SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SYNCHRONIZING SWITCHING WITHIN A POWER DISTRIBUTION NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- identifying, by a control system associated with a power utility and comprising one or more computers, a switch plan for restoring electrical power to a power distribution network following a power outage;
identifying, by the control system, a plurality of switching operations associated with the switch plan, the plurality of switching operations comprising at least one automatic switching operation and at least one manual switching operation; and
coordinating, by the control system, a synchronized execution of the plurality of switching operations.

Abstract
Systems and methods for synchronizing switching within a power distribution network are provided. A switch plan for restoring electrical power to a power distribution network following a power outage may be identified by a control system. The control system may be associated with a power utility and may include one or more computers. A plurality of switching operations associated with the switch plan may be identified by the control system. The plurality of switching operations may include at least one automatic switching operation and at least one manual switching operation. A synchronized execution of the plurality of switching operations may be coordinated by the control system.
