Claim One:
1. A method, comprising: maintaining a global power network model at a network control center configured to manage one or more substations associated with a power grid, the global power network model comprising a global logical representation of the power grid; receiving, at the network control center, a first power network model update from a first substation of the power grid, the first power network model update corresponding to a first power grid event at least partially in a first power grid territory associated with the first substation, the first power grid event comprising a switch of one or more consumers from a first feeder to a second feeder; evaluating, by the network control center, the first power grid event to determine whether the first power grid event was a desirable course of action; and responsive to determining, by the network control center, that the first power grid event was not a desirable course of action: sending a first notification of a corrective action to the first substation, the first notification comprising a first instruction for the first substation to update a first local power network model, the first local power network model comprising a first local logical representation of the first power grid territory with which the first substation is associated, the first local power network model based upon at least some of the global power network model; and sending a second notification of the corrective action to a second substation of the power grid, the second notification comprising a second instruction for the second substation to update a second local power network model, the second local power network model comprising a second local logical representation of a second power grid territory with which the second substation is associated, the second local power network model based upon at least some of the global power network model, the corrective action corresponding to a second power grid event at least partially in the second power grid territory.
