Abstract:
A communication device detects whether anomalous events occur with respect to at least one node in a utility network. The communication device has recorded therein threshold operating information and situational operating information. The threshold operating information includes data indicative of configured acceptable operating parameters of nodes in the network based on respective locational information of the nodes. The situational information includes data indicative of configured operation data expected to be received from nodes in the network during a predetermined time period, based on a condition and/or event occurring during the time period. The communication device receives operation data from nodes in the network, and determines whether the operation data from a node constitutes an anomalous event based on a comparison of the received operation data with (i) the threshold operating information defined for the node and (ii) the situational information. The communication device outputs notification of any determined anomalous event.

Claim (Index 9):
The communication device according to  claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to:\n compare the operation data received from a node with the historical operating information for the node from which the operation data was received; determine whether the received operation data represents an acceptable operating condition based on the comparison of the received operation data with the historical operating information; compare the received operation data with the situational information, if the control unit determines that the received operation data represents an acceptable operating condition based on the comparison of the received operation data with the historical operating information; determine whether the received operation data represents operation data that is expected to be received based on the comparison of the received operation data with the situational information; determine that the received operation data represents an anomalous event, if the control unit determines that the received operation data does not represent expected operation data based on the comparison of the received operation data with the historical operating information, the historical operating information for a node including acceptable operating parameters for the node based on the expected operation data for the node and whether any received operation data represented an anomalous event; determine whether the acceptable operating parameters included in the historical operating information for the node are altered by the situational information, if the control unit determines that the received operation data does not represent an acceptable operating condition based on the comparison of the received operation data with the historical operating information; determine that the received operation data represents an anomalous event, if the control unit determines that the acceptable operating parameters included in the historical operating information for the node are not altered by the situational information; compare the received operation data with the situational information, if the control unit determines that the acceptable operating parameters included in the historical operating information for the node are altered by the situational information; determine whether the received operation data represents operation data that is expected to be received based on the comparison of the received operation data with the situational information, if the control unit determines that the acceptable operating parameters included in the historical operating information for the node are altered by the situational information; and determine that the received operation data represents an anomalous event, if the control unit determines that the received operation data does not represent expected operation data based on the comparison of the received operation data with the historical operating information, and if the control unit determines that the acceptable operating parameters included in the historical operating information for the node are altered by the situational information.
