Patent ID: 8121743

Claim:
A power restoration method comprising: receiving, by a computer processor of a computing apparatus, a signal indicating that a power outage has ended and that an input voltage signal used for powering power consumption devices at a first specified location power will be enabled, said computing apparatus comprising a memory device, said memory device comprising a profile indicating an order for enabling each power consumption device of said power consumption devices; disabling, by said computer processor, input voltage signal connections to each said power consumption device; detecting, by said computer processor, that said input voltage signal at said first specified location is enabled; first enabling, by said computer processor in response to said detecting and based on said profile, a first input voltage signal connection of said input voltage signal connections, wherein said first input voltage signal connection is associated with a first power consumption device of said power consumption devices, and wherein said first enabling said first input voltage signal connection enables said first power consumption device to receive said input voltage signal; first monitoring, by said computer processor in response to said first enabling, a frequency signal associated with said input voltage signal at said first specified location; generating, by said computer processor, first frequency level data associated with said first monitoring, wherein said first frequency level data comprises a first frequency level of said frequency signal; first comparing, by said computer processor, said first frequency level to a predetermined frequency level value; and generating, by said computer processor, first results data comprising first results of said first comparing.
