Observability of Power-Distribution Systems: State-Estimation Techniques and Approaches [Paperback]

This book develops, implements and thoroughly evaluates a three-phase distribution system state estimation (DSSE) model. It gathers all relevant state-of-the-art knowledge and provides the missing pieces to offer readers a complete picture of several essential design and implementation factors and ways to address them. 

The book presents a three-phase branch model that allows of conductors, transformers, tap changers, and voltage regulators to be modelled. Its main features include:   

modelling of all major power distribution components; 

sensitivity analysis; and

This book presents a focused account of three-phase DSSE, making it of interest to postgraduate students, researchers and engineers in the field of power systems and distribution systems.

Urban Kuhar graduated at University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Electrical Engineering in 2012 and obtained Ph.D. in 2018 at Jo~ef Stefan International Postgraduate School, Ljubljana, Slovenia. He joined the Department of Communication Systems at the Jo~ef Stefan Institute in 2013. He worked in the field of high-frequency satellite communications, where he designed a Ka-band satellite beacon receiver within the ESA SatProSi project. He designed a synchrophasor measurement device suitable for distribution power networks, and designed and implemented a three-phase distribution state estimator software within the FP7 SUNSEED project.
