  • Patent number: 11508020
    Abstract: A method for operating a power consumption metering system and a power consumption metering system are disclosed. In an embodiment a method include measuring, by a sensor deployed at a monitored site, high speed power consumption values over time to obtain a high speed value pattern of power consumption with a resolution of more than 1000 values per second, determining one or more harmonics of the high speed value pattern, measuring, by the sensor, low speed power consumption values over time to obtain a low speed value pattern of the power consumption with a resolution of less than 100 values per second, providing the harmonics and the low speed value pattern to a cloud based data processing system and identifying a status of a power consumer of the monitored site dependent on the measured harmonics and the low speed value pattern.
