Abstract
A method of determining a communication time delay in a communication network between a local terminal and one or more remote terminals within an electrical power network includes: selecting, in respect of the or each remote terminal a calculation node in the electrical power network; calculating respective node currents flowing into the corresponding calculation node from the local terminal and the or each remote terminal; equating, in respect of the or each remote terminal, a sum of node currents flowing into the corresponding calculation node to zero according to Kirchhoff's first law; and extracting, in respect of the or each remote terminal, a communication time delay between the local terminal and the said respective remote terminal from a corresponding equated sum of node currents.
