  • Publication number: 20230176098
    Abstract: A metering device for monitoring power flow at a premises includes a metering module that measures power flow on powerlines at a premises and provides power flow data characterizing the power flow on the powerlines. The metering device also includes a communication module coupled to the metering module that transmits power flow data to a node on a meter network. The metering device further includes an energy storage element coupled to the metering module and the communication module. The energy storage element provides backup power to the metering module and the communication module in response to a voltage on the powerlines dropping below a first threshold for a time interval exceeding a second threshold, such that the metering module measures the power flow on the powerlines and provide the power flow data for a backup interval of time.

  • Patent number: 10439434
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide for impedance shift analysis for failure prediction in an electrical power distribution network. In an embodiment of the invention, the method includes receiving a sequence of electrical measurements indicative of an impedance measured for a segment of an electrical power distribution network over a period of time. Then, a set of impedance measurements is computed for the period of time and the set of impedance measurements is organized into a distribution correlating each one of the impedance measurement with a corresponding computed current measurement. A trend line for the distribution is identified and a slope computed of the trend line. Finally, on condition that the slope exceeds a threshold steepness, an impending failure in the segment is determined and a notification transmitted over a computer communications network to an end user requesting physical inspection of the segment.
