Abstract

This project was proposed with the objective to implement a computational tool to estimate the state (nodal complex voltages) of an electrical power system and apply alternative methods for the processing of topological errors, network parameter errors and/or measurements bad data based on the geometrical approach of the errors and on the innovation concept of the measurements. The methodology applied to solve the state estimation problem is the Weighted Least Squares (WLS). Through the geometrical approach, [1-4] have shown mathematically that the measurement error is composed of detectable and undetectable components and that the methods applied heretofore for processing errors consider only detectable component of the error and, consequently, may fail. In an attempt to circumvent this limitation, and based on the papers mentioned below, an alternative approach will be studied and implemented to process such errors. This approach is based on the analysis of the components of the measurements errors, as shown in [4] and [5]. Firstly, the software tests if the set of measurements has errors using, for this purpose, the value of the composed measurement error (CMEN). Then, it differs which type of error, or more than one type of error, has occurred. The correction to be made in the line parameter, or in the measurement with gross errors, is the corresponding composed normalized error (CNE). The proposed approach in this project requires only a set of measurements of a single "snapshot". To validate the software, several simulations, with different error scenarios, will be performed in the IEEE 14-bus and 57-bus systems. (AU)
