An apparatus includes at least one device configured to be coupled to at least one electric power bus and to perform a plurality of electrical functions in association with the at least one electric power bus. A control system is operatively associated with the at least one device and configured to electronically communicate using descriptors from a power network domain that is abstracted with respect to the at least one device and to responsively operate the at least one device as an entity in the power network domain. The entity may include, for example, a power routing entity, a power conversion entity or a metering entity. The at least one device may include, for example, a switch, an active circuit, a passive circuit, a protective device and/or a sensor. Methods and computer program products are also described. |
