estimated values from the estimator (assuming that it is run periodically) as
pseudo-measurements. Therefore, if needed, we can provide the state estimator with a reasonable value to use as a pseudo-measurement at any bus in the system. The three-bus sample system in Figure 12.18 requires one pseudomeasurement. Measurement MI allows us to estimate the voltage magnitude and phase angle at bus 2 (bus 1s voltage magnitude is measured and its phase angle is assumed to be zero). But without knowing the generation output at the generator unit on bus 2 or the load on bus 3, we cannot tell what voltage magnitude and phase angle to place on bus 3; hence, the network is unobservable. We can make this three-bus system observable by adding a pseudo-measurement of the net bus injected MW and MVAR at bus 2 or bus 3, but not at bus 1. That is, a pseudo-measurement at bus 1 will do no good at all because it tells nothing about the relationship of the phase angles between bus 2 and bus 3. When adding a pseudo-measurement to a network, we simply write the equation for the pseudo-measurement injected power as a function of bus voltage magnitudes and phase angles as if it were actually measured. However, we do not wish to have the estimator treat the pseudo-measurement the same as a legitimate measurement, since it is often quite inaccurate and is little better than a guess. To circumvent this difficulty, we assign a large standard deviation to this measurement. The large standard deviation allows the estimator algorithm to treat the pseudo-measurement as if it were a measurement from a very poor-quality metering device. To demonstrate the use of pseudo-measurements on our six-bus test system, all measurements were removed from buses 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 so that bus 1 had all remaining measurements. This rendered the network unobservable and required adding pseudo-measurements at buses 2, 3, and 6. In the case, the pseudo-measurements were just taken from our base-case power flow. The results are shown in Table 12.8. Notice that the resulting estimates are quite close to the measured values for bus 1 but that the remaining buses have large measurement residuals. The net injections at buses 2, 3, and 6 do not closely match the pseudo-measurements since the pseudo-measurements were weighted much less than the legitimate measurements. BLOG FIEE
