A system for dynamic rating of a power grid may include a plurality of terminal units, and a controller. The terminal units may detect a voltage phasor and a current phasor at nodes of the power grid. The controller may, based on the voltage phasors and the current phasors of the plurality of nodes, determine a dynamic thermal stability power rating for each line, a dynamic angular stability power rating for each node, and a dynamic voltage stability power rating for each node. The controller may, based on the dynamic thermal stability power rating, the dynamic angular stability power rating, and the dynamic voltage stability power rating, determine a dynamic system rating for the power grid. The controller may control the power grid in response to the dynamic system rating.

Systems and methods for dynamic rating of power grids

A trip apparatus for a circuit interruption device that comprises a coil operatively connectable to a circuit interruption device. The coil is configured to selectively operate the circuit interruption device to interrupt when a current flowing through the circuit interruption device exceeds a threshold. The trip apparatus also includes a current measuring device configured to selectively measure a coil current flowing through the coil to determine a measured coil current signal. In addition, the trip apparatus includes a monitoring device configured to determine the derivative of the measured coil current signal and to perform a correlation of the derivative of the measured coil current signal and a reference derivative of a reference coil current signal to determine a correlation output. The monitoring device is further configured to compare the correlation output with a reference correlation threshold to determine whether an operating condition of the coil is normal or abnormal.
