System, Device and Method for Managing a Power Distribution Network
First Claim
1. A computer program product comprising one or more computer-readable storage media containing instructions which, when executed by a computer system comprised of one or more computers, causes the computer system to perform a method for managing a power distribution network, the computer program product comprising:
- a VARs management module configured to generate a command configured to cause a capacitor bank to connect to the power distribution network;
a voltage management module configured to receive voltage data derived from a measurement of a power line of the power distribution network and to output an alert if the voltage data is beyond a threshold;
a measurement module configured to generate a request for measurement data that comprises data of a measurement of one or more electrical parameters of the power distribution network; and
a power outage management module configured to output data of a location of a power outage of the power distribution network.

12. A computer program product comprising one or more computer-readable storage media containing instructions which, when executed by a computer system comprised of one or more computers, causes the computer system to perform a method for managing a power distribution network, the computer program product comprising:
-
a VARs management module configured to generate a command configured to cause a capacitor bank to connect to the power distribution network; a voltage management module configured to receive voltage data derived from a measurement of a power line of the power distribution network and to output an alert if the voltage data is beyond a threshold; said voltage management module being configured to output a notification if, after the voltage data is determined to be beyond the threshold, the voltage data is determined to be not beyond the threshold; a measurement module configured to generate a request for measurement data that comprises data of a measurement of one or more electrical parameters of the power distribution network; a power outage management module configured to detect a power outage of the power distribution network and to output data of a location of the power outage; a power flow module configured to generate a command to alter a flow of power through the distribution network; and wherein said power flow module is responsive to detection of a power outage by said power outage module. - View Dependent Claims (13)

14. A method of managing a power distribution network, comprising:
-
transmitting a first command to a capacitor bank configured to cause the capacitor bank to connect to the power distribution network; receiving voltage data derived from a measurement of a voltage of a power line of the power distribution network; outputting an alert if the voltage data is beyond a threshold; outputting a notification if, after the voltage data is determined to be beyond the threshold, the voltage data is subsequently determined to be not beyond the threshold; transmitting a request for measurement data that comprises data of a measurement of one or more electrical parameters of the power distribution network; receiving the measurement data in response to transmitting the request for measurement data; processing power parameter data to detect a power outage of the power distribution network; and if a power outage is detected, outputting data of a location of the detected power outage. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
