A method for measuring electric currents and a method for measuring electrical voltages. The method uses a mathematical model of the measuring system to compensate for error effects of the real system compared to an ideal system, thereby enabling a highly accurate measuring system. An energy meter compensates for the error effects of the real measuring system.

An energy meter is configured to determine component waveforms that form a measured waveform. The meter inputs the waveform into one or more entries of a data structure, each entry of the one or more entries of the data structure storing a weight value that is determined based at least in part on values of the data signatures representing the plurality of remote devices, each entry being connected to one or more other entries of the data structure. The meter, for each of the one or more entries, generates an output value by performing an arithmetic operation on the waveform stored at that entry, the arithmetic operation comprising a function of the weight value. The meter identifies, from among the data signatures, one or more particular data signatures that are represented in the waveform. The meter determines, based on the particular data signatures, an operational state of another device.

A method and apparatus for analyzing power devices in a circuit are disclosed. In one embodiment, a power analysis apparatus analyzes information on power supplied to the circuit and classifies the power patterns into groups of their own similar power patterns by making reference to the information on the power patterns, so as to acquire at least one piece of motif information which is information on at least one fingerprint. The apparatus further counts the frequency of occurrence of each motif and determines a pair of specific motifs having the difference between the counted frequencies of occurrence, which is within a predetermined value range, and average power variation values symmetrical to each other, whereby an accurate determination can be made as to the individual power devices in the circuit.

A method, apparatus, and system for identifying electrical phases connected to electricity meters are disclosed. Voltage time series data of electricity meters are collected over a preselected collection time period, and three initial kernels representing three line-to-neutral phases are generated based on voltage correlations of meter-to-meter combinations. Three new kernels are then generated based on correlation values calculated for each of the three initial kernels with each electricity meter, and electricity meters are clustered into three groups based on average correlation values associated with each electricity meter. Six new kernels representing six phases are then formed based on the average correlation value associated with each electricity meter, and a predicted phase is assigned to each electricity meter based on correlation values of the electricity meter with each of the six new kernels based on the voltage time series data.

An electrical panel or an electrical meter may provide improved functionality by interacting with a smart plug. A smart plug may provide a smart-plug power monitoring signal that includes information about power consumption of devices connected to the smart plug. The smart-plug power monitoring signal may be used in conjunction with power monitoring signals from the electrical mains of the building for providing information about the operation of devices in the building. For example, the power monitoring signals may be used to (i) determine the main of the house that provides power to the smart plug, (ii) identify devices receiving power from the smart plug, (iii) improve the accuracy of identifying device state changes, and (iv) train mathematical models for identifying devices and device state changes.
