Claim 64:
65. A monitoring system, comprising:
one or more voltage sensors configured for detecting a voltage of a power cable on a distribution transformer(s);
a processor configured to monitor the voltage sensors to ensure that the distribution transformer and/or nearby power grid assets are operating properly, determine if a detrimental scenario is taking place based on the monitoring, and notifying a central computing device of the detrimental scenario so that remedial action may be taken, wherein the distribution transformer monitoring device is a reconciliation device that measures an exact amount of power that is supplied on a secondary and compares with power recorded by downstream meters to detect secondary power loss, wherein the processor is further configured for determining an amount of energy used by streetlights and based on this determination, the processor is further configured to detect when a streetlight is out or a light is on during daylight hours.
