Abstract. Hydraulic state estimation in water distribution networks is the task of estimating water flows and pressures in the pipes and nodes of the network based on some sensor measurements. This requires a model of the network, as well as knowledge of demand outflow and tank water levels. Due to modeling and measurement uncertainty, standard state-estimation may result in inaccurate hydraulic estimates without any measure of the estimation error. This paper describes a methodology for generating hydraulic state bounding estimates based on interval bounds on the parametric and measurement uncertainties. The estimation error bounds provided by this method can be applied to estimate the unaccounted-for water in water distribution networks. As a case study, the method is applied to a transport network in Cyprus, using actual data in real-time.

Monitoring and controlling the electrical distribution system for real time is becoming very important to improve its operating performance after transition to active distribution systems. So, many sensors are needed to monitor all parts in the systems. But if sensors are installed at all buses, investment cost becomes huge. To reduce the number of sensors, state estimation approach can be used to estimate the voltage of buses, which do not have sensors. State Estimation (SE) algorithms are broadly classified into Static State Estimator (SSE) and Dynamic State Estimator (DSE). This chapter classifies most algorithms used in active distribution networks, also State estimation in unbalanced distribution systems, and Role of PMU in Distribution System State Estimation.

This paper presents a novel approach for the state estimation of poorly-observable low voltage distribution networks, characterized by intermittent and erroneous measurements. The developed state estimation algorithm is based on the Extended Kalman filter, where we have modified the execution of the filtering process. Namely, we have fixed the Kalman gain and Jacobian matrices to constant matrices; their values change only after a larger disturbance in the network. This allows for a fast and robust estimation of the network state. The performance of the proposed state-estimation algorithm is validated by means of simulations of an actual low-voltage network with actual field measurement data. Two different cases are presented. The results of the developed state estimator are compared to a classical estimator based on the weighted least squares method. The comparison shows that the developed state estimator outperforms the classical one in terms of calculation speed and, in case of spurious measurements errors, also in terms of accuracy.
