Abstract:
1. A method of characterizing an electrical power distribution system, comprising: applying, by at least one test/response unit, at least one test signal to at least one test point of the electrical power distribution system, wherein the at least one test point is electrically connected to the electrical power distribution system and the at least one test/response unit is electrically connected to the at least one test point; measuring, by a plurality of test/response units, a plurality of response signals at a plurality of test points, wherein the plurality of test points are electrically connected to the electrical power distribution system and the plurality of test/response units are electrically connected to the plurality of test points, wherein the plurality of response signals are generated in response to the at least one test signal; communicating, by the plurality of test/response units, the plurality of response signals to at least one controller; and characterizing the system, by the at least one controller, based on the plurality of response signals.
