Abstract

Incomplete and inaccurate information of network topology and line parameters affects state monitoring, analysis, and control of active distribution networks. To solve this issue, this article proposes a method for identifying distribution network topology and line parameters using the measurements obtained from smart meters (SMs) and microphasor measurement units ( μ PMUs) installed at various locations in a distribution network. A data-driven approach was developed, which uses a probabilistic method (unscented Kalman filter (UKF) based) and a deterministic method (Newton Raphson (NR) based) iteratively for accurate identification of network topology and parameters. The impact of the measurement noise with SMs and μ PMUs is analyzed, and the acceptable noise levels are quantified. The impact of the identification algorithm on the network state estimation is examined. Moreover, optimal installation locations of the μ PMU equipment are identified based on the estimation accuracy of the algorithm. The method is validated on benchmarked IEEE 33-bus and IEEE 123-bus test systems, while the impact of the renewable power injections at the different network nodes is studied as well. The qualitative and quantitative analysis is performed over the state-of-the-art methods, to highlight the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
