  • OUTAGE AND SWITCH MANAGEMENT FOR A POWER GRID SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20200117151
    Abstract: Outages and/or switching operations associated with an electrical energy distribution system (e.g., a power grid system) are managed. In an implementation, a system provides for receiving outage request information related to a request to interrupt a power supply provided to a device in an electrical energy distribution system, determining switching information related to a set of steps to de-energize a portion of the electrical energy distribution system associated with the device based on the outage request information, and performing a switching operation to de-energize the portion of the electrical energy distribution system based on the switching information.
    Type: Application
