Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. 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 first 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 first 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 first 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 first metric;
receiving, via the communications network from the plurality of network nodes of the communications network, a fourth set of data indicating a second metric associated with the power grid different than the first metric associated with the power grid; and
ranking the second set of data and the fourth set of data based at least in part on a magnitude of a difference between respective values of the second set of data and the fourth set of data and respective normalized ranges of the first metric and the second metric, wherein the third set of data is based at least in part on the ranking.
