Abstract: Modern day-to-day life depends on reliable operation of network devices in a wide range of service network such as an electric grid. An analysis and control system executes a complex technical analysis to determine maintenance optimizations for the service network. The system arrives at the optimizations after taking into consideration the maintenance tasks to be performed across a time-dependent network topology and service sensitivity of the network devices to service outage.

Abstract: A system for power grid distribution network control can monitor a power grid distribution network in real-time, detect an abnormal loading condition based on real-time measurements on the distribution network, and perform in real time, in response to the detected abnormal loading condition, a reconfiguration analysis of the distribution network. The reconfiguration analysis can be performed based on heuristic logic that combines real time depth first trace and breadth first division of nodes within the distribution system. Through the reconfiguration analysis process, the system can generate and implement a practical and optimized reconfiguration plan in real time so as to alleviate or eliminate an abnormal loading condition in time to prevent possible pre-matured failures of equipment and consequently save cost of equipment replacement and/or related power outages. Accordingly, the distribution network may operate with improved stability and reliability, and a cost of operation can be reduced.
