What it is
Live Power Intelligence announced US Patent No. 12,566,197 for remote monitoring of electrical transmission infrastructure. The technology uses magnetic field and voltage sensors to measure power flow in transmission lines with 60-second data refresh rates, supporting grid intelligence for power traders and utilities.
Why it matters
This patent covers transmission-level grid monitoring for power market participants rather than facility distribution systems. While monitoring is relevant to FMP, the application is at utility transmission scale serving traders and power companies, not the building/campus distribution networks where FMP practitioners work on installation, UPS, or branch circuit constraints.
Evidence from source:
- Patent covers ‘remotely measuring power flow in transmission lines’ using ‘magnetic field sensor and a voltage sensor’
- 60-second data refresh rate for ‘power generation, transmission, and load data’
- Target customers are ’traders, power companies, utilities and asset developers’ for power market decisions

Open questions
- Could similar sensor approaches scale down to facility-level feeder or branch circuit monitoring?
- What integration pathways exist between utility-scale grid data and facility-level power management systems?
