摘要

Power system state estimation (SE) is a crucial basic function in energy management systems (EMSs) which offers the basic load flow models. It is a critical problem to check whether the SE results are credible enough to be used for online decision making or close-loop control. However, there are few published works focus on this topic till now. The accuracy of SE results can be affected by various factors, many of them are very difficult to quantify. Hence a feasible method is to estimate the accuracy of SE results based on residuals. Due to the huge number of measurements in real power systems, it is necessary to establish a reasonable scalar index that represents the residuals of all measurements and directly indicates the accuracy of the SE results. This paper provides a systematic research on the SE accuracy evaluation problem and proposes a new SE accuracy evaluation index based on correntropy. Some conventional SE accuracy evaluation indices are also introduced and compared theoretically and also through extensive numerical tests.
