Apparatus and method for the measurement and monitoring of electrical power generation and transmission

An apparatus for the measurement and control remotely a line transporting electricity, comprising a first sensor (18) responsive to a first component of a magnetic flux density associated with said transmission line and generating a voltage proportional the magnetic flux density generated by current flow through said transmission line, a means (58) for converting the output voltage from said first sensor into a representative numerical value, a memory register (64) for storing said representative numerical value, a second sensor (16) for generating a voltage proportional to a net electric potential associated with said transmission line, a means (58) for converting the output voltage of said second sensor into a representative numerical value for storage memory register, a means for transmitting data (68, 69, 70) stored in said memory register to a central processing facility, a means (62) for combining the phase of the measured electric potential with the phase density measured flow to determine the phase of the electric potential relative to the magnetic flux density and for determining the phase of the electric potential relative to the magnetic flux density, the phase angle of the current along the conveying line with respect to the voltage on the transmission line and to calculate the power factor in the conveying line and to determine the magnitude and direction of energy flow in the conveying line, and a means for communicating information about energy flow such transport electricity to an end user.
