Abstract
A device, method, and computer-readable medium for correcting at least one error in readings of electricity meters, the method including receiving first readings of regular meters measuring electric energy delivered in each of a group of cables fed from a same distribution node in an electric grid during a period of time, receiving second readings of check meters measuring electric energy delivered in each of combinations of cables in the group of cables during the period of time, the combinations of cables being formed based on a redundant matrix in a generator matrix of a linear systematic block code, and correcting, in response to determining that at least one error been detected, the at least one error in the first readings of the regular meters and the second readings of the check meters.
Claims9
A method for correcting electricity meter readings, comprising:
- receiving first readings of regular meters measuring electric energy delivered in each of a group of cables fed from a same distribution node delivering electric energy to one or more electric energy transmission systems in an electric grid comprising multiple electric energy transmission systems during a period of time;
- receiving second readings of check meters measuring electric energy delivered in each of combinations of cables in the group of cables during the period of time, the combinations of cables being formed based on a redundant matrix in a generator matrix of a linear systematic block code;
- and
- correcting, in response to determining that at least one error has been detected, the at least one error in the first readings of the regular meters and the second readings of the check meters based on a syndrome vector of a reading vector that includes the first readings of the regular meters and the second readings of the check meters, the syndrome vector of the reading vector being computed using a decoding matrix that is obtained by modifying a parity-check matrix of the linear systematic block code.
