Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system of monitoring partial discharges occurring in an electrical system, and to a method of measuring or analyzing partial discharges occurring in an electrical system. The method comprising receiving a signal or impulse, or information associated therewith, from the electrical system; breaking the received signal or impulse into predefined frequency components; and displaying a peak of the received signal or impulse on a scatter plot with other peaks associated with similar predefined frequency components.

Abstract: This invention relates to high voltage electrical or power systems and in particular to a method and device for monitoring partial discharges in high voltage electrical or power systems. The method comprises defining a low trigger level and a high trigger level electrical pulse amplitude levels, monitoring at least one phase of the electrical system for an occurrence of a pulse within a defined minor time frame; detecting a peak amplitude of a pulse occurring in the electrical system within the minor time frame; determining if the detected peak amplitude of the pulse exceeds the lower and higher trigger levels; assigning a pulse number to the pulse if the peak amplitude of the pulse exceeds the trigger levels; capturing the pulse if the pulse number associated with the pulse is less than a predetermined pulse number threshold in the minor time frame; and storing the captured pulses in a memory.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method (310, 330, 350, 370) of demand side electrical load management and an associated apparatus (104) and system (100). The method (310, 330, 350, 370) includes providing (336, 318) a consumer of electricity with an indication of instantaneous electricity consumption. The method (310, 330, 350, 370) further includes determining (382) an electricity consumption threshold for the consumer, in response to a determination that load limiting is required and providing (384, 356, 338, 320, 322) the consumer with an indication of the electricity consumption threshold and an indication of a time period within which the consumer must limit his/her electricity consumption to comply with the electricity consumption threshold. The method (310, 330, 350, 370) also includes interrupting (360, 340, 342, 324) supply of electricity to the consumer in response to the electricity consumption of the consumer violating the electricity consumption threshold after the time period has elapsed.
