1 JOURNAL OF COMPUTERS, VOL. 7, NO. 3, MARCH State Estimation and Power Flow Analysis of Power Systems Jiaxiong Chen University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky U.S.A. Yuan Liao University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky U.S.A. Abstract State estimation and power flow analysis are important tools for analysis, operation and planning of a power system. In this paper, a new state estimation method based on the extended weighted least squares (WLS) method for considering both measurement errors and model inaccuracy is presented. Two bus, three bus, and IEEE 14 bus test cases are employed to evaluate the accuracy of the method. The comparison results show that the extended WLS method may outperform traditional WLS approach when the model is not accurate. In addition, this paper investigates a method based on Z matrix to implement power flow in a transmission system with multiple types of loads (e.g. constant PQ, constant impedance and constant current magnitude loads or mixed loads). The load flow results demonstrate that the method is effective and easy to implement when composite load types exist in the system. Our studies also show that it may be possible that multiple solutions exist for a power flow problem. Index Terms State estimation, Power flow analysis, Weighted least squares method I. INTRODUCTION Weighted least squares (WLS) state estimation (SE) approach has been an important tool for determining the optimal estimate of power system states [1]. The power network model used in the function relating the measurements to the states in WLS SE is implicitly assumed to be exact. However, the real model may contain two types of errors: parametric and nonparametric errors []. Parametric errors are errors that occur in circuit parameters such as the resistance and reactance of the transmission lines. Non-parametric errors could occur when utilizing a DC load flow model instead of a full AC model, or using approximate positive sequence impedance for representing untransposed lines, etc. Various approaches have been proposed to account for inaccuracy in network parameters, for example, by augmenting the state vector with addition of the suspicious parameters and augmenting the Jacobian matrix at the same time, or by utilizing Kalman filtering theory [3]. However, due to limited measurements, these approaches may not always be possible to identify all suspicious parameters or accurately estimate these parameters in order to alleviate non-parametric errors. Various approaches for distinguishing measurement errors from model errors in the context of errors-invariable model are discussed in paper [4]. The author of [5] proposes an approach called extended least squares for estimating parameters of pseudo-linear models. This approach is firstly applied to power system state estimation in paper [] for considering both potential measurement errors and model errors. This paper further investigates its characteristics and evaluates its effectiveness. Both simple power system cases and a larger power system IEEE 14 bus test case are utilized. The power flow study (also known as load-flow study) has been widely applied to power systems for system planning, operating and control. Over the past decades, researchers have made an enormous amount of efforts to develop numerical power flow calculation approaches. The paper in [6] gives a review and comparison of power flow calculation methods, including Y-matrix, Z-matrix, and Newton methods. The authors of [7] develop a method based on Z matrix which converges more reliably than Y-matrix methods. In all the above methods, the type of loads is usually considered as constant PQ load. However, in reality, there are other types of loads, such as constant impedance load, constant current magnitude load, and mixed two and more types of loads. This paper will examine the effectiveness of Z matrix based power flow method to account for multiple types of loads in the transmission system. II. WLS METHODS A. Traditional WLS Method The system measurement equation is as follows [1]: z = h(x) + e (1) where: z is the (m x 1) measurement vector; x is the an (n x 1) state vector to be estimated; h is a vector of nonlinear functions that relate the states to the measurements; and e is an (m x 1) measurement error vector. It is necessary that m n and the Jacobian matrix of h(x) has rank n. doi: /jcp

