Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for protecting electronic devices from electrical disturbances, comprising: determining, prior to an occurrence of an electrical disturbance, a numerical probability of an electrical disturbance on an electrical line in an electrical grid occurring at a future time at a specified location; accessing a set of device protection profiles from at least one computer storage device, the set of device protection profiles comprising a set of thresholds having a plurality of thresholds and a corresponding set of device topologies associated with a set of electronic devices positioned at the specified location; comparing the set of thresholds in the set of device protection profiles to the numerical probability to identify a matching device topology from the set of device topologies; and isolating at least one electronic device of the set of electronic devices from an electrical power source according to the matching device topology, the isolating further comprising: disconnecting, for the at least one electronic device that has a wired internet connection, the at least one electronic device from a proxy session used for the wired internet connection; switching the at least one electronic device from the wired internet connection to a wireless internet connection; and reconnecting to the proxy session using the wireless internet connection.
