Claim 0:
1. A method for detecting an anomaly in a power network, the method comprising: determining a baseline power usage in the power network; receiving data indicative of an active power usage in the power network; detecting an anomaly based on a difference between the baseline power usage and the active power usage; isolating a fault for an element in the power network, responsive to detecting the anomaly; transmitting fault isolation information indicating the fault to a user device; determining a feedback based on the anomaly; and modifying the baseline power usage based on the feedback, wherein the element is at a lower level hierarchy of the power network than the anomaly,
wherein isolating the fault comprises: identifying, with a main anomaly detection circuit, a main anomaly in a first element of a main meter hierarchy of the power network comprising a plurality of first elements; searching, with a lower anomaly detection circuit, for a lower anomaly in a plurality of second elements of the lower level hierarchy that is lower than the main meter hierarchy, wherein the plurality of second elements are associated with the first element; and identifying, with the lower anomaly detection circuit, a second element of the plurality of second elements associated with the lower anomaly,
wherein determining the feedback based on the anomaly comprises: generating data related to the active power usage and the anomaly; and triggering generation of the feedback based on the data related to the active power usage and the anomaly.
