Advanced Monitoring for Power Systems

  Power System -> State Estimation -> Control Center Copyright: © ACS  

Modern power systems increasingly need advanced tools for their real-time management, control and automation. The first step to implement these advanced functionalities is to have the accurate knowledge of the grid operating conditions. Real-time monitoring is commonly adopted to this purpose within the control centers of power systems. Monitoring tools are usually based on specific state estimation techniques, which allow integrating redundant measurements, filtering out measurement errors and providing the most likely picture of the grid operating conditions based on the available input information.

The course Advanced Monitoring for Power System is intended to provide the students the basics about state estimation theory and to present the most common approaches adopted as state-of-the-art solutions for the monitoring of power systems. Together with the classical techniques implemented in transmission systems, an overview of challenges and solutions for the deployment of state estimation at the distribution level is also provided. In addition, different options and architectural schemes for the implementation of distributed state estimation approaches are discussed, while the final part of the course deals with the models for dynamic state estimation using the Kalman filter theory.

  • State Estimation in Transmission Systems
