Patent US9853448
Issued 2017-12-26
Systems And Methods For Coordinating Electrical Network Optimization
In one embodiment, a system includes a coordinated distribution optimization (CDO) system. The CDO system includes a processor configured to coordinate execution of a plurality of independent electrical network applications. Each of the plurality of independent electrical network applications is configured to alter one or more operational parameters of a power grid based on one or more respective objectives and based on power grid operational data, and the execution of the plurality of independent electrical network applications is coordinated by the CDO system to block the power grid from entering an abnormal state. The CDO system further comprises a network interface configured to receive the power grid operational data from a controller of the power grid, and wherein the power grid operational data comprises current values for the one or more operational parameters of the power grid.

- 1. A system, comprising:
a controller that is configured to adjust parameters of an electrical network; a processor; and a memory including:
a control application that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to determine at least one operational parameter adjustment;
a plurality of optimization applications that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine at least one optimization parameter adjustment, wherein each of the plurality of optimization applications is assigned to one of a plurality of execution priorities;
instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
selecting a first optimization application from the plurality of optimization applications based on the plurality of execution priorities, wherein the first optimization application is assigned a first priority of the plurality of execution priorities, wherein the first priority is a highest priority of the plurality of execution priorities;
executing, if the control application is not running, the first optimization application of the plurality of optimization applications to determine at least one first optimization parameter adjustment;
validating the at least one first optimization parameter adjustment has been applied to the electrical network by the controller;
selecting, a second optimization application of the plurality of optimization applications, wherein the second optimization application is selected from the plurality of optimization applications based on the plurality of execution priorities, the second optimization application is assigned a second priority of the plurality of execution priorities, and the second priority is lower than the first priority of the plurality of execution priorities; and
executing, if the control application is not running and after the at least one first optimization parameter adjustment has been applied to the electrical network by the controller, the second optimization application of the plurality of optimization applications to determine at least one second optimization parameter adjustment.
