Abstract

The deregulation of the power system and the incorporation of renewable energy sources necessitate faster state estimation in the smart grid. Distributed state estimation (DSE) has become a promising and scalable solution to this urgent demand. To facilitate DSE, regionalization is a necessary step that partitions the entire network into smaller regions so that state estimation can be performed in a distributed manner. In this talk, we introduce automatic regionalization algorithms for power systems as well as various DSE algorithms for transmission and distribution systems.
