1. A system for controlling an electric power delivery system, comprising:

  • a communications network;

    a monitored equipment;

    a plurality of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), each of the plurality of IEDs comprising;

    an IED network communications interface connected to the communications network to communicate with each of the other IEDs connected to the communications network;

    a communication master in communication with each of the plurality of IEDs via the communications network, the communication master comprising;

    a processor;

    a communication master network communications interface to communicate with each of the plurality of IEDs;

    a computer-readable storage medium, comprising;

    instructions executable on the processor that enable the communication master to;

    detect an electrical condition;

    establish an execution time for a time coordinated instruction set that includes a coordinated action for the monitored equipment based on the detected electrical condition; and

    transmit the execution time to each of the plurality of IEDs via the communication master network communications interface;

    andwherein each of the plurality of IEDs begins to perform the time coordinated instruction set at the execution time for time coordinated execution by the monitored equipment.
