Abstract
A method for determining a location of a disturbance in a power system is provided. The method includes receiving data from a plurality of sensors distributed across the power system; determining, with one or more processors, for each sensor, an extremum of the data corresponding to the sensor; interpolating, with the one or more processors, the extrema; and presenting, on one or more display units, a location corresponding to a global maximum of the interpolated extrema as the location of the disturbance. The method may further include, if a difference between the largest extremum and each of remaining extremum is greater than a predetermined threshold, skipping the interpolating step and the presenting step, and presenting a location of the sensor corresponding to the largest extremum as the location of the disturbance.
