-  Power system state estimation is a central component in energy management systems of power system. The goal of state estimation is to determine the system status and power flow of transmission lines. This paper presents an advanced state estimation algorithm based on weighted least square (WLS) criteria by introducing virtual meters. For each bus of network, except slack bus, a virtual meter...

State estimation is used in power systems to estimate grid variables based on meter measurements. Unfortunately, power grids are vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Reducing cyber-attacks against state estimation is necessary to ensure power system safe and reliable operation. False data injection (FDI) is a type of cyber-attack that tampers with measurements. This paper proposes network reconfigurati...

Power system state estimation is a process to find the bus voltage magnitudes and phase angles at every bus based on a given measurement set. The state estimation convergency is related to the sufficiency of the measurement set. Observability analysis actually tests this kind of problem and guarantees the state estimation accuracy. A new and useful algorithm is proposed and applied in this pape...

state estimation is the foundation of any control and decision making in power networks. the first requirement for a secure network is a precise and safe state estimator in order to make decisions based on accurate knowledge of the network status. this paper introduces a new estimator which is able to detect bad data with few calculations without need for repetitions and estimation residual cal...

In this paper principles of extended Kalman filtering theory is developed and applied to simulated on-line electric power systems state estimation in order to trace the operating condition changes through the redundant and noisy measurements. Test results on IEEE 14 - bus test system are included. Three case systems are tried; through the comparing of their results, it is concluded that the pro...

This paper proposes the stochastic tabu search (STS) for improving the measurement scheme for power system state estimation. If the original measured scheme is not observable, the additional measurements with minimum number of measurements are added into the system by STS so that there is no critical measurement pair. The random bit flipping and bit exchanging perturbations are used for generat...
