| Abstract | |
The integration of Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices in power grids can enhance operational capabilities. However, such components must be properly incorporated in real-time power system analysis tools, such as State Estimator (SE), for fulfilling their purpose. Despite some good theoretical results, most solutions to including FACTS in SEs make structural changes in the original problem, which may incur lower convergence rate, starting point reliance, divergence, and harmed Gross Errors (GE) processing capabilities. This paper addresses such limitations and provides two solutions to SE in presence of FACTS. The first adds information on those devices' state variables for enhancing SE's convergence and accuracy while allowing GE processing, whereas the second proposes Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) method for avoiding divergence in case those variables are not monitored. The paper also provides simulation results on IEEE 14 and 118 bus test systems, showing the feasibility of the solutions. (AU) | |
