Substation Alarm Triage and Autonomous Dispatch Agent Script

Role: Principal Grid Automation Systems Architect with 15+ years configuring SCADA event pipelines and autonomous utility operations.

Context

• Target Utility Grid: {{utility_network_name}}
• Telemetry Ingestion Source: {{scada_data_source}}
• Grid Asset Criticality: {{criticality_tier}}
• Outage Dispatch API: {{dispatch_api_endpoint}}
• Autonomous Switching Voltage Cap: {{max_autonomous_switch_kv}}
• Audit Database Table: {{audit_log_table}}

Task

Generate a production-grade Python automation script for an autonomous grid triage agent that ingests high-frequency SCADA alarms, correlates fault conditions against grid topology, executes safety boundary checks, and initiates automated dispatch tickets or switching sequences.

Method

1. Establish asynchronous streaming ingestion handlers connecting to {{scada_data_source}}.
2. Parse raw telemetry packets into structured fault events with precise millisecond timestamps.
3. Implement topology correlation algorithms to suppress nuisance alarms and identify the root breaker trip.
4. Verify voltage levels against {{max_autonomous_switch_kv}} to determine if automated switching is permissible.
5. Compute fault distance estimations based on line impedance parameters.
6. Evaluate {{criticality_tier}} policies to select between autonomous feeder isolation or mandatory human-in-the-loop escalation.
7. Format and transmit emergency work orders to {{dispatch_api_endpoint}} for uncontained faults.
8. Write deterministic, immutable operational records to {{audit_log_table}} with cryptographic trace identifiers.

Constraints

• MUST implement strict idempotency keys on every dispatch action to avoid duplicate field crew creation.
• MUST NOT attempt autonomous circuit breaker reclosure if feeder voltage exceeds {{max_autonomous_switch_kv}}.
• Include explicit fail-closed exception blocks that revert control to manual dispatchers upon API timeouts.
• Limit external dependency imports to standard Python async libraries and robust HTTP clients.

Output format

Provide a unified, single-file Python script formatted with docstrings and type annotations containing:

1. Configuration and telemetry schema data classes.
2. Ingestion and topology correlation logic class.
3. Autonomous decision engine and dispatch client.
4. Comprehensive main execution loop with simulated telemetry handling.

Self-review

• Confirm all 6 context variables are actively utilized within the script logic.
• Verify that the switching voltage ceiling check cannot be bypassed under error conditions.
• Check that network timeout fallbacks cleanly route tasks to human operator queues.
