Distributed State Estimator via the SuperCalibrator Approach

The primary purpose of a state estimator is to provide a reliable power system model and operating conditions in real time.   The real time model and operating conditions are utilized in a variety of other applications, such as: • Load Forecasting;  • Optimization;  • VAR Control;  • Available Transfer capability;  • Security Assessment;  • Congestion management;  • Dynamic Line Rating;  • Transient Stability;  • EM Transients;  • Day Ahead; • Power Balance; • Spot Pricing; • Transmission Pricing; • Ancillary Services, etc.  It is critical that the state estimator provides a reliable real time model for all these applications.
