Abstract
A system for detecting a fault in an electric grid, including a plurality of grid measuring devices distributed in the electric grid, being operative to measure current and/or voltage with their respective time of occurrence, enabling a user to define at least one fault type, and at least one rule for detecting the fault type, the rule associating the fault type with at least one of the measurements, executing the measurements, and analyzing the measurements according to the rule to detect a fault.
Claims15
A method for detecting a fault in an electric grid, the method comprising:
