    摘要: A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving a message associated with a detection of reactive power in an energy system and inducing a first quantity of reactive power at a power level specified in the message. The first quantity of reactive power is induced in order to mitigate a second quantity of reactive power that is detected on a specific segment of the energy system. The first quantity of reactive power is induced at a local level on which a source associated with the second quantity of reactive power operates. In more specific embodiments, the message is sent in response to a sensor detecting the second quantity of reactive power, where the first quantity and the second quantity of reactive power are the same. In other embodiments, the method can include receiving a second message to stop mitigating the first quantity of reactive power.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a data aggregator discovery (DAD) message may be distributed by an associated data aggregator, the DAD message identifying the initiating data aggregator, and comprising a recorded route taken from the data aggregator to a receiving particular node as well as a total path cost for the particular node to reach a root node of the DAG through the recorded route and via the data aggregator. The receiving particular node determines a path cost increase (PCI) associated with use of the data aggregator based on the total path cost as compared to a DAG-based path cost for the particular node to reach the root node via the DAG. If the PCI is below a configured threshold, the particular node may redirect traffic to the data aggregator as source-routed traffic according to the recorded route. The traffic may then be aggregated by the data aggregator, accordingly.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a device in a computer network receives a particular packet associated with a transmission attempts value, the associated transmission attempts value indicative of a first number of times a transmitter has attempted to transmit the particular packet. In response, the device increases by one a stored successful attempts value stored at the device, the stored successful attempts value indicative of a second number of times the device has received the same particular packet. As such, a reachability rate of a link from the transmitter to the device may be determined based on comparing the associated transmission attempts value to the stored successful attempts value.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a system identifies a grid topology of a plurality of distribution automation (DA) devices of a distribution feeder circuit in a power grid, and determines parameters for each of the DA devices of the distribution feeder circuit based on the grid topology e.g., protection parameters such that DA devices further from a power source in the power grid up to a normally open point (NOP) are configured to trigger protection earlier than DA devices closer to the power source. The DA devices may then be configured with respective parameters as determined, and in response to detecting a change of the grid topology, updated parameters may be determined for one or more of the DA devices based on the changed grid topology. The system then reconfigures respective parameters of each of the DA devices that have updated parameters due to the change of the grid topology.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a device in a computer network monitors an alternating-current (AC) waveform of an electrical power source at the device, where the power source is part of a polyphase power source system. Once the device determines a particular phase of the polyphase power source system at the device, then the device joins a directed acyclic graph (DAG) specific to the particular phase. In another embodiment, a device detects a time of a zero crossing of the AC waveform, and may then determine a particular phase of the polyphase power source system at the device based on the time of the zero crossing relative to a corresponding location within a frequency hopping superframe of the computer network.
