State estimation for integrated multi-terminal DC/AC systems

Journal Article · · IEEE Trans. Power Appar. Syst.; (United States)

In the past few years, many papers have been published on state estimation applied to electric power systems. Different types of algorithms - static, tracking and dynamic-have been proposed aside with a variety of applications: detection and identification of bad data, network configurator, etc. Most of such studies have been carried out for AC systems, although there are some power systems around the world with DC links in operation. Moreover, engineers are now considering DC multiterminal networks as a feasible option. Therefore the state estimation techniques have to be extended to deal with such mixed AC/DC systems. So far, few papers have been published on this matter. This paper describes a new, simple and efficient method for the static state estimation of integrated HVDC/AC systems. Basically, the estimation process is carried out independently for the AC and DC networks, and then for the AC/DC interconnection system. Owing to the characteristics of the proposed method, it can be coupled to any existing AC state estimation algorithm. The proposed algorithm is applied to an integrated multiterminal DC/AC test system and the results are discussed.
