    Polynomial-Chaos-Based Decentralized Dynamic Parameter Estimation Using Langevin MCMC
    Xu, Yijun; Chen, Xiao; Mili, Lamine M.; Huang, Can; Korkali, Mert (IEEE, 2019-08-01)
    This paper develops a polynomial-chaos-expansion (PCE)-based approach for decentralized dynamic parameter estimation. Under Bayesian inference framework, the non-Gaussian posterior distributions of the parameters can be obtained through Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). However, the latter method suffers from a prohibitive computing time for large-scale systems. To overcome this problem, we develop a decentralized generator model with the PCE-based surrogate, which allows us to efficiently estimate some generator parameter values. Furthermore, the gradient of the surrogate model can be easily obtained from the PCE coefficients. This allows us to use the gradient-based Langevin MCMC in lieu of the traditional Metropolis-Hasting algorithm so that the sample size can be greatly reduced. Simulations carried out on the New England system reveal that the proposed method can achieve a speedup factor of three orders of magnitude as compared to the traditional method without losing the accuracy.

    Robust Medium-Voltage Distribution System State Estimation using Multi-Source Data
    Zhao, Junbo; Huang, Can; Mili, Lamine M.; Zhang, Yingchen; Min, Liang (IEEE, 2020)
    Due to the lack of sufficient online measurements for distribution system observability, pseudo-measurements from short-term load or distributed renewable energy resources (DERs) forecasting are used. However, the accuracy of them is low and thus significantly limits the performance of distribution system state estimation (DSSE). In this paper, a robust DSSE that integrates multi-source measurement data is proposed. Specifically, the historical low-voltage (LV) side smart meters are used to forecast load and DERs injections via the support vector machine (SVM) with optimally tuned parameters. By contrast, the online smart meters at LV side are utilized to derive equivalent power injections at the MV/LV transformers, yielding more accurate pseudo-measurements compared to the forecasted injections. Furthermore, to deal with bad data caused by communication loss, instrumental errors and cyber attacks, robust DSSE that relies on generalized maximum-likelihood (GM)-estimation criterion is developed. The projection statistics are developed to adjust the weights of each measurement, leading to better balance between pseudo- and real-time measurements. Numerical results conducted on modified IEEE 33-bus system with DG integration demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.
