Power-Flow-Embedded Projection Conic Matrix Completion for Low-Observable Distribution Systems

Abstract

A low-observable distribution system has insufficient measurements for conventional weighted least square state estimators. Matrix completion state estimators have been suggested, but their computational times could be prohibitive. To resolve this problem, a novel and efficient power-flow-embedded projection conic matrix completion method customized for low-observable distribution systems is proposed in this letter. This method can yield more accurate state estimations (2-fold improvement) in a much shorter time (5% or less) than other methods. Case studies on different-scale systems have demonstrated the efficacy of the proposed method when applied to low-observable distribution system state estimation problems.
