Computational algorithms or 'solvers' may be executed on intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) in an electric power delivery system to perform tasks such as locating and isolating electrical faults and restoring service to an area after an electrical fault occurs. However, executing the solvers may become a computationally prohibitive task, particularly where computing power is limited (e.g., low-power pole-top computers). In certain embodiments, computing power may be offloaded onto multi-instance networks that may enable processing of large amounts of complex data. It may be difficult for the multi-instance networks to obtain real-time or near real-time data from the electric power delivery system due to cybersecurity concerns. As such, multiple stateless services may be used to evaluate limited and/or obfuscated representations of a portion (e.g., a single feeder circuit) of the electric power delivery system.
