Abstract: A system and a method are provided for managing events in a smart grid. The method is implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions operable to: receive a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) notify message comprising a monitored state of at least one electrical device, from a smart meter; send a SIP publish message comprising the monitored state of the at least one electrical device, to at least one client device for management of the at least one electrical device; and determine and send a rule comprising at least one action to take in response to the monitored state of the at least one electrical device, to the smart meter.

Abstract: Models of a distribution network grid are automatically updated in response to real-time location data of uniquely identified temporary devices. Current geographical coordinates are determined within a distance tolerance that is selected as a function of a type of device indicated by the identity indicia. The geographical information system model is updated with a location of a unique identity of the device at the determined current geographical coordinates within the distance tolerance if unique identity of the device not already present within the geographical information system model, or if it is present and a displacement distance from the determined current geographical coordinates of the temporary device to existing geographic coordinates that are stored in the geographical information system model in association with the unique device identity exceeds a specified distance margin.

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.

Abstract: A system and a method are provided for enabling effective work force management of a smart grid. The method includes receiving a first Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message comprising a state of an electrical component on an electrical grid; and notifying a third party of the state of the electrical component by sending a second SIP message.

Abstract: A method is implemented in a computer infrastructure and includes receiving data defining a detected gas emission level of a power generation facility. The method also includes communicating the data defining the detected gas emission level to at least one subscriber device using one of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) based communication and Session Initial Protocol (SIP) based communication.

Abstract: An approach to provide power from power supply devices to power consuming devices based on characteristics of the power consuming devices and/or the power supply devices. The approach includes a method that includes receiving information of a power consuming device from an energy management system that determines criticality of the power consuming device. The method further includes receiving power supply information of one or more power supply devices associated with an electric grid. The method further includes receiving a power request from the power consuming device. The method further includes determining that the power consuming device receives power from the power supply device, based on the information and the power supply information.

Abstract: Monitoring and optimizing a state of an electrical grid are provided. An approach for synchronizing state information and context information, associated with one or more electrical devices on an electrical grid, with time information is provided. The state information is from one or more phasor measurement units (PMUs) associated with the one or more electrical devices, and the context information is from one or more third party servers. The approach further includes notifying one or more subscribing devices of the synchronized state information and the synchronized context information such that the one or more subscribing devices monitors and controls the one or more electrical devices based on the synchronized state information and the synchronized context information.
