A Framework for Phasor Measurement Placement in Hybrid State Estimation via Gauss-Newton
In this paper, we study the placement of Phasor Measurement Units (PMU) for
enhancing hybrid state estimation via the traditional Gauss-Newton method,
which uses measurements from both PMU devices and Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA) systems. To compare the impact of PMU placements, we
introduce a useful metric which accounts for three important requirements in
power system state estimation: {\it convergence}, {\it observability} and {\it
performance} (COP). Our COP metric can be used to evaluate the estimation
performance and numerical stability of the state estimator, which is later used
to optimize the PMU locations. In particular, we cast the optimal placement
problem in a unified formulation as a semi-definite program (SDP) with integer
variables and constraints that guarantee observability in case of measurements
loss. Last but not least, we propose a relaxation scheme of the original
integer-constrained SDP with randomization techniques, which closely
approximates the optimum deployment. Simulations of the IEEE-30 and 118 systems
corroborate our analysis, showing that the proposed scheme improves the
convergence of the state estimator, while maintaining optimal asymptotic
performance.Comment: accepted to IEEE Trans. on Power System
Robust Matrix Completion State Estimation in Distribution Systems
Due to the insufficient measurements in the distribution system state
estimation (DSSE), full observability and redundant measurements are difficult
to achieve without using the pseudo measurements. The matrix completion state
estimation (MCSE) combines the matrix completion and power system model to
estimate voltage by exploring the low-rank characteristics of the matrix. This
paper proposes a robust matrix completion state estimation (RMCSE) to estimate
the voltage in a distribution system under a low-observability condition.
Tradition state estimation weighted least squares (WLS) method requires full
observability to calculate the states and needs redundant measurements to
proceed a bad data detection. The proposed method improves the robustness of
the MCSE to bad data by minimizing the rank of the matrix and measurements
residual with different weights. It can estimate the system state in a
low-observability system and has robust estimates without the bad data
detection process in the face of multiple bad data. The method is numerically
evaluated on the IEEE 33-node radial distribution system. The estimation
performance and robustness of RMCSE are compared with the WLS with the largest
normalized residual bad data identification (WLS-LNR), and the MCSE
A Backend Framework for the Efficient Management of Power System Measurements
Increased adoption and deployment of phasor measurement units (PMU) has
provided valuable fine-grained data over the grid. Analysis over these data can
provide insight into the health of the grid, thereby improving control over
operations. Realizing this data-driven control, however, requires validating,
processing and storing massive amounts of PMU data. This paper describes a PMU
data management system that supports input from multiple PMU data streams,
features an event-detection algorithm, and provides an efficient method for
retrieving archival data. The event-detection algorithm rapidly correlates
multiple PMU data streams, providing details on events occurring within the
power system. The event-detection algorithm feeds into a visualization
component, allowing operators to recognize events as they occur. The indexing
and data retrieval mechanism facilitates fast access to archived PMU data.
Using this method, we achieved over 30x speedup for queries with high
selectivity. With the development of these two components, we have developed a
system that allows efficient analysis of multiple time-aligned PMU data
streams.Comment: Published in Electric Power Systems Research (2016), not available