2 686 JOURNAL OF COMPUTERS, VOL. 7, NO. 3, MARCH 01 The optimal state estimate vector x may be determined by minimizing the sum of weighted squares of residuals Min F(x) = [z h(x)] T R 1 [z h(x)] () where, R is the measurement covariance matrix. () is linearized using the Taylor series expansion, retaining the first two terms and ignoring higher-order terms. This leads to a linear WLS problem having the solution x = (H T R 1 H) 1 H T R 1 z (3) where, H is the Jacobian matrix of h(x). The iterative approach is applied to obtain the state update until the absolute value of the difference of the states between successive iterations is less than the tolerance value ε, typically, ε is set to 1e-4. The function h(x) can be linear or nonlinear. H is a constant matrix (m n) in the case of linear function, and it needs only one iteration to converge. Alternatively, the solution to () can be obtained as follows: III. CASE STUDIES OF STATE ESTIMATION This section presents case studies for evaluating the state estimation methods presented in Section II. A. Case Study Utilizing a Three-Bus System Based on DC Load Flow Model Figure 1 shows a sample system with branch impedances labeled in per unit. The correct value of R 1 is 0.5j, however, for some reason, the model database shows 0.3j. The reason for this mistake might be the model database was not updated accordingly after the series compensation capacitor on the line was switched off. Table 1 gives the measurement data. All the meter readings are in per unit based on 100 MW base. The bus voltage angle δ 1 at bus 1, δ at bus and line flows at meter locations need to be estimated. x = (H T R 1 H) 1 H T R 1 z (4) B. The New Extended WLS Method Let the new state vector be X new = X, with z being z the true value or best estimate of the measurement z. Hence, equation (1) is expanded as follows []. U z = h(x) z + ε (5) z e where, U is the (m 1) zero vector, m is total number of measurements, ε is the (m 1) model mismatch error vector, and e is the (m 1) measurement error vector. Define z new = U z, F new(x new ) = h(x) z, η z new = ε e. Therefore we obtain z new = F new (X new ) + η new (6) The cost function, consisting of weighting matrix W ε due to model mismatches, and weighting matrix W e due to measurement error, is defined as follows []: f(x) = [z h(x)] T W ε [z h(x)] + [z z ] T W e [z z ] (7) It is note that F new (X new ) = H new X new. where, H new = H I, I is an (m m) identity matrix, O I and O is a (m n) zero matrix. Figure 1. A three-bus sample power system TABLE 1. MEASUREMENT DATA FOR SYSTEM IN FIGURE 1 Quantity measured from bus 1 to from bus 1 to 3 from bus 3 to Metering Error Meter point variance reading M M M According to DC state estimation model, power flow equations can be expressed as follows: p 1 = (δ 1 δ )/R 1 (8) p 13 =.5δ 1 (9) p 3 = 5δ (10) where, p 1, p 13 and p 3 represent real power flow from bus 1 to, from bus 1 to 3, and from bus 3 to, respectively. The H new, obtained using 0.5j and 0.3j can be expressed as follows, respectively H new_0.5 = (11)

3 JOURNAL OF COMPUTERS, VOL. 7, NO. 3, MARCH /0.3 1/ H new_0.3 = (1) The error variances for model mismatches are assumed to take the same values in the extended WLS method. Table shows the estimated results by using the correct R 1. The estimated voltage angles are the same for the two methods, while the estimated power flows by the extended WLS method are much closer to the meter readings than the traditional WLS method. The estimated voltage angles and power flows by using the mistaken R 1 are shown in Table 3. The traditional WLS approach results in large errors in the estimate for power flows, while the extended WLS approach achieves more accurate results. TABLE.

