Abstract

Systems and methods for automatically selecting actions to take on a utility grid to simultaneously reduce uncertainty while selecting actions that improve one or more effectiveness metrics. Grid action effects are represented as confidence intervals, the overlap of which is used as a weight when selecting actions within a constrained search space of grid actions. The response of the utility grid to the grid actions may be measured and parsed by the temporal and spatial reach of the grid action, then used to update the confidence intervals for that particular selected grid action.
