Real-time system for verification and monitoring of protective device settings within an electrical power distribution network and automatic correction of deviances found
First Claim
1. A system for real-time verification of protective device system configuration settings on a monitored system, comprising:
- a data acquisition component communicatively connected to a sensor configured to acquire real-time protective device configuration data from a protective device that is part of the monitored system;
a power analytics server communicatively connected to the data acquisition component, the power analytics server comprisinga virtual system model database configured to store a virtual system model of the monitored system, wherein the virtual system model includes preset protective device configuration settings for the protective device, anda protective device system verification engine configured to monitor the real-time protective device configuration data and the preset protective device configuration settings, the protective device system verification engine further configured to generate a warning when there is a difference between the real-time protective device configuration data and the preset protective device configuration settings; and
a client terminal communicatively connected to the power analytics server, the client terminal configured to communicate the warning.

Abstract
A system for real-time verification of protective device system configuration settings on a monitored system, is disclosed. The system includes a data acquisition component, a virtual system model database, a protective device system verification engine. The data acquisition component is communicatively connected to a sensor configured to real-time protective device configuration data output from a protective device that is part of the monitored system. The virtual system model database is configured to update a virtual mode of the system based on the status of the protective devices and to store a virtual system model of the monitored system, including preset protective device configuration settings for the protective device. The protective device system verification engine configured to monitor the real-time protective device configuration data and the preset protective device configuration settings and generate a warning when there is a difference between the real-time protective device configuration data and the preset protective device configuration settings.
