeds are not separately-sourced redundant power feeds connected to the system, and based on determining that the power feeds are not separately-sourced redundant power feeds, the process initiates a corrective action to ensure that the system is connected to separately-sourced redundant power feeds.

Abstract: A technique for determining an electrical grid power source using a power line signal which includes electronic communication using a power line between a host device and power supply units (PSUs) on an electrical power grid. The host device can designate a PSU as a signal generator and designate remaining PSUs as signal receivers. The host device generates a signal onto the power line used by the PSUs. The signal is detected at each of the receivers on the power line. A response by one of the receivers to the host device, is in response to the detection of the signal at the receiver. An electronic communication device receives communication from the host device that the signal is detected by the receiver.
