System, Device and Method For Providing Power Outage and Restoration Notification
First Claim
1. A method of using a computer system to provide information related to a power distribution system based on information provided by a plurality of network elements electrically connected to a plurality of power lines of the power distribution system at a plurality of locations, comprising:
- receiving one or more outage notification from a set of one or more network elements that have detected a voltage signature indicating an imminent power outage;
determining location information of the power outage based on the one or more notifications;
outputting the location information of the power outage;
receiving a live notification from a first network element of the set of network elements providing the outage notification;
wherein the live notification indicates a first power restoration at a location of the first network element;
determining location information of the first power restoration based on the live notification; and
outputting the location information of the first power restoration.
