Abstract
The monitoring and control system of the present invention provides a distributed intelligence, data acquisition and control system which collects and analyzes large amounts of data representing power usage from a power distribution substation. Using a Discrete Fourier Transform, the system provides accurate tracking of the primary frequency of the voltage and current waveforms in the power equipment, and determines the relative phase between the voltage and current waveforms. The system provides real time monitoring of power usage and real time control of various functions in the substation.
