Power system dynamic state estimation (DSE) remains an active research area. This is driven by the absence of accurate models, the increasing availability of fast-sampled, time-synchronized measurements, and the advances in the capability, scalability, and affordability of computing and communications. This paper discusses the advantages of DSE as compared to static state estimation, and the implementation differences between the two, including the measurement configuration, modeling framework and support software features. The important roles of DSE are discussed from modeling, monitoring and operation aspects for todays synchronous machine dominated systems and the future power electronics-interfaced generation systems. Several examples are presented to demonstrate the benefits of DSE on enhancing the operational robustness and resilience of 21st century power system through time critical applications. Future research directions are identified and discussed, paving the way for developing the next generation of energy management systems.

The operation of power grids is becoming increasingly data-centric. While the abundance of data could improve the efficiency of the system, it poses major reliability challenges. In particular, state estimation aims to learn the behavior of the network from data but an undetected attack on this problem could lead to a large-scale blackout. Nevertheless, understanding vulnerability of state estimation against cyber attacks has been hindered by the lack of tools studying the topological and data-analytic aspects of the network. Algorithmic robustness is of critical need to extract reliable information from abundant but untrusted grid data. We propose a robust state estimation framework that leverages network sparsity and data abundance. For a large-scale power grid, we quantify, analyze, and visualize the regions of the network prone to cyber attacks. We also propose an optimization-based graphical boundary defense mechanism to identify the border of the geographical area whose data has been manipulated. The proposed method does not allow a local attack to have a global effect on the data analysis of the entire network, which enhances the situational awareness of the grid especially in the face of adversity. The developed mathematical framework reveals key geometric and algebraic factors that can affect algorithmic robustness and is used to study the vulnerability of the U.S. power grid in this paper.
Recent advances in power system State Estimation (SE) have included equivalent circuit models for representing measurement data that allows incorporation of both PMU and RTU measurements within the state estimator. In this paper, we introduce a probabilistic framework with a new RTU model that renders the complete SE problem linear while not affecting its accuracy. It is demonstrated that the probabilistic state of a system can be efficiently and accurately estimated not only with the uncertainties from the measurement data, but also while including variations from transmission network models. To demonstrate accuracy and scalability we present probabilistic state estimation results for the 82k test case that represents the transmission level grid of the entire USA. It is shown that the estimated state distributions include the true grid state, while their mean exactly corresponds to the estimated deterministic state obtained from the nonlinear state estimator.
Power system state estimation is heavily subjected to measurement error, which comes from the noise of measuring instruments, communication noise, and some unclear randomness. Traditional weighted least square (WLS), as the most universal state estimation method, attempts to minimize the residual between measurements and the estimation of measured variables, but it is unable to handle the measurement error. To solve this problem, based on random matrix theory, this paper proposes a data-driven approach to clean measurement error in matrix-level. Our method significantly reduces the negative effect of measurement error, and conducts a two-stage state estimation scheme combined with WLS. In this method, a Hermitian matrix is constructed to establish an invertible relationship between the eigenvalues of measurements and their covariance matrix. Random matrix tools, combined with an optimization scheme, are used to clean measurement error by shrinking the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix. With great robustness and generality, our approach is particularly suitable for large interconnected power grids. Our method has been numerically evaluated using different testing systems, multiple models of measured noise and matrix size ratios.
The integration of renewables into electrical grids calls for optimization-based control schemes requiring reliable grid models. Classically, parameter estimation and optimization-based control is often decoupled, which leads to high system operation cost in the estimation procedure. The present work proposes a method for simultaneously minimizing grid operation cost and optimally estimating line parameters based on methods for the optimal design of experiments. This method leads to a substantial reduction in cost for optimal estimation and in higher accuracy in the parameters compared with standard Optimal Power Flow and maximum-likelihood estimation. We illustrate the performance of the proposed method on a benchmark system.
An equivalent circuit formulation for power system analysis was demonstrated to improve robustness of Power Flow and enable more generalized modeling, including that for RTUs (Remote Terminal Units) and PMUs (Phasor Measurement Units). These measurement device models, together with an adjoint circuit based optimization framework, enable an alternative formulation to Power System State Estimation (SE) that can be solved within the equivalent circuit formulation. In this paper, we utilize a linear RTU model to create a fully linear SE algorithm that includes PMU and RTU measurements to enable a probabilistic approach to SE. Results demonstrate that this is a practical approach that is well suited for real-world applications.
