A Two-Step Distribution System State Estimator with Grid Constraints and Mixed Measurements

Miguel Picallo Cruz, Adolfo Anta, Ara Panosyan et al.

In this work we study the problem of State Estimation(SE) in large-scale, 3-phase coupled, unbalanced distribution systems. More specifically, we address the problem of including mixed real-time measurements, synchronized and unsynchronized, from phasor measurement units and smart meters, into existing solutions. We propose a computationally efficient two-step method to update a prior solution using the measurements, while taking into account physical constraint caused by buses with no loads. We test the method on a benchmark test feeder to illustrate the effectiveness of the approach.
