Method and apparatus for determining a corrected monitoring voltage
First Claim
1. A method for determining a corrected monitoring voltage, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing system comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
- generating power at a first location;
monitoring the generated power by measuring a first voltage proximate the first location, wherein measuring the first voltage comprises obtaining a first voltage measurement of the first voltage;
measuring a second voltage proximate a second location, the first and the second locations electrically coupled, wherein measuring the second voltage comprises obtaining a second voltage measurement of the second voltage;
computing a correction coefficient based on the first and the second voltage measurements; and
determining, based on the correction coefficient, a corrected monitoring voltage to compensate the measured first voltage for a distance between the first and the second locations.
