Abstract: Computational algorithms or “solvers” may be executed on intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) in an electric power delivery system to perform tasks such as locating and isolating electrical faults and restoring service to an area after an electrical fault occurs. However, executing the solvers may become a computationally prohibitive task, particularly where computing power is limited (e.g., low-power pole-top computers). In certain embodiments, computing power may be offloaded onto multi-instance networks that may enable processing of large amounts of complex data. It may be difficult for the multi-instance networks to obtain real-time or near real-time data from the electric power delivery system due to cybersecurity concerns. As such, multiple stateless services may be used to evaluate limited and/or obfuscated representations of a portion (e.g., a single feeder circuit) of the electric power delivery system.

Abstract: A distributed control system based on numerous models of small-scale subsystems within power delivery and/or distribution systems may increase the performance of solvers, automation algorithms, and control systems. By implementing multiple discrete control system models and effectuating simple communications (e.g., requests and responses for additional electric power) between the multiple discrete control system models, the processing power and time associated with modeling the power system and responding to events occurring within the power system may be reduced, and greater flexibility and modularity may be provided to the power delivery and distribution systems.
