A system and method for monitoring and managing electrical power transmission and distribution networks through use of a deterministic, non-iterative method using an holomorphic embedding and algebraic approximants for determining the real-time load flow in a power generating system having an electrical grid. Such method may be employed for real-time or off-line applications for electric power systems reliability assessment, and is capable of determining whether or not a physical solution to the load flow problem exists, or if the system is in a state of voltage collapse.read more

Power transmission line monitoring system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a voltage divider technique which takes advantage of the highly dielectric character of plastic and glass materials in general and fiber optic cables in particular to form a dual purpose unibody cable assembly containing both the optical fibers of the data link and the large resistive link of the voltage dividers.
