Comparing Kalman Filters and Observers for Power System Dynamic State Estimation with Model Uncertainty and Malicious Cyber Attacks
Kalman filters and observers are two main classes of dynamic state estimation
(DSE) routines. Power system DSE has been implemented by various Kalman
filters, such as the extended Kalman filter (EKF) and the unscented Kalman
filter (UKF). In this paper, we discuss two challenges for an effective power
system DSE: (a) model uncertainty and (b) potential cyber attacks. To address
this, the cubature Kalman filter (CKF) and a nonlinear observer are introduced
and implemented. Various Kalman filters and the observer are then tested on the
16-machine, 68-bus system given realistic scenarios under model uncertainty and
different types of cyber attacks against synchrophasor measurements. It is
shown that CKF and the observer are more robust to model uncertainty and cyber
attacks than their counterparts. Based on the tests, a thorough qualitative
comparison is also performed for Kalman filter routines and observers.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1508.0725

An LFT/SDP approach to the uncertainty analysis for state
A state estimator is an algorithm that computes the current state of a time-varying system from on-line measurements. Physical quantities such as measurements and parameters are characterised by uncertainty. Understanding how uncertainty affects the accuracy of state estimates is therefore a pre-requisite to the application of such techniques to real systems. In this paper we develop a method of uncertainty analysis based on linear fractional transformations (LFT) and obtain ellipsoid-of-confidence bounds by recasting the LFT problem into a semidefinite programming problem (SDP). The ideas are illustrated by applying them to a simple water distribution network
PMU-Based ROCOF Measurements: Uncertainty Limits and Metrological Significance in Power System Applications
In modern power systems, the Rate-of-Change-of-Frequency (ROCOF) may be
largely employed in Wide Area Monitoring, Protection and Control (WAMPAC)
applications. However, a standard approach towards ROCOF measurements is still
missing. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of Phasor Measurement
Units (PMUs) deployment in ROCOF-based applications, with a specific focus on
Under-Frequency Load-Shedding (UFLS). For this analysis, we select three
state-of-the-art window-based synchrophasor estimation algorithms and compare
different signal models, ROCOF estimation techniques and window lengths in
datasets inspired by real-world acquisitions. In this sense, we are able to
carry out a sensitivity analysis of the behavior of a PMU-based UFLS control
scheme. Based on the proposed results, PMUs prove to be accurate ROCOF meters,
as long as the harmonic and inter-harmonic distortion within the measurement
pass-bandwidth is scarce. In the presence of transient events, the
synchrophasor model looses its appropriateness as the signal energy spreads
over the entire spectrum and cannot be approximated as a sequence of
narrow-band components. Finally, we validate the actual feasibility of
PMU-based UFLS in a real-time simulated scenario where we compare two different
ROCOF estimation techniques with a frequency-based control scheme and we show
their impact on the successful grid restoration.Comment: Manuscript IM-18-20133R. Accepted for publication on IEEE

Overview of methods to analyse dynamic data
This book gives an overview of existing data analysis methods to analyse the dynamic data obtained from full scale testing, with their advantages and drawbacks. The overview of full scale testing and dynamic data analysis is limited to energy performance characterization of either building components or whole buildings.
The methods range from averaging and regression methods to dynamic approaches based on system identification techniques. These methods are discussed in relation to their application in following in situ measurements:
-measurement of thermal transmittance of building components based on heat flux meters;
-measurement of thermal and solar transmittance of building components tested in outdoor calorimetric test cells;
-measurement of heat transfer coefficient and solar aperture of whole buildings based on co-heating or transient heating tests;
-characterisation of the energy performance of whole buildings based on energy use monitoring
Active sensor fault tolerant output feedback tracking control for wind turbine systems via T-S model
This paper presents a new approach to active sensor fault tolerant tracking control (FTTC) for offshore wind turbine (OWT) described via Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) multiple models. The FTTC strategy is designed in such way that aims to maintain nominal wind turbine controller without any change in both fault and fault-free cases. This is achieved by inserting T–S proportional state estimators augmented with proportional and integral feedback (PPI) fault estimators to be capable to estimate different generators and rotor speed sensors fault for compensation purposes. Due to the dependency of the FTTC strategy on the fault estimation the designed observer has the capability to estimate a wide range of time varying fault signals. Moreover, the robustness of the observer against the difference between the anemometer wind speed measurement and the immeasurable effective wind speed signal has been taken into account. The corrected measurements fed to a T–S fuzzy dynamic output feedback controller (TSDOFC) designed to track the desired trajectory. The stability proof with H∞ performance and D-stability constraints is formulated as a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) problem. The strategy is illustrated using a non-linear benchmark system model of a wind turbine offered within a competition led by the companies Mathworks and KK-Electronic
An exact minimum variance filter for a class of discrete time systems with random parameter perturbations
An exact, closed-form minimum variance filter is designed for a class of discrete time uncertain systems which allows for both multiplicative and additive noise sources. The multiplicative noise model includes a popular class of models (Cox-Ingersoll-Ross type models) in econometrics. The parameters of the system under consideration which describe the state transition are assumed to be subject to stochastic uncertainties. The problem addressed is the design of a filter that minimizes the trace of the estimation error variance. Sensitivity of the new filter to the size of parameter uncertainty, in terms of the variance of parameter perturbations, is also considered. We refer to the new filter as the 'perturbed Kalman filter' (PKF) since it reduces to the traditional (or unperturbed) Kalman filter as the size of stochastic perturbation approaches zero. We also consider a related approximate filtering heuristic for univariate time series and we refer to filter based on this heuristic as approximate perturbed Kalman filter (APKF). We test the performance of our new filters on three simulated numerical examples and compare the results with unperturbed Kalman filter that ignores the uncertainty in the transition equation. Through numerical examples, PKF and APKF are shown to outperform the traditional (or unperturbed) Kalman filter in terms of the size of the estimation error when stochastic uncertainties are present, even when the size of stochastic uncertainty is inaccurately identified
