  • Patent number: 12270848
    Abstract: A signal-analysis-based process for detecting and correcting power feeds is provided. The process includes obtaining voltage waveform data for power feeds connected to a system, and determining for the power feeds, using the obtained voltage waveform data, at least one respective signal characteristic. Further, the process includes comparing the respective signal characteristics of the power feeds to ascertain at least one signal characteristic difference between the power feeds. Based on the at least one signal characteristic difference not exceeding at least one respective difference limit, the process determines that the power feeds are not separately-sourced redundant power feeds connected to the system, and based on determining that the power feeds are not separately-sourced redundant power feeds, the process initiates a corrective action to ensure that the system is connected to separately-sourced redundant power feeds.

  • Publication number: 20250088031
    Abstract: A technique for determining an electrical grid power source using a power line signal which includes electronic communication using a power line between a host device and power supply units (PSUs) on an electrical power grid. The host device can designate a PSU as a signal generator and designate remaining PSUs as signal receivers. The host device generates a signal onto the power line used by the PSUs. The signal is detected at each of the receivers on the power line. A response by one of the receivers to the host device, is in response to the detection of the signal at the receiver. An electronic communication device receives communication from the host device that the signal is detected by the receiver.
