Decentralized generator control
First Claim
1. A distributed controller configured to control at least a portion of an electrical generation and distribution system, comprising:
- a communication subsystem configured to communicate via a network and configured to;
obtain a first plurality of time-stamped electrical parameter measurements from a first node;
a measurement analysis subsystem configured to;
compare the first plurality of time-stamped electrical parameter measurements and a second plurality of time-stamped electrical parameter measurements;
determine a correlation between the electrical parameters at the first node and the electrical parameters at a second node;
a topology detection subsystem configured to;
associate the first node and the second node in an electrical island based on the correlation;
a control subsystem configured to;
implement a control action based on the association of the first node and the second node in the electrical island.

Abstract
The present disclosure pertains to distributed controllers configured to control a plurality of electrical generators in an electrical generation and distribution system. In one embodiment, a distributed controller consistent with the present disclosure may include a communication subsystem to obtain a first plurality of time-stamped electrical parameter measurements from a first node. A measurement analysis subsystem may compare the first plurality of time-stamped electrical parameter measurements and the second plurality of time-stamped electrical parameter measurements. The first node and the second node may be associated in an electrical island by a topology detection subsystem based on the correlation. A control subsystem may be configured to implement a control action based on the association of the first node and the second node in the electrical island.
