Abstract
A method of identifying at least one event zone subject to an event in a substation environment of an electrical grid. Thereby, data from multiple intelligent electronic devices can be synthesized in real-time whereby an operator can be presented with a single conclusion describing the event attributes thereby helping the operator to determine the mitigation actions as needed. The method includes receiving first event related data from the intelligent electronic devices, and based on the first event related data, determining whether the at least one monitoring zone subject to the event is a primary monitoring zone of at least one of the intelligent electronic devices or a non-primary monitoring zone for all of the intelligent electronic devices using ensemble decision making and probabilistic methods. It is also presented a system for carrying out the method.
