WLAV state estimation for power system containing multitype FACTS devices

Abstract

This paper presents the state estimation of power system in which not only the bus voltages but also the states of the flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) are considered as the state variables. By using the rectangular form of state variables and equivalent measurement techniques, a linear measurement model with constraints of FACTS device is obtained. The predictor-corrector interior point method based on the weighted least absolute value criterion is developed for solving the optimization problem. Simulation results on the modified IEEE 14-bus and 118-bus test systems are provided. The numerical results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. © 2013 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
