Abstract:

The objective of the proposed research is to develop an object-oriented distributed quasi-dynamic state estimator that constantly monitors the states of the distribution system and provides the validated data to distribution management system. The objective has been achieved by the development of such an approach which is based on the following contributions: (1) development of an object-oriented quasi-dynamic domain three-phase detailed device modeling approach so that all the devices in the distribution system are expressed in a unified syntax; (2) development of an object-oriented network-level measurement model creation procedure by given device models and measurements in this network; (3) development of an object-oriented quasi-dynamic state estimation with the given network-level measurement model.
