Claim 0:
1. A method for characterizing an impact of a power quality event on an electrical system, comprising:
processing electrical measurement data from or derived from energy-related signals captured by at least one metering device to identify a power quality event associated with at least one load monitored by the at least one metering device, wherein the at least one metering device and the at least one load are installed at respective locations in the electrical system;
determining if the identified power quality event has an impact on the at least one load or on the electrical system;
in response to determining that the identified power quality event has an impact on the at least one load or on the electrical system, determining a recovery time for the at least one load or the electrical system to recover from the identified power quality event, and tagging the recovery time as normal, or atypical, abnormal or event-related, based on the determined recovery time;
determining a mitigation solution for mitigating or eliminating the impact, wherein the mitigation solution is determined using the tagging of the recovery time; and
identifying a probable reduction in at least one of the impact, the recovery time, recovery energy, CO2 emissions related to the recovery energy, and event-related costs associated with the mitigation solution based on an expected ride-through characteristic of the mitigation solution.
