Abstract

Power system state estimation is the process of computing a reliable estimate of the system state vector composed of bus voltages’ magnitudes and angles from telemetered measurements on the system. This estimate of the state vector provides the description of the system necessary for operation, security monitoring and control. Many methods are described in literature for solving the state estimation problem, the most important of which are the classical weighted least squares and the non-quadratic method. However, both showed drawbacks when it comes to application to large-scale power system networks. In this paper, a new method in the name of decomposition-coordination approach using the weighted least squares is introduced in solving the large-scale power system state estimation problem. The estimation criterion is reformulated; voltage measurement, real and reactive power injections, real and reactive power flows, and real and reactive power flows in tie-line models of a decomposed system are developed. Two level structure of solving the estimation problem is introduced. The first level solves the sub-problem using gradient procedure methods while the second level determines the interconnection variables using predictive method. The positive characteristic of the method is that the coordinator has little work of predicting interconnection variables instead of solving the state estimation problem. The method can be used to solve a multi-area state estimation using parallel or distributed processing architectures.
