A METHOD OF MANAGING THE DEFINITION OF AT LEAST ONE ACTION IN AT LEAST A PORTION OF AN ELECTRICAL POWER GRID
First Claim
1. A method of defining of at least one action in at least one portion of an electrical power grid by using at least one first data processing device associated to a first sub-grid with said first sub-grid including at least one connection device for electrically connecting an electrical device external to said first sub-grid, at least one of said connection devices including a receiver for receiving address information sent by a unit in or at an electrical device connected to said at least one of said connection devices,said method including the following:
- storing, in a memory, a respective first address information for at least a part of said at least one first connection devices for the purpose of identifying the respective connection device,receiving, by a receiver of a first of said connection devices, a second address information from a unit in or at an electrical device connected to said first connection device,forwarding, by said receiver, the second address information to the first data processing device to which said first connection device is associated,receiving the forwarded second address information by said first data processing device, and identifying the first address information associated to the first connection device from which the receiver sent said second address information,using both the first address information identified and the second address information received to form a combined address defining, for use by a data processing device associated to at least said first sub-grid, which electrical device is connected to which connection device,applying a first predetermined criterion on the basis of said combined address in order to define an action.

11. A data processing device associated to a sub-grid of an electrical power grid, said data processing device configured:
-
to receive second address information forwarded from a receiver associated to a first connection device said second address information being defined to identify an electrical device connected to said connection device, to identify first address information associated to said first connection device, said identifying including either extracting the first address information from a message sent by said receiver, or identifying the receiver and reading the first address information from a lookup-table, wherein in the lookup-table it corresponds to said receiver, to form a combined address by using the first address information and the second address information, to apply a first predetermined criterion on the basis of said combined address to define an action, said action preferably including emitting a signal or sending data to another device.
