Voltage and Current Sensor for State Estimation in Distribution Network with Generation

Abstract

The penetration of Distributed Generation into the

distribution networks has been increasing during the last

decades. However, the increase of generation brings additional

technical challenges for the Distribution Network Operators.

Thus, the integration of Distributed Generation along with the

improvement of the quality of service is driving Distribution

Network Operators to actively control their networks. In order

to achieve an effective control of the distribution network it is

necessary to estimate the voltage on the network. This paper

presents a method to accurately estimate voltage on the MV

Network from limited measures of voltage and current. A

method to determine the best location to place those voltage and

current sensors is also explained