Case Study Utilizing a Two-Bus System Based on AC Load Flow Model This section presents a case study based on AC load flow measurement Jacobian H A. Figure shows a twobus sample power system, with branch impedances labeled in per unit. The correct value of the line impedance is 0.4j, however somehow, the data model database shows a value of 0.5j. Figure. A Two-bus Sample Power System TABLE 4. MEASUREMENT DATA FOR SYSTEM IN FIGURE Quantity measured Metering point Error variance Meter reading magnitude at bus 1 M magnitude at bus M from bus 1 to M received at bus M from bus 1 Reactive power from bus 1 to M The states that need to be estimated are voltage magnitudes at bus 1 and bus and voltage angle at bus. Table 4 gives the measurement data in per unit. Based on Figure and Table 4, the system equations can be expressed as follows: h 1 = V 1 (13) h = V (14) h 3 = V 1 V sinδ/r 1 (15) h 4 = V 1 V sinδ/r 1 (16) h 5 = V 1 /R 1 V 1 V cosδ/r 1 (17) where, R 1 is line impedance between bus 1 and. V 1 is voltage magnitude at bus 1. V is voltage magnitude at bus. δ is the voltage angle at bus. Functions h 1, h, h 3, h 4 and h 5 represent the bus 1 voltage magnitude, bus voltage magnitude, real power from bus 1 to measured at bus 1, real power received at bus from bus 1 measured at bus, and reactive power from bus 1 to measured at bus 1, respectively. Table 5 and 6 show the estimation results obtained by using R 1 = 0.4j and R 1 = 0.5j, respectively. The variances for the model mismatches are set to 1e-6, 1e-6, 1e-1, 1e-1 and 1e-1 corresponding to equations (13), (14), (15), (16) and (17), respectively. The results yielded by the extended WLS are much closer to the meter readings than the traditional approach. Table 7 illustrates the effects of the variances of model mismatches on the estimation results by using the incorrect line impedance for different variances. From the last row of the table, it is seen that when the variances are properly chosen, more accurate estimate can be obtained by the extended WLS approach. Note that if the error variances for model mismatches are set to be small enough in both DC and AC load flow based studies, then both approaches will result in the same results.

Case Study Utilizing IEEE 14 Bus System Based on AC Load Flow Model The application of both traditional WLS and the extended WLS approaches for the state estimation of the IEEE 14 bus test case will be presented in this section [8]. Figure 3 shows the test case. Newton Raphson load flow method can be applied to obtain load flow results of the system [9]. The measurement data set chosen from load flow results must satisfy network observability [10]. In the state estimation, the chosen measurement data set for the formulation of state-estimation Jacobian H x are voltage magnitudes, real and reactive power injections, real and reactive power flows [11]. The variances of measurement errors for the above three kinds of measurement data are set to 9e-5, 1e-4 and 64e-6. To simplify the calculation, the variances for model mismatches are all set to 1.0. Two tests are implemented: first, all the branch impedances are correct, the results are shown in Table 8. Second, the branch impedance from bus 4 to bus 7 Z 47 is mistakenly changed to 0.3j, the results are shown in table 9. The true values of voltage magnitude and angle are from Newton Raphson load flow results. To compare the state estimate accuracy of both traditional WLS and the extended WLS approaches, mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) is introduced as follows: Figure 3. IEEE 14 Bus Test case [8] where, A t is the actual value and F t is the calculated value. A smaller value of MAPE indicates a more accurate state estimation result. The MAPE values are shown in the last row of both Tables 8 and 9. As can be seen from Tables 8 and 9, the MAPE values of the extended WLS approach are smaller than those of the traditional WLS approach, indicating that the extended WLS approach can obtain more accurate state estimation results. MAPE = 1 n n A t F t t=1 100% (18) A t

Let bus 1 be designated as the slack bus. The above general set of equations includes the equation for the known slack-bus voltage, which is eliminated by modifying Y and I. The matrix Y is modified by removing the row and column corresponding to the slack bus, and the second to the nth row of matrix I is modified by subtracting from any current element I k the product Y k1 V 1, where Y k1 represents the element of the kth row and first column of matrix Y, and V 1 is the constant slack-bus voltage.

