Power System State Estimation – Ali Abur, Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Northeastern University
Time: Refreshments start at 6:00PM, Talk Commences at 6:30PM
Location: Valley A&B, National Grid, Reservoir Woods, Waltham, MA 02451
This talk will present an overview of power system state estimation. The basic formulation, solution and implementation of this solution will be reviewed. In addition to the state estimation solution, related issues of network observability and bad data processing which are features available in most commercial estimators will also be reviewed. The talk also will discuss the importance of measurement type, location and configuration and their impact the accuracy and reliability of the state estimator. Typical tutorial examples will be shown to illustrate these concepts. Finally, the talk will cover the use of synchronized phasor measurements either exclusively or in addition to existing SCADA measurements. The talk will conclude with some thoughts on the expected improvements and applications of state estimation for future power grids.
Ali Abur received his B.S. degree at Orta Dogu Teknik Universitesi, Ankara, Turkey and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from The Ohio State University. He joined the Department of Electrical Engineering at Texas A&M University where he worked as a Professor between 1985 and 2005. In 2005, he moved to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northeastern University in Boston where he served as the department chair until 2013. He is currently a professor in the same department. He co-authored the book “Power System State Estimation” and published several technical papers and reports on the same topic. He served as an Editor for IEEE Transactions on Power Systems between 1999 and 2011. He is a Fellow of the IEEE.
