Dynamic Power Network State Estimation with Asynchronous Measurements The operation of distribution networks is becoming increasingly volatile, due to fast variations of renewables and, hence, netloading conditions. To perform a reliable state estimation under these conditions, this paper considers the case where measurements from meters, phasor measurement units, and distributed energy resources are collected and processed in real time to produce estimates of the state at a fast time scale. Streams of measurements collected in real time and at heterogenous rates render the underlying processing asynchronous, and poses severe strains on workhorse state estimation algorithms. In this work, a realtime state estimation algorithm is proposed, where data are processed on the fly. Starting from a regularized leastsquares model, and leveraging appropriate linear models, the proposed scheme boils down to a linear dynamical system where the state is updated based on the previous estimate and on the measurement gathered from a few available sensors. The estimation error is shown to be always bounded under mild condition. Numerical simulations are provided to corroborate the analytical findings.

Power System Dynamic State Estimation Using Smooth Variable Structure Filter With the integration of distributed energy resources (DER) traditional power systems evolved toward modernized smart grids. Although smart grids open up the possibility for more reliable and secure energy management, they impose new challenges on realtime monitoring and control of the power grid. State estimation is a key function which plays a vital role in reliable system control. In this paper, the smooth variable structure filter (SVSF) is used for power system dynamic state estimation (DSE). SVSF is a predictorcorrector based approach which can be applied to both linear and nonlinear system with the ability to deal with the system uncertainties. The simulation results on a single machine with infinite bus power network shows the superiority of the proposed SVSF compared to extended Kalman filter (EKF) and unscented Kalman filter (UKF). The results of the proposed method show a significant smoothness and accuracy in its performance compared to those obtained from EKF and UKF approaches; in particular, in the presence of measurement outliers.
