Abstract: Method and system allowing more accurate detection and identification of unwanted arcing include novel processing of signal voltage representing recovered power-line current. In one implementation, arc-faults are detected based on numerical analysis where individual cycles of line voltage and current are observed and data collected during each cycle is processed to estimate likelihood of presence of arc-event within each individual cycle based on pre-defined number of arc-events occurring within pre-defined number of contiguous cycles. In another implementation, fast transient current spikes detection can be done by: computing difference values between consecutive line-current samples collected over a cycle, average of differences, and peak-to-peak value of line-current; comparing each difference value to average of difference; comparing each difference value to peak-to-peak value; and, based on calculation of composite of two comparisons, using thresholds to determine if arcing is present within processed cycle.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for corona detection using audio data are provided. In one example embodiment, the method includes obtaining, by one or more computing devices, audio data indicative of audio associated with an electrical system for at least one time interval. The method includes partitioning, by the one or more computing devices, the audio data for the time interval into a plurality of time windows. The method includes determining, by the one or more computing devices, a signal indicative of a presence of corona based at least in part on audio data collected within an identified time window of the plurality of time windows relative to audio data collected for a remainder of the time interval.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining an effective wind speed are disclosed. A system includes a first detector, a second detector and a processing unit. The first detector includes a heated temperature-sensing element having a heater and a first temperature sensor, and a first housing at least partially housing the heated temperature-sensing element. The second detector includes a non-heated temperature-sensing element having a second temperature sensor, a second housing at least partially housing the non-heated temperature-sensing element. The processing unit can be adapted to determine the effective wind speed according to a temperature at the heated temperature-sensing element, a temperature at the non-heated temperature-sensing element, and/or a difference between these temperatures and in accordance with an algorithm or table of values. The heated and non-heated temperature-sensing elements and their respective first housing and second housing are collinear, proximal and parallel to the conductor, and protected from precipitation by a shield.
