A tool for the evaluation and selection of state estimator measurement schemes

This paper describes an approach for evaluating and selecting the measurement scheme for power system state estimation. The approach utilizes a computer package which has been developed for analyzing all the power system state estimation related functions. In the proposed approach the measurement configuration is selected so that the following criteria are met: measurement system observability and reliability, bad data detectability and identifiability, state estimation accuracy. The necessary algorithms to analyze the above criteria are described.<
