PMU based robust state estimation using scaling

2012-09-11
State estimation problem is commonly solved by the weighted least squares (WLS) method, which is known to be non-robust, i.e. it fails in the presence of a single bad measurement. A more robust alternative is the least absolute value (LAV) estimator which can automatically reject bad-data in the absence of the so called leverage measurements. When using only measurements provided by phasor measurement units (PMU), it can be shown that leverage measurements can be eliminated easily by strategic scaling. Hence, in this paper it is argued that when using PMU measurements, LAV estimator will provide a robust alternative to the WLS.

Binary integer programming based PMU placement in the presence of conventional measurements
Ertürk, Bulut; Göl, Murat (2016-10-12)
This paper proposes an optimal Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) placement method based on a modified version of the well-known binary integer linear programming formulation, which will utilize the installed PMUs and conventional measurements, i.e. active and reactive power flow and power injection measurements, to reduce the number of PMUs to be placed required for system observability. The proposed method applies conventional observability analysis to evaluate the system of concern and to reduce the size of t...
Observability and Criticality Analyses for Power Systems Measured by Phasor Measurements
Göl, Murat (2013-08-01)
This paper proposes observability and measurement criticality analysis methods for any type of current phasor measurement configurations. Measurement Jacobian cannot be decoupled when using current phasor measurements and thus conventional methods of network observability analysis can no longer be used. Current phasor measurements may be classified into two types based on their configuration. Depending on whether there is a voltage phasor measurement at the sending end of the measured line or not, a current...
Expectation propagation for state estimation with discrete-valued hidden random variables
Sarıtaş, Elif; Orguner, Umut; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2023-2-21)
In this thesis, the expectation propagation (EP) approach of Minka is considered for the estimation problems in dynamical systems with discrete hidden random variables where optimal posteriors are usually intractable. The concept of context adjustment is introduced to avoid/alleviate indefinite covariance problems encountered in standard EP implementations in a systematic way. Additionally, the moment projection (Mprojection) problem involving pseudo-Gaussian likelihoods as factors is solved to be used in t...
Applications of estimation techniques on genetic and other types of data
Aslan, Murat; Akkaya, Ayşen; Department of Statistics (2003)
The parameters of genetic and other types of data, particularly with small samples, are estimated by using method of moments, least squares, minimum chi- square, maximum likelihood and modified maximum likelihood estimation methods. These methods are also compared in terms of their efficiencies and robustness property.
Marginalized particle filters for Bayesian estimation of Gaussian noise parameters
Zhao, Yuxin; Yin, Feng; Gunnarsson, Fredrik; Amirijoo, Mehdi; Özkan, Emre; Gustafsson, Fredrik (2010-07-26)
The particle filter provides a general solution to the nonlinear filtering problem with arbitrarily accuracy. However, the curse of dimensionality prevents its application in cases where the state dimensionality is high. Further, estimation of stationary parameters is a known challenge in a particle filter framework. We suggest a marginalization approach for the case of unknown noise distribution parameters that avoid both aforementioned problem. First, the standard approach of augmenting the state vector w...
