Method of compressing values of a monitored electrical power signal

摘要

A method of compressing values of a waveform of a monitored electrical power signal. The method includes acquiring data representative of periods of the waveform, decomposing the waveform of the power signal into a plurality of components over a plurality of periods of the waveform, compressing the values of at least some of the components over a plurality of periods, and storing these values and extents.
