Newton Raphson based 3-Phase Decoupled DSSE Summary
- Date Created: 2024/01/09
- Organization: ORNL
- Objective: Distribution system state estimation (DSSE) refers to the process of estimating the current conditions of the system’s state, such as voltages and current magnitudes and angles, and power flows, etc. in a distribution system using available field measurements from sensors installed at substations, feeders, and other strategic points in the distribution network. Since the distribution system is inherently unbalanced and three-phase in nature, the traditional state estimation for transmission systems cannot be readily implemented for distribution systems. This DSSE process is essential for monitoring and controlling the unbalanced distribution network. By accurately estimating the system state, operators can detect abnormalities, identify potential issues, and optimize the operation of the distribution grid.
Here, the state estimator federate leverages the Newton-Raphson based state estimation method. The Newton-Raphson based state estimation is a computational technique used to estimate the systems’ state variables. The method is widely employed in transmission system, but for the distribution systems, decoupled three-phase process has been adopted. The method iteratively solves a set of nonlinear equations derived from the power flow equations and measurement equations to determine the unknown state variables. The Newton-Raphson state estimation is known for its efficiency and robustness in handling large-scale power systems.
