  • System for locating power faults based on a direction of current flow
    Patent number: 12332292
    Abstract: Systems and methods, and computing platforms for determining a fault in a power system, executing on a controller are disclosed. Exemplary implementations can receive, from the plurality of system control modules, a plurality of power flow directions as measured by the plurality of line current sensors, receive, from the plurality of system control modules, a plurality of voltage measurements based on measurements of a plurality of potential transformers, determine a location of a power fault using the plurality of power flow directions, and determine a phase of the power fault using the plurality of voltage measurements.
    Type: Grant
