Linear State Estimation and Bad Data Detection for Power Systems with RTU and PMU Measurements

In this paper, a novel linear algorithm is proposed for state estimation including bad data detection of power systems that are monitored both by conventional and synchrophasor measurements. Both types of data are treated simultaneously and the states are estimated in rectangular coordinates. The proposed estimator is based on the linear weighted least square method. To enable the derivation of linear measurement functions, the network is modelled in terms of voltages and currents in rectangular form and pseudo-measurements are used to represent conventional measurements. Furthermore, the largest normalized residual test is used to detect bad data. To validate the accuracy and robustness of the proposed algorithm, several test cases of different sizes are solved and the results are presented and discussed.
