Claim 1:
2. A method, comprising:
receiving, via a communications network from a plurality of network nodes of the communications network, a first set of data indicating a metric associated with a power grid, the communications network configured to provide a communication service to at least one location serviced by the power grid;
determining a normalized range for the metric associated with the power grid based at least in part on the first set of data;
receiving, via the communications network from the plurality of network nodes of the communications network, a second set of data indicating the metric associated with the power grid;
generating a third set of data indicating a relationship between the second set of data and the normalized range for the metric;
identifying a fourth set of data comprising an ordering, for each of the plurality of network nodes, of a set of quantized values according to values determined from the second set of data; and
determining a consensus value from the ordered sets of quantized values.
