Abstract:
1. A method, implemented by a computer system, of processing electric power distribution network (EPDN) performance data, wherein the EPDN includes a network circuit including a plurality of distribution transformers, the method comprising: acquiring the performance data derived from measurements of a performance parameter of the plurality of distribution transformers; wherein the measurements comprise measurements of the performance parameter taken at each of the plurality of distribution transformers; determining whether the performance data associated with each of the plurality of distribution transformers satisfies any of three or more conditions for the performance parameter; wherein a first condition of the three or more conditions comprises the performance parameter beyond a first threshold value; wherein a second condition of the three or more conditions comprises the performance parameter beyond a second threshold value; wherein a third condition of the three or more conditions comprises the performance parameter between the first and second threshold values; and outputting a notification upon determining that performance data for a first distribution transformer satisfies the first condition for the performance parameter.
