Linear Distribution System State Estimation with Integration of DG

Abstract

Monitoring of a power system is essential for maintaining it in a secure operating condition. Electric distribution management system (DMS) should possess a monitoring mechanism addressing the entire operating conditions of the system. Distribution System State Estimation (DSSE) is an integral building block of the DMS. Because of new technologies integrated into the power distribution system, new opportunities, problems and challenges related to control and management are being explored. To make efficient and reliable control actions, an accurate knowledge of the system states is required. This paper presents Linear State Estimator based DSSE which can handle the challenges mentioned above. The estimator studied and reported in the paper allows to include synchronized phasor measurements provided by Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). With the increasing integration of DG in distribution system, the state estimation scheme needs be reworked to address the complexities introduced by power exchange of DG. To address this, Linear State Estimation (LSE) is reformulated and its performance is analysed with DG integrated in the sample network under study.

Bibliometric study of distribution system state estimation: advances and challenges

“…While a sensitivity analysis of the DSSE with respect to phase mislabeling of single-phase service transformers is presented in Trevizan et al [95]. In Bindu et al [96] a methodology for using DSSE in DG interconnected distribution network is proposed which, in turn, depends on the minimization of system losses. In [97], a centralized selfhealing scheme employing a three-phase state estimator with a short-term load forecasting method and a fault location algorithm for service restoration is designed and simulated.…”
