A New Hybrid State Estimation Considering Different Accuracy Levels of PMU and SCADA Measurements

This paper proposes a new hybrid state estimation (SE) model where the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and phasor measurement unit (PMU) measurements are decoupled. The proposed hybrid SE can effectively handle different accuracy levels of PMU and SCADA measurements which is a problem for conventional hybrid SEs due to increasing the condition number of SE gain matrix. In addition, the proposed hybrid SE model is fully compatible with PMU measurements, particularly current measurements, which increase the complexity of conventional hybrid SE formulation. The proposed hybrid SE model is tested on the IEEE 118-bus test system as well as on the real-world Iran's power system. Moreover, the proposed hybrid SE is compared with conventional hybrid SE using a large number of scenarios modeling uncertain telemetry noises. The comparative results illustrate better performance of the proposed hybrid SE than conventional hybrid SE in terms of the gain matrix condition number, SE run time, and SE accuracy.
