VERIFYING AN ACCURACY OF A STATE ESTIMATION
First Claim
1. A method of verifying an accuracy of a State Estimation (SE) procedure estimating a number of states (x) of an electric power system based on a redundant set of measurements (z) and corresponding errors (v), wherein the states (x) correspond to system quantities at a number of locations of the system, the method comprising:
- measuring a phasor value (y, y′
) of a system quantity at a location of the system; and
comparing the measured phasor value (y, y′
) with the estimated state (x) corresponding to the respective system quantity at the location of the phasor measurement.

Abstract
The present disclosure is concerned with the reduction of an operational security margin of a power system without jeopardizing the safety of the power system or incurring heavy investments. According to the disclosure, a check for basic accuracy or correctness of a conventional State Estimation (SE) procedure allows to increase a level of confidence in the results of the procedure. To this end, an accuracy of the estimated states is verified by comparing the latter with the results (y, y′) of independent phasor measurements performed at selected locations of the power system. Unless a discrepancy is reported by this comparison, the results of the SE can be assumed to be sufficiently accurate, and any conservative or additional security margin intended to compensate for SE uncertainty can be relaxed. Hence, established trustworthiness in the estimated states allows increasing the transmitted power where the estimated states do indicate such a possibility, i.e. in particular in fringe areas and/or transmission corridors between countries, and especially under stressed network conditions.
