An adaptive system for managing, in an integrated way, multiple EC with variable configuration, with prosumer and/or proconstomer and/or constorer nodes that are dynamically aggregated over the time, through a partitionable digital platform that includes logics for the automatic management. To each platform portion corresponds an EC and an oriented combination of logics in turn selected, sequenced and parametrized according to the optimization purposes provided by the EC, to locally implement, through the controller of each node, the commands imparted to its devices and optimize energy flows, by first adapting to EC logics and then to single node logics. The oriented combination is continually recalculated, within 50 milliseconds from the reading of the data of each aggregated node, to adapt in real time to the variable configuration of an EC and its nodes.

A method of detecting self-clearing, sub-cycle faults comprises sensing a current condition and a voltage condition at a location along a power cable. The sensed conditions are relayed to an analyzing device, the analyzing device including a current peak detector. The presence of a measured current value is determined. If the measured current value is greater than a current threshold value, a faulted circuit indicator (FCI) analysis is performed to determine the presence or absence of an FCI fault. If an FCI fault is absent, an incipient fault analysis is performed, wherein the RMS current values before and after a threshold event are compared and the voltage total harmonic distortion (THD) before and after the event are compared. If the two current values are within a first predetermined percentage and the THD values differ by a second predetermined percentage, then an incipient fault is reported. If either the two current values are not within the first predetermined percentage or the THD values do not differ by at least the second predetermined percentage,

The device, method, and system embodiments described in this disclosure (i.e., the teachings of this disclosure) enable an authorization circuit having at least one authorization mechanism to cooperate with an access circuit having at least one key mechanism. Upon successfully authorizing at least one datum communicated from the key mechanism of the access circuit, the authorization circuit is arranged to deliver power having determined characteristics to the access circuit. In at least one embodiment, the authorization circuit is arranged as a circuit wired or wirelessly coupled to a power infrastructure in a building. In at least one embodiment, the access circuit is arranged as a smart power plug arranged to temporarily deliver power to a mobile computing device or other electrically powered device. In some cases, power is only delivered after a user consumes certain multimedia information. In some cases, power that is delivered is delivered for only a short time and is measured.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for a fast power network simulator. A system configured per this disclosure can use identify a power network, the power network comprising generators, transmission lines, and loads, and receive a model of the power network. The model of the power network can include: models of the generators modeled as differential equations, and models of the transmission lines and the loads modeled as algebraic equations. The system can convert, via a processor, the algebraic equations of the models of the transmission lines and the loads to additional differential equations, then combine, via the processor, the differential equations and the additional differential equations, to yield combined differential equations. The system can then iteratively solve linear equations, via the processor, associated with the combined differential equations, to yield solutions, and output the solutions as part of a power simulation of the power network.

A method includes providing a net consumption trajectory comprising net consumption targets for one or more subperiods of a time period. Each net consumption target indicates a target difference from a beginning of a time period to an end of the subperiod between total consumption and total production or offset. The method also includes generating, for a subperiod of the plurality of subperiods, a set of curtailment actions predicted to achieve the net consumption target for the subperiod and implementing the set of curtailment actions.

An example distribution and outage management system can include: a processor; and memory encoding instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the system to: provide a supervisory control and data acquisition module programmed to manage infrastructure elements of a distribution network; provide a geographic information system module programmed to manage spatial aspects of the distribution network; provide a distribution and outage module programmed to incorporate data from the supervisory control and data acquisition module and data from the geographic information system module to create a data management and outage model; and render an interface depicting the data management and outage model.

Systems and methods for determining a location of an event in an electric power delivery system using a machine learning engine are provided. The machine learning engine may be trained based on a topology of the electric power delivery system, where the topology may be a layout of line sections and corresponding sensors of the electric power delivery system. Based on the topology, one or more training matrices that indicate possible event locations may be generated. In turn, the machine learning engine may be trained using the training matrices and logistic regression models to determine locations of events that occur during operation of the electric power delivery system.
