1. A system, comprising:
a server comprising at least one processor coupled with memory to:
receive, from a metering device located on a grid, data that indicates a time series rate of change of at least one of a voltage or a current of electricity distributed via the grid subsequent to detection of a fault on the grid;
compare the time series rate of change with a predetermined pattern; and
determine, based at least in part on the comparison of the time series rate of change with the predetermined pattern, a location of the metering device on the grid relative to a location of the fault on the grid.
