Abstract:

Systems and methods to detect Automatic Lateral Switch operations. Power down reports indicating power went down at a subset of reporting power meters during a time duration is received, at a monitoring facility. The plurality of reporting power meters receive power from a lateral power feed receiving power through an Automatic Lateral Switch. A respective power restore report indicating power is restored at the respective reporting power meter is received within a recovery time duration after receiving each respective power down report. Based on receiving the respective power restore report within the recovery time duration, an occurrence of an Automatic Lateral Switch operation which includes operating contacts providing power to the lateral power feed by the contacts opening and remaining reclosed is determined. Based on determining the Automatic Lateral Switch operation, an indication of the Automatic Lateral Switch operation is stored into a database system.

Abstract:

A system, an alternative system, and a computer readable storage medium, for a power outage notification system that proactively manages communication of power outage alerts messages to customers of a power distribution system. Wireless communications between smart meters at the edge of an electrical power distribution network and a proactive outage alerts processing engine at an outage alerts notification information processing system facilitate management of communications of power outage alerts messages to customer communication devices. Power outage alerts messages can be communicated to customers using email messaging, text messaging, and voice mail messaging.
