Power systems data fusion based on belief propagation

Abstract

The increasing complexity of the power grid, due to higher penetration of distributed resources and growing availability of interconnected, distributed metering devices requires novel tools for providing a unified, consistent view of the system. A computational framework for power systems data fusion, based on probabilistic graphical models, capable of combining heterogeneous data sources with classical state estimation nodes and other customised computational nodes, is proposed. The framework allows flexible extension of the notion of grid state beyond the view of flows and injection in bus-branch models, and an efficient, naturally distributed inference algorithm can be derived. An application of the data fusion model to the quantification of distributed solar energy is proposed through numerical examples based on semi-synthetic simulations of the standard IEEE 14-bus test case.
