Dynamic State Estimation for Synchronous Generator with Communication Constraints: an Improved Regularized Particle Filter Approach

Accurate acquisition of real-time electromechanical dynamic states of synchronous generators plays an essential role in power systems. The phasor measurement units (PMUs) are widely used in data acquisition of synchronous generator operation parameters, which can capture the dynamic responses of generators. However, distortion of measurement results of synchronous generator operation parameters is inevitable due to various reasons, such as device failure and operating environment interference and so on. Meanwhile, it is hard to transmit gigantic volumes of data to the information center due to limited communication bandwidth. To tackle these challenges, this article proposes a dynamic state estimation method for synchronous generators with event-triggered scheme. The proposed method first establishes a non-linear model to describe the dynamics of generators. Then, a measure-based event-triggering scheme is adopted to schedule the data transmission from the sensor to estimator, thus reducing communication pressure and enhanced resource utilization. Finally, an improved regularized particle filter (IRPF) algorithm is designed to guarantee the estimation performance. To this end, the genetic algorithm is used to optimize the particles sampled by regularized particle filter algorithm, which can solve particle exhaustion problem. The CEPRI7 system is used to verify the performance of the proposed method.
