Electric power system control with planning of energy demand and energy efficiency using AMI-based data analysis
First Claim
1. A control system for an electric power grid configured to supply electric power from a supply point to a plurality of consumption locations, the system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors, wherein each sensor is located at a respective one of a plurality of distribution locations on the electric power grid at or between the supply point and at least one of the plurality of consumption locations, and wherein each sensor is configured to sense at least one component of a supplied electric power received at the respective consumption location and at least one of the plurality of sensors is configured to generate measurement data based on the sensed component of the power; and
,a controller configured to receive the measurement data from the sensors and to communicate with at least one component adjusting device to adjust a component of the electric power grid based on a control point, wherein the controller is configured to determine a change in available voltage for at least one modification to the electric power grid,wherein the at least one component adjusting device is configured to adjust a component of the electric power grid based on the at least one control point.

Abstract
A method, apparatus, system and computer program is provided for controlling an electric power system, including implementation of an energy planning process (EPP) system which can be used to plan a voltage control and conservation (VCC) system applied to an electrical distribution connection system (EEDCS). The EPP system plans modifications to the EEDCS as a result of operating the VCC system in the “ON” state, in order to maximize the level of energy conservation achieved by the VCC system control of the EEDCS. The EPP system may also identify potential problems in the EEDCS for correction.
