Abstract:
1. A method for configuring an electrical power distribution network, the method comprising: accessing data associated with the electrical power distribution network; identifying from the data: determining a number, C, of different virtual paths to be generated in dependence upon the data, C>1; generating and separately storing C different virtual paths, each virtual path identifying a unique subset of electrical links of the plurality of electrical links, wherein the electrical links of each unique subset of electrical links connect one electrical power source of the plurality of electrical power sources to another electrical power source of the plurality of electrical power sources, wherein the unique subset of electrical links identified by each virtual path includes at least one exclusive electrical link which is included in only that unique subset of electrical links, and wherein each electrical link of the plurality of electrical links is included in at least one unique subset of electrical links; and setting in the electrical power distribution network, each of the at least one exclusive electrical links included in each unique subset of electrical links, to the other than the conductive state.
