Avoiding Divergence of State Estimators in Large Power Grids

Description

This lecture by Prof. Ali Abur discusses the challenges of state estimation in large power grids, focusing on avoiding complete divergence of state estimators. The presentation covers the state estimation problem, errors leading to convergence failure, previous work on convergence, leveraging earlier work on multi-area state estimation, and the use of recursive partitioning to address divergence. The lecture concludes with a summary of the developed software's capabilities and testing results using IEEE test systems and real utility system cases.

Electric power transmission

Electric power transmission is the bulk movement of electrical energy from a generating site, such as a power plant, to an electrical substation. The interconnected lines that facilitate this movement form a transmission network. This is distinct from the local wiring between high-voltage substations and customers, which is typically referred to as electric power distribution. The combined transmission and distribution network is part of electricity delivery, known as the electrical grid.

Power transmission

Power transmission is the movement of energy from its place of generation to a location where it is applied to perform useful work. Power is defined formally as units of energy per unit time. In SI units: Since the development of technology, transmission and storage systems have been of immense interest to technologists and technology users. Electric power transmission With the widespread establishment of electrical grids, power transmission is usually associated most with electric power transmission.

Electrical grid

An electrical grid is an interconnected network for electricity delivery from producers to consumers. Electrical grids vary in size and can cover whole countries or continents. It consists of: power stations: often located near energy and away from heavily populated areas electrical substations to step voltage up or down electric power transmission to carry power long distances electric power distribution to individual customers, where voltage is stepped down again to the required service voltage(s).

Smart grid

A smart grid is an electrical grid which includes a variety of operation and energy measures including: Advanced metering infrastructure (of which smart meters are a generic name for any utility side device even if it is more capable e.g. a fiber optic router) Smart distribution boards and circuit breakers integrated with home control and demand response (behind the meter from a utility perspective) Load control switches and smart appliances, often financed by efficiency gains on municipal programs (e.g.
