  • Publication number: 20210033651
    Abstract: An apparatus for measurement of power in an electric power transmission line is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a magnetic field sensor for measuring the magnetic field at the electric power transmission line and transmitting magnetic field data to a processor. The magnetic field sensor is arranged at a minimum threshold distance from the electric power transmission line. The apparatus also has a voltage sensor arranged distally from the magnetic field sensor for transmitting voltage waveform data to the processor and a transfer function calculator for calculating the relationship between the transmitted voltage waveform data at the voltage sensor and transmission line voltage waveform data.

  • Patent number: 10393777
    Abstract: A system and method for measurement of one or more parameters of a power grid (10) is disclosed. This comprises determining a plurality of events in at least one power waveform on the power grid using at least two sensors (30, 50) and recording timings of the plurality of events in at least two different locations in the power grid. The data gathered is used to determine differences between the timings recorded in the at least two locations. A processing unit (40) is used to analyze the differences of the timings to determine the one or more parameters. These parameters include power flow, short circuits, and breaks in the power grid (10).

  • Patent number: 10330512
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for measuring a flow rate through a vessel, such as a conduit or pipeline. The method comprises providing a reference parameter, measuring a first parameter at a first position at the vessel and determining a difference between the first parameter and the reference parameter. The flow rate through the vessel is determined based on the difference between the first parameter and the reference parameter.
