Claim Text:
1. A communication system for a power distribution network, comprising: at least two electrical power distribution domains, each of the at least two electrical power distribution domains includes one management device and at least one electrical device which operates to distribute power in one of the at least two electrical power distribution domains; wherein the at least two electrical power distribution domains are divided from a point of a tie-switch device shared by the at least two electrical power distribution domains which switches electrical power between the at least two electrical power distribution domains, one of which uses the shared tie-switch as a physical switching device, and the other of which uses said shared switch as a virtual switching device; and the management device is connected with the at least one electrical device within its domain and collects information from the at least one electrical device; and a communication link arranged for peer communications between the management devices of the at least two electrical power distribution domains; wherein the management devices directly exchange information through the communications link, and the exchanged information includes a configuration file compiled by each management device which includes a status of each of the at least one electrical device within its domain.
