POWER GRID SYSTEMS AND METHODS WITH ZONAL AUTONOMOUS CONTROL

Provided herein is a power grid system comprising a plurality of transmission zones. Each of the plurality of transmission zones may include zonal measurement devices configured to measure zonal operational parameters for an assigned transmission zone of the plurality of transmission zones. Each of the plurality of transmission zones further includes a zonal controller associated with the assigned transmission zone and in communication with the zonal measurement devices. The zonal controller is configured to receive zonal operational data for the assigned transmission zone from the zonal measurement devices. The zonal controller is further configured to determine a zonal orchestration index based on the zonal operational data. In addition, the zonal controller is configured to determine an adaptive control action for a control device in the assigned transmission zone based on the zonal orchestration index and communicate a command to the control device based on the adaptive control action.
