Systems and methods for real- time protective device evaluation in an electrical power distribution system

摘要

A system for providing real-time modeling of protective device in an electrical systemunder management is disclosed. The system includes a data acquisition component,a virtual system modeling engine, and an analytics engine. The data acquisitioncomponent is communicatively connected to a sensor configured to provide real-timemeasurements of data output from protective devices within the system undermanagement. The virtual system modeling engine is configured to update a virtualmode of the system based on the status of the protective devices and to generatepredicted data for the system using the updated virtual model. The analyticsengine is communicatively connected to the data acquisition system and the virtualsystem modeling engine and is configured to monitor and analyze a differencebetween the real-time data output and the predicted data output. The analyticsengine is also configured to determine the bracing capabilities for the protectivedevices.
