SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS FOR OPERATING A POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of operating a power distribution system including a plurality of node devices, said method comprising:
- determining, by a computer, a desired operating limitation of the power distribution system to be optimized;
calculating, by the computer, an effect on the operating limitation based on a modification of at least one operating parameter of at least one node device of the plurality of node devices; and
transmitting a command, from the computer to the at least one node device, to cause the at least one node device to modify the at least one operating parameter.

Abstract
A power distribution system includes a plurality of node devices and a computer communicatively coupled to the node devices. The computer includes a memory area configured to store at least one operating parameter of each of the node devices, and a processor that is programmed to determine a desired operating limitation of the power distribution system to be optimized, calculate an effect on the operating limitation based on a modification of the operating parameter of at least one of the node devices, and transmit a command to the node device to cause the node device to modify the operating parameter.
