  • Patent number: 8660807
    Abstract: A substation-control center tow-level distributed grid nonlinear state estimation method is provided. RTU measurement data and PMU measurement data at each voltage level in each substation are collected. Performing a first three-phase state estimation is performed to obtain a first estimation result. Bad data from the RTU measurement data and the PMU measurement data are removed to estimate a state of a CB. A new CB island at each voltage level is formed, and a second three-phase state estimation for the new CB island is performed to obtain a final estimation result, in which the new CB island is a bus. The final estimation result is processed to obtain ripe data. And the ripe data, a part of the RTU measurement data and a part of the PMU measurement data are collected and a whole grid state estimation is performed.
