A SYNCHROPHASOR ASSISTED HYBRID STATE ESTIMATOR

Vedran Kirincic – Srdjan Skok – Dubravko Frankovic

   The paper presents a Synchrophasor Assisted Hybrid State Estimator that utilizes the conventional SCADA measurements and the synchrophasors obtained from Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). To take advantage of the high sampling frequency of the multiple sets of synchrophasors they are preprocessed in a recursive algorithm that provides the state estimate for the power system part observable by PMUs. The results are forwarded to an iterative procedure in which they are combined with SCADA measurements. The given solution was applied on the IEEE test systems with 14, 30 and 57 buses and its performance was compared with other state estimators. The filtering of measurement errors and convergence, while providing improved accuracy of the final state estimates of the developed methodology can be compared with other hybrid state estimators.
