Abstract

A method and system allows for substantially real-time monitoring of the operational dynamics of power plants and other components comprising an AC power grid, by using information collected from a network of power grid frequency detection and reporting devices. The invention allows for the substantially real-time detection and reporting of certain power grid events such as power plant trips.
