Application: Voltage grid anomaly detection (Patent ID: US20240210448A1)
The patent filed by Itron Inc. describes a method, apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium for detecting voltage anomalies in an electrical grid. The method involves collecting voltage data by sampling a voltage waveform, determining standard voltage waveform statistics, calculating statistical values, and capturing voltage waveforms when the statistical value is outside of a predetermined range. An alarm is then sent to a remote computing device associated with the electrical grid. The method includes selecting data during normal operation, determining statistical metrics like crest factor, kurtosis, or skewness, and capturing out-of-range data for analysis.
The patent also includes claims related to an electricity meter with processors, modules, and memory to perform the voltage anomaly detection method. The method involves determining standard voltage waveform statistics, calculating statistical values, and capturing voltage waveforms when the statistical value is outside of a predetermined range. The electricity meter can also determine multiple ranges for statistical metrics, capture out-of-range data, timestamp it, store original waveforms, and periodically transmit data to the remote computing device. Additionally, the patent covers a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for an electricity meter to perform the voltage anomaly detection method, including selecting normal operation data, determining statistical metrics, capturing out-of-range data, and sending alarms to the remote computing device.
