Systems, methods, and apparatuses for synchronizing electrical meters

A method comprising:

• interpreting, via a radio signal reference circuit, a reference radio signal value comprising a description of a radio signal from a transmitter that electrically impinges on an electrical grid, the radio signal having a carrier frequency;
• for each of a plurality of sensors, interrogating, via the sensor and at a sampling rate, an electrical property of one of a plurality of electrically coupled phases of an electrical grid, wherein:
• each of the plurality of sensors forms part of one of a plurality of electrical meters disposed at distinct locations,
• each of the plurality of electrical meters is electrically coupled to one of the plurality of phases, and
• the sampling rate is at least equal to the carrier frequency;
• for each of the plurality of sensors, generating, via the sensor, an electrical signal in response to the electrical property;
• determining, via a time alignment circuit, an expressed radio signal value for each of the plurality of electrical meters by processing the corresponding electrical signal to determine a time alignment metric in response to the reference radio signal value and the expressed radio signal value for each of the plurality of electrical meters;
• determining, via the time alignment circuit, a time synchronized electrical signal for each of the plurality of electrical meters in response to the time alignment metric;
• and
• transmitting, via a synchronization provisioning circuit, the time synchronized electrical signal.
