A modified Chi-Squares test for improved bad data detection

2015-07-02
Current state estimators employ the Weighted Least Squares (WLS) estimator to solve the state estimation problem. Once the state estimates are obtained, Chi-Square test is commonly used to detect the presence of bad data in the measurement sets. Regretfully, this test is not entirely reliable, that is, bad data existing in the measurement set could be missed for certain cases. One reason for this is the approximations used to compute the bad data suspicion threshold, which is set based on an assumed chi-squares distribution for the objective function. In this paper, a modified metric is proposed in order to improve the bad data detection accuracy of the commonly used chi-square test. The bad data detection performance of the proposed test is compared with that of conventional chi-square test.

A GENERALIZED CORRELATED RANDOM WALK APPROXIMATION TO FRACTIONAL BROWNIAN MOTION
Vardar Acar, Ceren (null; 2018-04-30)
In this study, we mainly propose an algorithm to generate correlated random walk converging to fractional Brownian motion, with Hurst parameter, H∈ [1/2,1]. The increments of this random walk are simulated from Bernoulli distribution with proportion p, whose density is constructed using the link between correlation of multivariate Gaussian random variables and correlation of their dichotomized binary variables. We prove that the normalized sum of trajectories of this proposed random walk yields a Gaussian p...
A 2-D unsteady Navier-Stokes solution method with overlapping/overset moving grids
Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (1996-01-01)
A simple, robust numerical algorithm to localize intergrid boundary points and to interpolate unsteady solution variables across 2-D, overset/overlapping, structured computational grids is presented. Overset/ overlapping grids are allowed to move in time relative to each other. The intergrid boundary points are localized in terms of three grid points on the donor grid by a directional search algorithm. The final parameters of the search algorithm give the interpolation weights at the interpolation point. Th...
A stagnation-aware cooperative parallel breakout local search algorithm for the quadratic assignment problem
Aksan, Yagmur; Dokeroglu, Tansel; Coşar, Ahmet (2017-01-01)
The Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP) is one of the most challenging NP-Hard combinatorial optimization problems. Circuit-layout design, transportation/traffic engineering, and assigning gates to airplanes are some of the interesting applications of the QAP. In this study, we introduce an enhanced version of a recent local search heuristic, Breakout Local Search Algorithm (BLS), by using the Levenshtein Distance metric for checking the similarity of the new starting points to previously explored QAP permut...
A Hybrid State Estimator For Systems With Limited Number of PMUs
Göl, Murat (2015-05-01)
This paper is concerned about effective incorporation of a limited number of phasor measurement unit (PMU) measurements into the state estimation solution in order to enhance the state tracking accuracy and speed. This is particularly important for fast changing system conditions when rapid control action may be necessary based on the onset of voltage instability due to an unexpected event. Under such conditions, SCADA-based state estimators may be too slow in capturing the changes in system state due to th...

The quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is one of the most challenging NP-Hard combinatorial optimization problems with its several real life applications. Layout design, scheduling, and assigning gates to planes at an airport are some of the interesting applications of the QAP. In this thesis, we improve the talents of a recent local search heuristic Breakout Local Search Algorithm (BLS) by using adapted Levenshtein Distance metric for similarity checking of the previously explored permutations of the QAP p...
