Abstract: A system for controlling a multi-feed power distribution network is described herein. The network includes a first network sector that includes a first plurality of devices connected to a first power source and a second network sector that includes a second plurality of devices connected to a second power source. The system includes a first controller and a second controller. The first controller is configured to control operation of the first network sector and exchange data with the second controller. The second controller is configured to control operation of the second network sector and exchange data with the first controller. The system is modular and it can be expanded to include additional controllers as necessary. Methods and a computer program product for controlling a multi-feed power distribution network are also described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for distributing general packet radio service (GPRS) tunneling protocol (GTP) traffic are disclosed. According to one exemplary method, the method occurs at a network node simulator configured to distribute GTP encapsulated data packets among a plurality of processors associated with the network node simulator. The method includes receiving a GTP encapsulated data packet associated with a user device, wherein the GTP encapsulated data packet includes a GTP header having a GTP related endpoint identifier indicating a processor among the plurality of processors associated with the network node simulator. The method also includes determining, using the GTP related endpoint identifier, the processor for processing the GTP encapsulated data packet. The method further includes sending, to the processor, the GTP encapsulated data packet for processing.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for processing multiple control and user data flows at a port processor are disclosed. According to one method, the method occurs at a testing platform. The method includes concurrently receiving, via a communications interface of the testing platform, a first control plane flow and a second control plane flow. The method also includes concurrently processing the first control plane flow and the second control plane flow using a port processor of the testing platform.

Abstract: A system for controlling a multi-feed power distribution network includes: a first controller configured to control operation of a first network sector, the first controller configured to, in response to a topology change in the first network sector causing a change in a location from which power is supplied to at least one affected network segment, transmit a message identifying the at least one affected network segment from the first controller to the network without prior knowledge of any other controllers; and at least one second controller configured to control operation of the at least one second network sector, the second controller configured to receive the message, exchange configuration information regarding the at least one affected segment with the first controller, and automatically update the second configuration data of the second controller based on the configuration information received from the first controller to reflect the topology change.

Abstract: A fault interrupt device is tripped by a fault in a power distribution network. A distributed automation controller (DAC) determines a location of and isolates the fault. Power is restored upstream of the fault and downstream power requirement vs. power availability from a secondary source(s) is assessed. The secondary source(s) is connected to the downstream portion if power available is sufficient or after nodes are deactivated to bring power requirements below power available. If a second fault occurs, it is also located and isolated, such as by communication between affected partition DACs of the power distribution network.

Abstract: Systems and methods for use in detecting and responding to fault conditions in a utility system. A first partition controller associated with a first partition detects a fault condition within the first partition. The first partition controller transmits a utility capacity request to one or more partition controllers other than the first partition controller. A second partition controller associated with a second partition receives the utility capacity request and determines an available utility capacity of the second partition. The second partition controller transmits a utility capacity response that includes the available utility capacity to the first partition controller. A utility connection is activated between the first partition and the second partition based on the available utility capacity.
