Synchronized Line Loss Analysis for Transmission Lines

The patent implements preliminary clock synchronization before data collection begins. Each terminal device (at both ends of the transmission line) is equipped with a clock synchronization module that synchronizes their local clocks with a reference time source. This preliminary synchronization ensures that all measurement data is timestamped with consistent time references, enabling accurate line loss calculations even though data collection occurs asynchronously at different locations.

The patent introduces a time synchronization mechanism as an intermediary between the distributed terminal devices. The clock synchronization module acts as this intermediary, coordinating the time references of multiple asynchronous devices. This allows the system to maintain temporal consistency without requiring all devices to operate simultaneously, thus resolving the contradiction between measurement precision and system complexity.

The system performs clock synchronization as a preliminary action before actual data collection. Each terminal device synchronizes its internal clock with the reference time source in advance, establishing consistent time references. This allows operators to collect data at convenient times from different locations without compromising reliability, as the time synchronization is already established.

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where terminal devices continuously monitor time differences and adjust their timestamps accordingly. The system provides feedback about time synchronization status to each device, allowing them to compensate for any time drift. This feedback loop ensures that even if data collection operations are performed asynchronously, the time-stamped data remains reliable for line loss calculations.

The patent implements clock synchronization as a preliminary action that occurs continuously in the background, rather than requiring synchronous data collection. Once clocks are synchronized, terminal devices can independently collect data at their own convenient times. The time synchronization is maintained continuously through feedback mechanisms, ensuring measurement precision without requiring coordinated simultaneous data collection.

The system transitions from static synchronous data collection to dynamic asynchronous data collection with continuous time synchronization. The clock synchronization modules continuously adjust time references in real-time, allowing data collection to occur at different times while maintaining precision. This dynamic approach eliminates the need for rigid scheduling while preserving measurement accuracy.
