Power System State Estimation

Power System State Estimation (PSSE) is a real-time algorithm that estimates the voltage and phase angle at every bus in a power grid from a set of noisy, redundant measurements. Introduced by Schweppe in 1970, it combines measurements (power flows, voltage magnitudes) with the physical power flow model to produce the most likely system state. State estimation is the foundation of modern grid control centers, providing operators with an accurate digital representation of the actual network.
