In this paper, a new formulation for power system state estimation is proposed. The formulation is based on regularized least squares method which uses the principle of Thikonov’s regularization to overcome the limitations of conventional state estimation methods. In this approach, the mathematical unfeasibility which results from the lack of measurements in case of ill-posed problems is elimin...

Techniques in the family of weighted residual methods; the orthogonal collocation, Galerkin, tau, and least-squares methods, are adopted to solve a non-linear and highly coupled pellet problem. Based on a residual measure and problem matrix condition numbers, the Galerkin and tau methods are favorable solution techniques for the pellet equations. On the other hand, the orthogonal collocation is...
