A computer-implemented method for identifying a topology of a power distribution grid having a number of transformers includes acquiring measurement signals of one or more electrical quantities pertaining to nodes of the power distribution grid. A graph representation is generated using the measurement signals and grid topological information, wherein the measurement signals pertaining to respective nodes are used to derive node features and the grid topological information is used to encode edges representing certain and uncertain connections between the nodes. The graph representation is processed using a graph neural network to classify the nodes and output a mapping of each of the nodes to one of the transformers, whereby a status of the uncertain connections is determined.

The electricity supply grid is monitored for a grid fault in which the line voltage deviates from the nominal line voltage by at least a first differential voltage.

An example method includes receiving, by a control system, telemetry data from a set of devices in an electrical grid and storing, by the control system, the telemetry data in a memory. The example method further includes calculating, by the control system and using the telemetry data, a change in impedance in an electric line segment between two devices from the set of devices and determining, by the control system, a cause of the change in the impedance in the electric line segment between the two devices.

Described herein are methods and systems for detection and notification of electrical power outages and power quality. A sensor coupled to a circuit transmits a keepalive packet to a server. The sensor detects an input signal generated by electrical activity. The sensor generates an output signal based upon the input signal. The sensor monitors the output signal. During a clock cycle, the sensor determines whether a rising edge occurred and transmits a fault packet to the server when the rising edge occurred prior to a predetermined clock value or when no rising edge occurred. The server receives the fault packet from the sensor and listens for keepalive packets. The server transmits a power outage notification when no keepalive packets are received for at least a defined time period after the fault packet is received. The server transmits a power restoration notification when one or more keepalive packets are subsequently received.

This disclosure provides a manner of automatically determining a physical address of a photovoltaic string, thereby implementing photovoltaic-string locating and expanding a system function range. When an anomaly occurs, the anomaly can be eliminated in a timely manner, thereby improving system stability.
