A branch-current-based three-phase state estimation (SE) method is proposed for distribution systems. The method is tailored for distribution feeders with a few loops. The method is computationally more efficient than the conventional node-voltage-based SE methods. To further improve the computational efficiency it is shown that distribution systems can be reduced without much loss of accuracy in SE.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
