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 system under management is disclosed. The system includes a data acquisition component, a virtual system modeling engine, and an analytics engine. The data acquisition component is communicatively connected to a sensor configured to provide real-time measurements of data output from protective devices within the system under management. The virtual system modeling engine is configured to update a virtual mode of the system based on the status of the protective devices and to generate predicted data for the system using the updated virtual model. The analytics engine is communicatively connected to the data acquisition system and the virtual system modeling engine and is configured to monitor and analyze a difference between the real-time data output and the predicted data output. The analytics engine is also configured to determine the bracing capabilities for the protective devices.
