  • Maintaining connectivity information for meters and transformers located in a power distribution network
    Patent number: 11916380
    Abstract: Methods for verifying and updating connectivity information in a geographic information system may consider location information for meters and transformers and voltage data obtained by the meters. Meters that are incorrectly associated with a transformer may be flagged and candidate transformers may be evaluated to identify a correct association. The analysis may consider voltage data from multiple meters to determine correlation values. Correlation values or confidence factors may be used to identify a transformer for the correct association.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: February 27, 2024
    Assignee: Landis+Gyr Technology, Inc.
    Inventors: Soorya Kuloor, Chethana Kuloor, Umang Deora, Anthony DeRubeis

  • Voltage rating validator for advanced metering
    Patent number: 11061056
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a voltage meter rating for a utility meter connected to a distribution system via one or more distribution lines. The system accesses voltage measurements provided by a meter that represent a voltage at different time intervals. The system filters the voltage measurements to remove any voltage measurements that fall outside a voltage range for the distribution line. The system further determines a measured voltage rating from a set of candidate voltage ratings for the meter. The system compares a stored voltage rating for the meter and the measured voltage rating to determine a confidence level for the measured voltage rating. When the confidence level for measured voltage rating exceeds a confidence threshold, the system uses the measured voltage rating to maintain the distribution system.
