Accordingly the embodiments herein provides a method for load balancing in an energy measurement information system. The method includes collecting, by a power information collecting unit, power information at a snapshot extraction frequency. The snapshot extraction frequency is within a range. Further, the method includes detecting, by an operating status extracting unit, an operating status of at least one load apparatus at the snapshot extraction frequency. The operating status is one of a steady state and a transient state. Furthermore, the method includes generating, by a data set generating unit, a data set including only one or a representative snapshot of the power information, when the normal status is detected; and a data set including a plurality of snapshots of the power information, when the transient state is detected.

A method for monitoring an electrical-energy transmission system having a plurality of system components. Each of the system components includes a sensor unit, which captures measurement data regarding at least one operating parameter of the system component, and a communication interface, which transmits the measurement data and component information regarding the system component. The measurement data and component information regarding a system component are transferred into a data cloud by way of the communication interface of the system component. A graphical user interface is configured to visualize information regarding the electrical-energy transmission system. The information is generated from the measurement data and component information transferred into the data cloud. A user profile defining the information displayed to the user is created for a user of the graphical user interface.

Cooperation in supply and demand balance of renewable energy in a region is implemented by operation of infrastructures of an infrastructure service such as water supply. In an energy management system including: a processor; and a storage device, the processor predicts an electric power supply amount utilizing renewable energy in a predetermined region, predicts an electric power demand amount in the region, predicts a demand amount of an infrastructure service different from an electric power service in the region, predicts an electric power demand amount corresponding to the infrastructure service on the basis of the predicted demand amount of the infrastructure service in the region, and determines use time of electric power corresponding to the infrastructure service such that the electric power demand amount in the region approaches the electric power supply amount.

Systems and methods to estimate trapped charge for a controlled automatic reclose are described herein. For example, an intelligent electronic device (IED) may calculate an analog amount of trapped charge of each phase of a power line based on voltage measurements of the power line. The IED may close a switching device of each phase at a time corresponding to a point-on-wave associated with the analog amount of trapped charge of the respective phase.

A method of operating a power grid includes: generating, by a power management system of the power grid, an intermediate resource allocation schedule that provides a tentative schedule of resource allocation for power grid resources operating within the power grid; determining, by the power management system, whether the intermediate resource allocation schedule is feasible by checking whether the intermediate resource allocation schedule satisfies coupling constraints of a power grid resource allocation profile of the power grid indicative of an operation of the power grid constrained by power grid operational information; and in response to determining that the intermediate resource allocation schedule is infeasible, repairing, by the power management system, the intermediate resource allocation schedule to generate a feasible resource allocation schedule, where the repairing comprises determining whether a first dispatch solution obtained by solving a dispatch problem with fixed integer decisions from the intermediate resource allocation schedule is feasible.

Methods and systems are disclosed for leveraging user premises supplied electric power to power active components in an information delivery network. In response to one or more conditions, an active component may switch an input power path from using grid-supplied or battery power to draw power from a user premises. The decision to switch the power path may be based on a number of conditions, for example, whether power is available from the grid, the relative cost of power from the user premises and whether the power from the user premises includes power from a renewable source.

A home appliance can operate in a future time frame. Information is obtained from a power distributor in order to determine a time when to operate the home appliance in this future time frame. The home appliance then operates at the time determined with information from the power distributor.
