Systems, methods, and devices are provided for controlling part of an electric power distribution system using an intelligent electronic device that may rely on communication from wireless electrical measurement devices. Wireless electrical measurement devices associated with different phases of power on an electric power distribution system may send wireless messages containing electrical measurements for respective phases to an intelligent electronic device. When wireless communication with one of the wireless electrical measurement devices becomes inconsistent or lost, the intelligent electronic device may synthesize the electrical measurements of the missing phase using electrical measurements of remaining phases. The intelligent electronic device may use the synthesized electrical measurements to control part of the electric power distribution system.

Systematic Outage Planning and Coordination in a Distribution Grid

Disclosed is a system and method for automated outage and work-flow planning system in a distributed electrical power grid with planned de-energization of electrical equipment as opposed to responding to an unplanned power outage. An automated system provides core conflict resolution and power outage planning. The present invention automatically notifies requestors of upcoming work orders. In addition, the present invention reduces scheduling in efficiencies by requiring requestors to confirm, to decline, or to edit on the fly their pending work order(s). The system also determines if all the orders are not completed and places the order back on the calendar for another day.
