Patent number: 10495677Abstract: Energy flow in a power grid system (e.g., an electrical energy distribution system) is managed. In an example embodiment, a system provides for generating monitoring data for an electrical energy distribution system based on power-flow data for the electrical energy distribution system and topology data for the electrical energy distribution system. The power-flow data is indicative of voltage values that are repeatedly obtained from the electrical energy distribution system.
