This paper presents a performance evaluation of two solutions to reduce computational burden of the traditional Weighted Least Squares Algorithm for power system state estimation: Simplified methods SWLS1 / SWLS2 based on full constant matrices and Fast decoupled FDWLS based on decoupled constant matrices. First, the algorithms were tested on IEEE 14 and 118 bus transmission systems. Second, the solutions were tested on a rural distribution feeder to evaluate the response of the algorithms to high R/X ratio. Results show that for transmission systems, FDWLS is the fastest method but more sensitive to erroneous measurements. Simplifications considered in FDWLS, are not valid in distribution systems with high R/X ratio this results in slowing down the algorithm convergence speed considerably compared to SWLS2 which performs well. SWLS2 algorithm presents a promising solution to reduce computation time for application in future smart grid.

State estimation (SE) is a primary data processing algorithm which is utilised by the control centres of advanced power systems. The most generally utilised state estimator is based on the weighted least squares (WLS) approach which is ineffective in addressing gross errors of input data of state estimator. This paper presents an innovative robust estimator for SE environments to overcome the non-robustness of the WLS estimator. The suggested approach not only includes the similar functioning of the customary loss function of WLS but also reflects loss function built on the modified WLS (MWLS) estimator. The performance of the proposed estimator was assessed based on its ability to decrease the impacts of gross errors on the estimation results. The properties of the suggested state estimator were investigated and robustness of the estimator was studied considering the influence function. The effectiveness of the proposed estimator was demonstrated with the help of examples which also indicated non-robustness of MWLS estimator in SE algorithm.
