State Estimation in Electric Power Systems

The textbook "State Estimation in Electric Power Systems: A Generalized Approach" offers a comprehensive introduction to the topic of state estimation at an advanced textbook level. It covers both the theory and practice of weighted least squares (WLS) in significant detail. The book includes an in-depth analysis of the fundamentals of power flow, a solid justification of Stott's decoupled method, observability theory, and matrix solution methods. Additionally, it addresses practical applications such as the analysis of erroneous data, combinatorial analyses of faulty data, and the estimation of multiple snapshots. It is aimed at both professionals and newcomers in the field. State estimation will play a crucial role in the emerging landscape of a deregulated energy industry, as many market decisions will be based on an accurate understanding of the current system state. The book summarizes thirty years of theory and practice of WLS state estimation in energy systems and focuses on techniques adopted by state estimation developers worldwide. It also reflects the experiences in developing industry-grade software for state estimation that is used in the USA, South America, and many other regions of the world.
