Systems and Methods for Restoring Service Within Electrical Power Systems
First Claim
1. A method for restoring service within an electrical power system, the method comprising:
- identifying a restoration path for an outage area within the power system;
selecting a mobile energy resource connection site that is electrically connected to at least one of the restoration path and the outage area;
sending power injection requests to a plurality of mobile energy resources, at least some of which are proximate the connection site;
receiving power injection acceptances from participating ones of the plurality of mobile energy resources; and
implementing the restoration path.

Abstract
Systems and methods for restoring service within electrical power systems are disclosed. The methods may include identifying a restoration path for an outage area within a power system, selecting a mobile energy resource connection site that is electrically connected to at least one of the restoration path and the outage area, sending power injection requests to a plurality of mobile energy resources, at least some of which may be proximate the connection site, receiving power injection acceptances from participating ones of the plurality of mobile energy resources, and implementing the restoration path. The systems may include a processor and a computer readable storage medium having a plurality of machine-readable instructions embodied thereon and con figured for execution by the processor to carryout the method.
