Abstract

The integration of renewables into electrical grids calls for novel control schemes, which usually are model based. Classically, for power systems parameter estimation and optimization-based control are often decoupled, which may lead to increased cost of system operation during the estimation procedures. The present work proposes a method for simultaneously minimizing grid operation cost and estimating line parameters. To this end, we rely on methods from optimal design of experiments. This approach leads to a substantial reduction in cost for optimal estimation and in higher accuracy in the parameters compared with standard combination of optimal power flow and maximum-likelihood estimation. We illustrate the performance of the proposed method on simple benchmark system.
