A system, method, and article of manufacture for determining parameter
values associated with an electrical grid in accordance with an exemplary
embodiment is provided. The electrical grid has a point of
interconnection where the electrical grid is electrically coupled to a
power source. The method includes measuring real power at the point of
interconnection of the electrical grid to obtain a plurality of real
power values. The method further includes measuring reactive power at the
point of interconnection of the electrical grid to obtain a plurality of
reactive power values. The method further includes measuring a voltage at
the point of interconnection of the electrical grid to obtain a plurality
of voltage values. The method further includes estimating at least one
parameter value associated with the electrical grid utilizing the
plurality of real power values, the plurality of reactive power values,
and the plurality of voltage values, and a mathematical estimation
technique.
