Systems and Methods for Classifying Power Network Failures
First Claim
1. A method for classifying a possible failure in a power network, comprising:
- receiving, at a network health analysis system comprising one or more computers, status information for a plurality of network devices in communications with a communications network, wherein a first subset of the plurality of network devices are powered by a power network and do not have battery back-up capabilities, and wherein a second subset of the plurality of network devices are powered by the power network and do have battery back-up capabilities;
analyzing, by the network health analysis system, the status information by comparing the statuses for at least a portion of the first subset without battery back-up capabilities to the statuses for at least a portion of the second subset with battery back-up capabilities; and
determining, by the network health analysis system, that a possible power network failure exists based on at least one network device in the first subset without battery back-up capabilities having an inactive status and at least one network device in the second subset with battery back-up capabilities having an active status.

Abstract
Systems and methods for classifying a possible failure in a power network are provided. In one embodiment, a method may include receiving network device status information for multiple network devices in communication with a communications network and capable of receiving primary power from a power network; and determining that a possible power network failure exists based on a first portion of the network devices associated with an inactive status and a second portion of the network devices associated with an active status, wherein the first portion comprises network devices without battery back-up capabilities and the second portion comprises network devices with battery back-up capabilities.

17. A system for classifying a possible failure in a power network, comprising:
-
memory storing computer-executable instructions; and at least one processor in communication with the memory and operable to execute the computer-executable instructions to; receive status information for a plurality of network devices in communications with a communications network, wherein a first subset of the plurality of network devices are powered by a power network and do not have battery back-up capabilities, and wherein a second subset of the plurality of network devices are powered by the power network and do have battery back-up capabilities; analyze the status information by comparing the statuses for at least a portion of the first subset without battery back-up capabilities to the statuses for at least a portion of the second subset with battery back-up capabilities; and determine that a possible power network failure exists based on at least one network device in the first subset without battery back-up capabilities having an inactive status and at least one network device in the second subset with battery back-up capabilities having an active status. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
