Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed that operate to correct the electrical characteristics of an electric distribution system based on analysis at a particular point in the system, for example, at a customer's meter. To do so, the subject characteristic may be measured at the meter. The subject characteristic may be provided to a power inverter controller, which responds by modifying the characteristic of the inverter output to achieve the desired measurement at the meter.
