BI-DIRECTIONAL COMMUNICATIONS ON AN ELECTRICAL SECONDARY NETWORKED DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

摘要

Mechanisms for bi-directional communications on an electrical secondary networked distribution system are disclosed. A first edge node control device (ENCD) receives, via an off-grid communications interface, a message. The first ENCD is communicatively coupled to the secondary networked distribution system, and the secondary networked distribution system provides electricity to a plurality of consuming endpoints. The method further includes retransmitting, in response to receipt of the message, by the first ENCD on the secondary networked distribution system, the message to a plurality of internal node control devices communicatively coupled to the secondary networked distribution system at a plurality of locations.

1. A method for communicating on a secondary networked distribution system, comprising:
receiving, by a first edge node control device (ENCD) via an off-grid communications interface, a message, the first ENCD communicatively coupled to the secondary networked distribution system, the secondary networked distribution system providing electricity to a plurality of consuming endpoints; and in response to receiving the message, retransmitting, by the first ENCD on the secondary networked distribution system, the message to a plurality of internal node control devices communicatively coupled to the secondary networked distribution system at a plurality of locations.
