1. A method of monitoring power distribution, on an electric power grid, using intelligent Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), wherein the intelligent RTUs are capable of autonomous advanced analytics of sensor data taken from electrical distribution lines, the method comprising:
- acquiring a sensor data from an electrical distribution line using an intelligent RTU;
locally performing advanced analytics on the sensor data by the intelligent RTU to create a processed data signal; and
transmitting the processed data signal to a control center server to allow a monitoring of power distribution on an electric power grid.
