Observability and detectability analyses are often used to guide the measurement setup and select the estimation models used in dynamic state estimation (DSE). Yet, marginally observable states of a synchronous machine prevent the direct application of conventional observability and detectability analyses in determining the existence of a DSE observer. To address this issue, the authors propose to identify the marginally observable states and their associate eigenvalues by finding the smallest perturbation matrices that make the system unobservable. The proposed method extends the observability and detectability analyses to marginally observable estimation models, often encountered in the DSE of a synchronous machine. The effectiveness and application of the proposed method are illustrated on the IEEE 10-machine 39-bus system, verified using the unscented Kalman filter and the extended Kalman filter, and compared with conventional methods. The proposed analysis method can be applied to guide the selection of estimation models and measurements to determine the existence of a DSE observer in power-system planning.

A Derivative-Free Observability Analysis Method of Stochastic Power Systems
The observability analysis of a time-varying nonlinear dynamic model has recently attracted the attention of power engineers due to its vital role in power system dynamic state estimation. Generally speaking, due to the nonlinearity of the power system dynamic model, the traditional derivative-based observability analysis approaches either rely on the linear approximation to simplify the problem or require a complicated derivation procedure that ignores the uncertainties of the dynamic system model and of the observations represented by stochastic noises. Facing this challenge, we propose a novel polynomial-chaos-based derivative-free observability analysis approach that not only brings a low complexity, but also enables us to quantify the degree of observability by considering the stochastic nature of the dynamic systems. The excellent performances of the proposed method is demonstrated using simulations of a decentralized dynamic state estimation performed on a power system using a synchronous generator model with IEEE-DC1A exciter and a TGOV1 turbine-governor.

null (Ed.)In the modern power system networks, grid observability has greatly increased due to the deployment of various metering technologies. Such technologies enhanced the real-time monitoring of the grid. The collection of observations are processed by the state estimator in which many applications have relied on. Traditionally, state estimation on power grids has been done considering a centralized architecture. With grid deregulation, and awareness of information privacy and security, much attention has been given to multi-area state estimation. Considering such, state-of-the-art solutions consider a weighted norm of residual measurement model, which might hinder masked gross errors contained in the null-space of the Jacobian matrix. Towards the solution of this, a distributed innovation-based model is presented. Measurement innovation is used towards error composition. The measurement error is an independent random variable, where the residual is not. Thus, the masked component is recovered through measurement innovation. Model solution is obtained through an Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM), which requires minimal information communication. The presented framework is validated using the IEEE 14 and IEEE 118 bus systems. Easy-to-implement model, build-on the classical weighted norm of the residual solution, and without hard-to-design parameters highlight potential aspects towards real-life implementation.more » « less

In this letter, we extend the sensitivity-based rank condition (SERC) test for local observability to another class of systems, namely smooth and nonsmooth differential-algebraic equation (DAE) systems of index-1. The newly introduced test for DAEs, which we call the lexicographic SERC (L-SERC) observability test, utilizes the theory of lexicographic differentiation to compute sensitivity information. Moreover, the newly introduced L-SERC observability test can judges which states are observable and which are not. Additionally, we introduce a novel sensitivity-based extended Kalman filter (S-EKF) algorithm for state estimation, applicable to both smooth and nonsmooth DAE systems. Finally, we apply the newly developed S-EKF to estimate the states of a wind turbine power system model.more » « less

In this paper, we provide a novel framework that enables a sensitivity-based observability test and state estimation algorithm for wind turbine power systems (WTPSs). The provided framework is the first of its kind in the literature, as it is able to deal with state-of-the-art WTPS models that are non-reduced, highly nonlinear differential–algebraic equation systems. Moreover, the framework includes nonsmoothness in both the dynamics and output functions to unify the operational conditions over different wind speed regions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework (thanks to the underlying tools from generalized derivatives theory) on different wind speed profiles, including real-world wind data. We also illustrate how the proposed framework, by the utilization of robust observability analysis during nonsmooth transitions, enables accurate state estimation for cases when the conventional Extended Kalman Filter approach fails.more » « less

We present a novel algorithm for distributed state estimation in power systems, based on graph theory and exchange of information between nodal entities in combination with local nonJacobian based modeling. The bus-based power balance equations are used to generate a successively better estimate based on locally available data only, which is then sent out to adjacent graph vertices, so that information travels even to parts of the network that have fewer data collected. For this reason, full power system observability is not required, and this procedure could be applied even if parts of the system lack needed measurements. To demonstrate the effectiveness and scalability ofthe proposed algorithm, it is applied to both 14-bus and 300-bus test systems.more » « less
