SUPPLEMENTAL TECHNIQUES FOR CHARACTERIZING POWER QUALITY EVENTS IN AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18407247 titled 'SUPPLEMENTAL TECHNIQUES FOR CHARACTERIZING POWER QUALITY EVENTS IN AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method for characterizing power quality events in an electrical system by deriving electrical measurement data from virtual meters installed at different metering points in the system.
- Virtual meters are created based on data captured by Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) at various metering points.
- The method involves deriving data from energy-related signals captured by IEDs to generate a dynamic tolerance curve for each virtual meter.
- Virtual meters are located at metering points different from where the IEDs are installed.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Utilizes data from IEDs to create virtual meters for characterizing power quality events.
- Dynamic tolerance curves are generated based on derived electrical measurement data.
- Virtual meters are located at different metering points within the electrical system.
Potential Applications:
- Power quality monitoring in electrical systems.
- Identifying and analyzing power quality events.
- Improving overall system reliability and efficiency.
Problems Solved:
- Lack of accurate characterization of power quality events.
- Difficulty in monitoring power quality at specific metering points.
- Inefficient analysis of electrical system performance.
Benefits:
- Enhanced power quality monitoring.
- Improved system reliability.
- Efficient analysis of power quality events.
Commercial Applications: Power utilities, industrial facilities, data centers, and commercial buildings can benefit from this technology for better monitoring and analysis of power quality events.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior patents related to power quality monitoring, virtual meters, and dynamic tolerance curves in electrical systems to understand the existing technology landscape.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in power quality monitoring, virtual metering technology, and dynamic tolerance curve generation in electrical systems for the latest innovations in the field.

Original Abstract Submitted
A method for characterizing power quality events in an electrical system includes deriving electrical measurement data for at least one first virtual meter in an electrical system from (a) electrical measurement data from or derived from energy-related signals captured by at least one first IED in the electrical system, and (b) electrical measurement data from or derived from energy-related signals captured by at least one second IED in the electrical system. In embodiments, the at least one first IED is installed at a first metering point in the electrical system, the at least one second IED is installed at a second metering point in the electrical system, and the at least one first virtual meter is derived or located at a third metering point in the electrical system. The derived electrical measurement data may be used to generate or update a dynamic tolerance curve associated with the third metering point.
