System-wide Instrument Transformer Calibration and Line Parameter Estimation Using PMU Data

원문 초록

Uncalibrated instrument transformers (ITs) can degrade the performance of downstream applications that rely on the voltage and current measurements that ITs provide. It is also well-known that phasor measurement unit (PMU)-based system-wide IT calibration and line parameter estimation (LPE) are interdependent problems. In this paper, we present a statistical framework for solving the simultaneous LPE and IT calibration (SLIC) problem using synchrophasor data. The proposed approach not only avoids the need for a perfect IT by judiciously placing a revenue quality meter (which is an expensive but non-perfect IT), but also accounts for the variations typically occurring in the line parameters. The results obtained using the IEEE 118-bus system as well as actual power system data demonstrate the high accuracy, robustness, and practical utility of the proposed approach.
