Patent ID: 11874304

Abstract:
The disclosure describes techniques for providing meter-to-transformer connectivity information and/or correction, using voltage-correlation, distance, and/or address data. In an example, a meter generates a time-series of voltage-changes. Transformers geographically close enough to the meter are assigned a time-series of voltage-changes. Pearson's Correlation Coefficient (PCC) values of the meter with respect to individual transformers are determined. A reference PCC value of the meter is set to be an average of a largest and a second largest PCC value from among the PCC values of the meter. Voltage-correlation confidence rating (VCCR) values for the meter with respect to each transformer that is within the threshold distance from the meter are calculated using the PCC. Based at least in part on the VCCR values for the meter with respect to each transformer that is within the threshold distance from that meter, a probability of the meter being connected to each transformer is determined.
