Abstract
Outages associated with an electrical energy distribution system are managed, identified and/or predicted. In an implementation, a system provides for generating network topology data, indicative of a topology for an electrical energy distribution system associated with a power outage, based on connectivity data for devices in the electrical energy distribution system. The system also provides for determining, based on the network topology data, a first set of devices from the devices that are de-energized and determining a second set of devices from the devices that are not included in the first set of devices. Furthermore, the system provides for updating, based on report data associated with the second set of devices, the network topology data. Then, the system provides for identifying, based on the updated network topology data, a device from the second set of devices that satisfies a criterion associated with the power outage.
