发明名称 Method and apparatus for managing the distribution of electrical energy in a power distribution grid
摘要 A power distribution grid comprising a plurality of cells configured to be electrically connected to each other and a power management system. A cell in the plurality of cells is configured to distribute electrical energy to an area corresponding to the cell. The cell has a plurality of entry nodes configured to allow the electrical energy to flow into the cell. The power management system is configured to manage a distribution of the electrical energy to the area by the cell independently of the distribution of the electrical energy to other areas by other cells in the plurality of cells.

主权项 1. A power distribution grid comprising: a plurality of cells configured to be electrically connected to each other, wherein a cell in the plurality of cells is configured to distribute electrical energy to an area corresponding to the cell and wherein the cell has a plurality of entry nodes configured to allow the electrical energy to flow into the cell; and a power management system configured to manage a distribution of the electrical energy to the area by the cell independently of the distribution of the electrical energy to other areas by other cells in the plurality of cells; wherein the plurality of cells is formed by electrical lines and nodes in the power distribution grid and wherein the cell in the plurality of cells comprises: a plurality of sectors configured to be electrically connected to each other such that a sector in the plurality of sectors is capable of receiving the electrical energy from more than one entry node in the plurality of entry nodes, wherein the sector is configured to deliver the electrical energy to a load electrically connected to the sector; wherein each sector of the plurality sectors comprises an entry node for the sector and a load in the sector; wherein a first entry node of the plurality of entry nodes is connected to a first smart switch associated with a first sector of the plurality of sectors; wherein a first node in the first sector is connected to the smart switch,a first node of a second sector,a second node of the first sector, anda first node of a third sector; wherein the connection between the first node of the first sector and the first node of the second sector includes a first power monitor in the first sector, anda first power monitor in the second sector; wherein the second node of the first sector is connected to the first node of the first sector,a smart switch of the first sector, anda second smart switch associated with the first sector; and wherein the second smart switch associated with the first sector is connected to a node of the cell that is connected to the second smart switch associated with the first sector,a second smart switch associated with the second sector,a second smart switch associated with the third sector, anda second smart switch associated with a fourth sector.
