Title: Real-Time Monitoring of Distribution Systems: Challenges
Time: Sep. 10, 2021, at 10:00 AM PST
Abstract: This seminar will provide an overview of the presenter’s efforts within the last 30 years towards development of analytical tools for real-time monitoring of distribution systems. One of the goals of the review is to highlight some of the challenges associated with development of such tools and their adoption in practice. The review will introduce the early efforts towards the development of the main tool, which is distribution system state estimation (DSSE). Then, the challenges faced towards adoption of DSSE in practice will be reviewed. The adoption of some data analytics for addressing the challenges on load estimation and meter placement will be introduced. In the last part of the presentation, recent efforts by the author towards addressing some of the challenges faced during field implementation of DSSE will be covered.
Name: IEEE Conference on Technologies for Sustainability
