Methods are described for monitoring a power grid at an output of a power converter. Operational parameters of the power converter may be determined as a result of data collected during monitoring. A grid code for the power grid to which the power converter is to be connected may be received subsequent to the collecting. An operational mode of the power converter may be established, based, at least on part, on the operational parameters and the grid code. In the event the grid code and the operational parameters match, the power converter may be activated for electrical power production based on the operational mode. When the grid code and the operational parameters do not match, an error condition may be raised.

A method for monitoring power consumption of an appliance within a space is provided. The method includes obtaining a first set of data indicative of power consumption of the appliance during an interval of time and determining a profile indicative of power consumption of the appliance based, at least in part, on the first set of data. The method includes obtaining a second set of data indicative of power consumption of the appliance subsequent to obtaining the first set of data. The method includes determining whether power consumption of the appliance deviates from the profile based, at least in part, on the second set of data. Furthermore, in response to determining power consumption of the appliance deviates from the profile, the method includes providing a notification indicative of power consumption of the appliance deviating from the profile.

The present invention disclosed a method for calculating an oscillation damping ratio of a power grid, and relates to the field of power system operation and control. When a power system oscillates, an oscillation period, two oscillation extreme points, and an oscillation direct current component start to be detected. Then an oscillation decay time constant is calculated according to the two oscillation extreme points and the oscillation direct current component. The oscillation damping ratio is calculated through the oscillation decay time constant and the oscillation period. Compared with a conventional fitting method, the conventional fitting method cannot calculate and analyze the oscillation damping ratio in a cast that a complete oscillation waveform is not obtained. The method proposed by the present inventive patent may complete the calculation of the oscillation damping ratio in a case of obtaining 2 pieces of data, so as to accelerate the speed of calculation.

A powerline load monitor has a voltage sense input, a current sense input, a clock input and a data output. It includes first and second ADCs coupled with the voltage sense and current sense input, and coupled with a serial interface. A power manager is coupled with the clock input, the ADCs, and the serial interface. When the power manager receives a first clock, it puts the powerline load monitor in active mode and starts a first timer with a first timeout time. The first and second ADC convert a sensed voltage and a sensed current to digital values for the serial interface. When the serial interface receives a trailing edge of a clock pulse, it outputs a data bit of the digital values. When the first timer times out, the power manager puts the powerline load monitor in a standby mode to save power.
