System and method for developing, deploying and implementing power system computer applications
First Claim
1. A framework for developing a computer application that allows an authorized end user to monitor operational status of a power system and update configuration settings in a device installed on said power system to effect a change in said power system operational status, said framework comprising:
- a set of modules combinable to build said computer application, each of said modules having an associated functionality selected from at least one of the following functions;
security management, profile management, system configuration, device level views, event views, data access, background service, mapping/GIS, data service, and application programming interfaces, each of said modules combinable with another of said modules to develop said computer application for monitoring said operational status of said power system, said developed computer application for execution by a mobile device, said mobile device communicating said user-updated configuration settings to said power system device.

Abstract
A system and method for developing, deploying and implementing computer applications for a power system has an open software framework for developing mobile applications. The mobile applications are developed by combining predefined modules having functionality to monitor a power system, change configuration settings within devices installed on the power system and allow utility personnel to quickly respond to events occurring on the power system.

13. A computer-implemented method for effecting the operation of a sensor installed on a power distribution system, said method comprising:
-
identifying the location on the power distribution system experiencing a fault and said sensor monitoring said location experiencing said fault; accessing operational data of said sensor using a mobile device in communication with a gateway server, said gateway server for collecting and storing data for the location on the power distribution system experiencing said fault, said operational data of said sensor accessed using an identification number representing said sensor; communicating configuration changes for said sensor to said gateway server using said mobile device; and updating said sensor configuration to maintain a present level of power factor on said power distribution system. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

- 18. A computer application stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, said computer application having computer-readable program code executed by a processor to modify control settings of a capacitor bank on the grid to change the reactive compensation system using modular, fixed or switched capacitor steps that automatically compensate an individual load or the network to maintain a preset level of power factor.
