Description
This two-day master class is designed to educate practicing engineers about the requirements of statee stimation as it relates to front-end processing in SCADA and EMS and to examine the formulations and tools on which it is based.
Network modeling methods relating to state-estimation are presented and several different estimation procedures are examined. Practical alternatives in using synchronised phasor measurements in state estimation will be explained. Data errors are examined together with those measures that are available to counter the adverse effects of data errors on the effectiveness of estimation. This masterclass also presents tools for studying network observability as well as topology and parameter error estimation.Special computer-based exercises are prepared to demonstrate state estimation features.
