1. A method of analyzing events for an electrical system, comprising:
receiving an event stream(s) of events occurring in the electrical system, the events being identified from captured energy-related signals in the electrical system;
analyzing, an event stream(s) of the events to identify different actionable triggers therefrom, the different actionable triggers including a scenario in which a group of events satisfies one or more predetermined triggering conditions;
analyzing, over time, the different actionable triggers to identify a combination of occurring and/or non-occurring actionable triggers which satisfies at least one of a predefined trigger combination condition and an analysis time constraint, the analysis time constraint being a time period duration and/or sequence within which time-stamped data of events in the event stream(s) and the associated actionable triggers are considered or not considered in the analysis to identify the combination of the at least one occurring and/or non-occurring actionable triggers, the analysis time constraint comprising a time condition in which data of any events or actionable triggers having the same time-stamp are considered invalid as contradictory data; and
in response to observing the combination of the at least one occurring and/or non-occurring actionable triggers, taking one or more actions to address the events, the one or more actions including at least one of an alarm or other notification, additional analysis or data processing, reconfiguration or repair of the electrical system, turning off particular system components/sub-systems, and other user or system determined actions.
