Abstract

An infrastructure assessment system integrates with a smart grid infrastructure at all layers of the infrastructure. Data may be collected across layers. Performance metrics may be monitored and simulations may be performed. Action items may be decided upon based on actual behavior of the infrastructure determined from the collected data and on predicted behavior from simulations of the infrastructure. The action items may then be dispatched to be performed on the infrastructure. The effect of the management actions can then be “acquired” by the system via detailed monitoring and can be used, for example, to measure the effectiveness of the decisions or recalibration of the whole system.
