Sequencers for FPR (Failure Prevention and Resolution) in Smart Grids
Control algorithms and sequencers optimize resource allocation and prioritize repair/prevention to minimize major losses and damages in large networked systems like smart grids and logistics.
Researchers at Purdue University have developed sequencers for failure prevention and repair (FPR) in smart grids. This technology can be used to optimally allocate resources and prioritize failures in massively distributed networks. The focus is on repair, recovery, and prevention using a suite of control algorithms for failure prevention and resolution. This helps users prevent major losses and damages in large networked systems.
Advantages:
-Sequencing repairs in smart grids for different goals
-Optimizing repair resources allocation for different types of failures
-Preventing cascading failures in smart grids
Potential Applications:
-Smart grids
-Water distribution networks
-Logistics grids
-Computer and information networks
