Title: Linear Distribution System State Estimation Using Synchrophasor Data and Pseudo-Measurement

Conference · · 2019 International Conference on Smart Grid Synchronized Measurements and Analytics (SGSMA)

State estimation is often a challenging task in distribution systems due to deploying a limited number of measurement devices. Moreover, the integration of precise distributionlevel phasor measurement unites, a.k.a micro-PMUs, along with inaccurate pseudo-measurements in state estimation introduces another challenge. These issues might decrease the efficiency of traditional standard weighted least squares (WLS) for distribution system state estimation. This paper proposes a novel linear distribution system state estimation with taken different types of measurements, including micro-PMU measurements and line current measurements, into account. To involve pseudomeasurements into the linear state estimation, a linearization method based on the Taylor’s approximation is adopted to reformulate pseudo-measurement functions in a linear form. The results obtained via numerical simulations show that the proposed linear state estimation method performs similarly to the standard nonlinear WLS estimator. In addition, the sensitivity analyses results show that our method has a better performance compared to WLS once a limited number of highly precise micro-PMUs are accompanied with inaccurate pseudo-measurements in state estimation.
