Title
SDP-based State Estimation of Multi-phase Active Distribution Networks using micro-PMUs.
Abstract
Distribution system state estimation (DSSE) is an essential tool for operation of distribution networks, the results of which enables the operator to have a thorough observation of the system. Thus, most distribution management systems (DMS) include a single-phase state estimator. Due to non-convexity of the SE problem, heuristic and Newton methods do not guarantee the global solution. In contrast, SDP based SE is more promising to guarantee the globally optimal solution since it represents and solves the problem in a convex format. However, the observability of the power system is highly vulnerable to the set of measurements while employing the SDP-based SE, which is addressed in this report. An algorithm is proposed to generate additional measurements using the measurement data already gathered. The SDP-based SE is very sensitive to the level of noise in large power networks. Also, bad data detection algorithms proposed for Newton methods do not work for the SDP-based SE method due to larger number of state variables in SDP representation of power network. In this report, an algorithm is proposed to generate additional measurements using the measurement data already gathered in order to solve the observability issue. A network separation algorithm is developed to solve the entire problem for smaller sub-networks which include micro-PMUs to mitigate the adverse effects of noise for huge networks. An algorithm based on redundancy test is also developed for bad data detection. The algorithms are tested on single phase and multiphase test systems. The algorithms are applied EPRI Circuit 5 (2998-bus) test feeder to demonstrate the flexibility of the algorithms developed.
