Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for calculating a downstream load in a power distribution network. A power distribution network may comprise smart meters capable of communicating readings describing power consumed by a customer to a monitoring computing device. A downstream load may be determined by the monitoring computing device for a point in the power distribution network using an average power determined for devices downstream from the point in the power distribution network. The average power for the devices downstream may be determined utilizing the readings received from the smart meters.
