Power distribution network event correlation and analysis
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for power distribution network correlation and analysis, the method comprising:
- receiving event data of a plurality of events from a plurality of sources, wherein at least a portion of the event data is non-network data;
identifying, based at least in part on an analysis of the event data of the plurality of events, an event of interest and at least one event determined to be potentially related to the event of interest, wherein the event of interest and the at least one event determined to be potentially related to the event of interest are selected from the plurality of events, and wherein the at least one event determined to be potentially related to the event of interest occurred within a predetermined time period proximate to an occurrence of the event of interest;
retrieving, in a querying engine, event data of the event of interest and event data of the at least one event determined to be potentially related to the event of interest, wherein the event data of the event of interest and the event data of the at least one event determined to be potentially related to the event of interest are comprised in the received event data of the plurality of events;
correlating the event data of the event of interest and the event data of the at least one event determined to be potentially relevant to the event of interest to thereby correlate the event of interest and the at least one event determined to be potentially related to the event of interest; and
identifying one or more root causes of the event of interest based at least in part on analysis of the event data of the event of interest and the event data of the at least one event determined to be potentially relevant to the event of interest.

Abstract
A method for power distribution network correlation and analysis includes receiving event data from a plurality of data sources, identifying an event of interest, retrieving, in a querying engine, the event data, correlating the event data and the event of interest and identifying one or more root causes of the event of interest.

17. A system for power distribution network analysis, the system comprising:
-
an event database storing event data of a plurality of events from a plurality of filtered and normalized data sources, wherein the event data is filtered and normalized, and wherein at least a portion of the event data is non-network data; a querying engine coupled to the event database configured to; identify, based at least in part on an analysis of the event data of the plurality of events, an event of interest and at least one event determined to be potentially related to the event of interest, wherein the event of interest and the at least one event determined to be potentially related to the event of interest are selected from the plurality of events, and wherein the at least one event determined to be potentially related to the event of interest occurred within a predetermined time period proximate to an occurrence of the event of interest; and retrieve event data of the event of interest and event data of the at least one event determined to be potentially related to the event of interest, wherein the event data of the event of interest and the event data of the at least one event determined to be potentially related to the event of interest are comprised in the received event data of the plurality of events; a correlation engine coupled to the querying engine, and configured to correlate the event data of the event of interest and the event data of the at least one event determined to be potentially relevant to the event of interest to thereby correlate the event of interest and the at least one event determined to be potentially related to the event of interest; and a root-cause analysis engine coupled to the correlation engine, and configured to discover patterns among the event of interest and the event data to identify one or more root-causes of the event of interest based at least in part on analysis of the event data of the event of interest and the event data of the at least one event determined to be potentially relevant to the event of interest. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
