Recent Development in Power System Dynamic State Estimation

ue to the expansion of power systems there is a challenge of real time monitoring and control by placing important parameters at various points for efficient functioning of the power system. There can be drastic changes during hourly load fluctuations, component outages, or network switching. In such conditions, the inclusion of predicted values could degrade the power system state estimation hence the need of state estimation is must. Synchronized Phasor Measurement Units (PMU) are being placed along with the GPS (global positioning system) to enhance the monitoring of the power system. It depends on the measurement numbers, types and locations. This paper aims to present the main categories for PMUs placement strategies which considers main factors that required for enhancing the performance of a state estimation process such as reliability, accuracy and the special requirements of the modern distribution grid.
