Decentralized Dynamic State Estimation with Bimodal Gaussian Mixture Measurement Noise (2002.07603v1)

Abstract: This paper proposes a decentralized dynamic state estimation (DSE) algorithm with bimodal Gaussian mixture measurement noise. The decentralized DSE is formulated using the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) and then compared with the unscented Kalman filter (UKF). The performance of the proposed framework is verified using the WSCC 9-bus system simulated in the Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS). The phasor measurement unit (PMU) measurements are streamed in real-time from the RTDS runtime environment to MATLAB for real-time visualization and estimation. To consider the data corruption scenario in the streaming process, a bi-modal distribution containing two normal distributions with different weights and variances are added to the measurements as the noise component. The performances of both UKF and EnKF are then compared for by calculating the mean-squared-errors (MSEs) between the actual and estimated states.