POWER FLOW STUDY IN A SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE TYPES OF LOADS This section presents a power flow method based on Z matrix to implement power flow in the transmission system with multiple types of loads. For a power system where, bus impedance matrix Z is obtained from matrix Y. Then, an iterative technique can be applied to obtain the node voltages. During each iteration, the current injection is calculated using the most recent voltage vector. In the transmission system, the loads are usually considered as constant PQ loads. However, there are other types of loads, such as constant impedance load, constant current magnitude load and mixed two and more types of loads at a bus. The load modeling for the above loads are expressed as follows: For a constant impedance load, the injection current into the bus is determined as [1] I l = V(P b+jq b ) V b (3) where, P b and Q b are nominal real and reactive power of the load, V is the voltage of the bus. V b is the nominal voltage. For a constant PQ load [1], I l = ( P b+jq b ) (4) V For a constant current magnitude load [1],

6 690 JOURNAL OF COMPUTERS, VOL. 7, NO. 3, MARCH 01 I l = P b+jq b V V b (5) For the mixed two and more types of loads, i.e. mixed loads have a constant PQ load and a constant impedance load, each load accounts for 50% of total load of the bus, I l = 0.5 ( P b+jq b V ) 0.5 V(P b+jq b ) V b (6) A modified IEEE 14 bus test case is utilized for case study. The loads of bus 4 and 10 are changed to constant impedance load, the load of bus 13 is changed to constant current magnitude load, and the load of bus 9 is changed to mixed loads with 50% constant PQ load and 50% constant impedance load. Table 10 shows the power flow results and the convergence criterion is a tolerance value of 1e-4 for voltage magnitudes. TABLE 10. POWER FLOW RESULTS FOR THE MODIFIED IEEE 14 BUS TEST CASE Bus ID Magnitude (p.u.) Angle (Degree) Iteration 15 To test the power flow results, Kirchhoff s current law (KCL) is applied to each bus of the modified IEEE 14 bus test case; that is, at any bus, the sum of branch currents injected into that bus should be equal to the load currents flowing out of that bus. Load currents can be calculated from equations (3) (6). Utilizing voltages of each bus of the system as shown in Table 10, the sum of the branch currents injected into the i-th bus can be obtained from the equation: n I i = k=1 Y ik V k (7) The test results show that the power flow results in Table 10 are correct. This method has the following benefits. It is easy to consider all types of loads, since the loads can be readily represented by injection currents. The bus admittance/impedance matrix, once formulated, doesn t need to be changed if the network remains unchanged, which may be convenient for performing studies spanning a horizon where the load changes according to specified load shape modifiers. It is noted that using the LU factorization technique may determine the solution to (0) more efficiently without the need of obtaining the Z matrix. An interesting observation has been found that the power flow problem may have multiple valid solutions. As an example, we have used the traditional Newton Raphson and the Z-matrix methods to solve the original IEEE 14 bus test case. The results obtained by the two methods are shown in Table 11. The convergence criterion is a tolerance of 1e-4 for voltage magnitude. Both solutions are valid since both satisfy the KCL law, but it can be seen that they are slightly different. TABLE 11.

FUTURE RESEARCH In state estimation, the selection of error variances for measurements and model mismatches may have significant effects on the state estimation accuracy. Error variances for the measurements can be chosen according to meter measurement characteristic, which is usually found in meter s manual. However, it is more difficult to find error variances for model mismatches. Thus, one future work is to find suitable methods to determine the error variances for model mismatches for enhanced state estimation accuracy. VI. CONCLUSION This paper presents a new state estimation algorithm based on the extended WLS method for accounting for both model errors and measurement errors. For comparison purposes, both the traditional WLS method

7 JOURNAL OF COMPUTERS, VOL. 7, NO. 3, MARCH and the new method are evaluated by performing case studies. The estimated results evince that the extended WLS method may outperform the traditional approach when the power network model used is not accurate. The extended WLS method is best suited for cases with known variances for model errors. In addition, this paper also examines a power flow method based on Z matrix for transmission systems with multiple types of loads, and the test results demonstrate that the method is effective and correct. The benefit of this method is that it is straightforward to model composite types of loads in the analysis. Studies also show that multiple valid solutions may exist for a power flow problem.
