ROBUST STATE ESTIMATION BASED ON PROJECTION STATISTICS (VOL 11, PG 216, 1996)

This paper describes a fast and robust method for identifying the leve rage points of a linearized power system state estimation model. These are measurements whose projections on the space spanned by the row ve ctors of the weighted Jacobian matrix, the so-called factor space, do not follow the pattern of the bulk of the point cloud. In other words, their projections are outliers in the factor space. The proposed meth od is implemented through a new version of the projection algorithm th at accounts for the sparsity of the Jacobian matrix. It assigns to eac h data point a projection statistic defined as the maximum of the stan dardized projections of the point cloud on some directions passing thr ough the origin. Based on these projection statistics, a robustly weig hted Schweppe-type GM-estimator is defined, which can be computed by a reweighted least squares algorithm, The computational efficiency and the robustness of the method are demonstrated on the IEEE-14 bus and t he 118-bus systems.
