To provide a scale free communication network in a power network.
The scale free communication network comprises a plurality of distribution devices 10 communicatively coupled to each other in a power network that include a protection device 12 and a controller 14 coupled to each of the plurality of distribution devices in the power network. The controller identifies a plurality of isolated distribution devices. The controller further restores the plurality of isolated distribution devices in the power network by automatically activating a tie-switch in the power network. The controller also computes reliability indicators for each of the restored distribution device in the power network. Furthermore, the controller identifies critical distribution devices in the power network on the basis of the computed reliability indicators and establishes a scale free communications network within the power network on the basis of the identified critical distribution devices.
