1. An apparatus configured to determine one or more electromagnetic fields in one or more conductive elements of an electrical system, the one or more electromagnetic fields being caused by one or more electrical waves emitted by at least one electromagnetic wave creation element of the electrical system, the apparatus comprising:

  • one or more physical parameter sensors configured to measure physical parameters of the one or more conductive elements of the electrical system;

    one or more electrical parameter sensors configured to measure electrical parameters of the at least one electromagnetic wave creation element of the electrical system;

    a processing module; and

    a non-transitory memory storage module storing computer instructions configured to run on the processing module, the processing module being configured to;

    receive from the one or more physical parameter sensors two or more physical parameters of the one or more conductive elements;

    receive from the one or more electrical parameter sensors one or more electrical parameters of the at least one electromagnetic wave creation element;

    determine and store in memory at least one impedance matrix for the one or more conductive elements based on the two or more physical parameters and the one or more electrical parameters of the one or more conductive elements, the at least one impedance matrix representing electrical properties of the one or more conductive elements;

    determine and store in memory a mean energy of the one or more electromagnetic fields in the one or more conductive elements based on the at least one impedance matrix for the one or more conductive elements; and

    determine and store in memory an energy variance of the one or more electromagnetic fields in the one or more conductive elements based on the at least one impedance matrix for the one or more conductive elements;

    determine, based on the mean energy and the energy variance of the one or more electromagnetic fields in the one or more conductive elements, one or more changes to at least one of (i) the one or more conductive elements, (ii) a region surrounding the one or more conductive elements, and (iii) the at least one electromagnetic wave creation elementdetermine a model of the one or more changes to the at least one of (i) the one or more conductive elements, (ii) a region surrounding the one or more conductive elements, and (iii) the at least one electromagnetic wave creation element.
