Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for unsupervised power-line event location within a power-line network. In one embodiment, e-field measurements are received from a plurality of line-mounted sensors located on one or more power lines in the power-line network. The e-field measurements to voltage approximations. A feeder model of the power line network is constructed based at least in part on the voltage approximations. An event within the power-line network is identified. A location of the event is identified based at least in part on the feeder model.

A method for unsupervised power-line event location within a power-line network, comprising:
- receiving e-field measurements from a plurality of line-mounted sensors located on one or more power lines in the power-line network;
- converting the e-field measurements to voltage approximations;
- constructing a feeder model of the power line network based at least in part on the voltage approximations;
- identifying an event within the power-line network;
- and
- identifying a location of the event based at least in part on the feeder model.
A system for unsupervised power-line event location, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions executable by the processor, wherein when executed the instructions cause the processor to at least:
- receive e-field measurements from a plurality of line-mounted sensors located on one or more power lines in a power-line network;
- convert the e-field measurements to voltage approximations;
- construct a feeder model of the power line network based at least in part on the voltage approximations;
- identify an event within the power-line network;
- and
- identify a location of the event based at least in part on the feeder model.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to at least:
- receive e-field measurements from a plurality of line-mounted sensors located on one or more power lines in the power-line network;
- convert the e-field measurements to voltage approximations;
- construct a feeder model of the power line network based at least in part on the voltage approximations;
- identify an event within the power-line network;
- and
- identify a location of the event based at least in part on the feeder model.
