paper. In the method, the sliding surface-enhanced fuzzy control
and optimal cluster numbers estimation techniques are both employed for the enhancement of state estimation. This proposed approach has been applied to test systems. Test results reveal the feasibility of the method for the applications considered.

I. INTRODUCTION

OLLOWING the open access and the operation of transmission networks, the patterns of power flows in a deregulated power system have become less predictable when compared to the vertically integrated systems [1]. Under such new
energy market rules, the need for real-time network modeling is
vitally important, yet the quality of the formulated model highly
depends on the effectiveness of state estimators. Besides, only
with the utilization of the previous estimate, then a state estimator can forecast the state vector one step ahead accordingly.
Thus, it will also provide system operator with more time allowable in making related decisions such as economic dispatch,
security assessment, and other related functions.
The process of a conventional state estimator is often carried out through two functions that include state predicting and
state filtering. State predicting is performed according to the
past information, and state filtering is applied to find the optimal
estimate considering all available measurements and predicted
states. Several algorithms have been proposed for the accomplishment of state estimation work. Among these methods, the
commonly recognized extended Kalman filter (EKF) was often
employed [2][4]. In such a method, when the system is operated normally, the EKF scheme is useful to provide an optimal
state estimate. However, once the system encounters a large load
variation, the estimation performance is often seen significantly
downgraded. This is mainly attributed to the shortage of the
large injection change considered in the model formulation. Recently, based on the human knowledge and experience, fuzzy
control theory was also suggested [5]. Through the fuzzy control system design, the formulated state estimator was expected

to be more robust because of a better management of uncertainty. Then, with the emergence of neural networks, it was also
deemed a favorite candidate in several electric power applications thanks to its fast response and efficient learning. By collecting the data generated from power system operation, neural
networks were seen of high potential to assist in the dynamic
tracking of system states [6], [7]. In aforementioned methods,
each of these techniques could improve the computation performance, but each has its drawbacks as well.
In this paper, a fuzzy control method enhanced with a sliding
surface is proposed for the predicting-aided state estimation of a
power system [8]. The predicting-aided state estimation is also
known as dynamic state estimation whose central concept is to
detect identify and eliminate the inconsistent data by use of the
difference between the latest acquired measurements and corresponding forecasted values. In the proposed approach, with the
embodiment of fuzzy decision capability, for those cases where
the large load changes occurred, the method would guide the
solution to a near-optimal trajectory [9]. In addition, rather than
the conventional fuzzy controller design, the proposed method
applies the concept of the sliding surface that combines the error
and the rate of error as an integrated input variable. Hence, the
number of fuzzy rules can be also largely reduced, thereby facilitating the computation performance.
In addition to coping with load variation scenario, the study
also investigates the possibility of gross measurement errors that
may lead to biased estimates. Fig. 1 outlines the framework of
the proposed approach. As seen from the figure, the predicted
state vector is first determined. Then, following the acquirement of a new set of measurements, the innovation vector can
be evaluated and used as the network inputs, where the innovation vector is defined as the differences between the latest acquired measurements and their corresponding predicted values.
Yet, once the abnormal data occurs, the related innovations will
be immediately replaced in anticipation of better reflecting the
correct values, assisting the predicting-aided state estimator toward reliable estimates of system states.
The organization of the paper is made as follows. Section II
introduces the modules of the proposed approach, Section III
describes the computation procedures, Section IV shows the numerical results, and Section V draws the conclusions.

has paved a systematic way of capturing the linguistic fuzzy information extracted from human experts. The fuzzy paradigm
can be deemed the generalization of probability theory, where
each variable is assigned a degree of membership for their possible values. The linguistic information can be, therefore, converted into a control decision suitable for describing nonlinear
or model-free scenarios. As for the sliding mode control, it is
commonly recognized as a robust approach that was widely applied in the control study. By integrating the sliding mode control with the fuzzy model, it forms the major theme of this paper,

Equation (9) also illuminates that the problem of following the
desired trajectory can be regarded as that of holding the scalar
quantity at zero. The rule in this sliding surface-enhanced
fuzzy controller can be formed through the integration of the
error and the rate of error as one; namely, the error and the rate
of error are both used in the antecedents of the fuzzy rules. In this
way, the dimension of the input space and the number of rules
can be reduced, by which increasing the computational performance. Main procedure of this controller is detailed as below.

C. Mining of Anomalous Data


When bad measurements take place, the squares of differences of the observed measurements and their corresponding
estimates often become significant. In the paper, a back-error
propagation neural network scheme has been developed to provide the forewarning signals, but input variables for this neural
network are innovation vectors that are the differences between
the latest acquired measurements and their corresponding predicted values. [13]. The reason of choosing this innovation as
network input lies in its white Gaussian distribution feature [14].
Hence, when the neural network is well trained, it would serve
as a useful extrapolator. Now, with an input variable , its corre, where

different scenarios is hard to achieve. An inadvertent choice of
the threshold may contrarily degrade the diagnosis process. An
efficient method to improve this drawback is, therefore, urgently
required.
Based on the theory of cluster analysis, an optimal cluster
number decision strategy was proposed that is capable of
estimating the optimal number of clusters from a set of data.
This technique uses the output of any clustering algorithm, and
then compares the change in within cluster dispersion to that
expected under an appropriate reference null distribution [10],
[15]. In this way, the appropriate number of data clusters can

in this data mining process, the curve of error measure is expected
to be more linear such that the gap quantity between successive
clusters is also easier determined. It is also worth noting that for
the discovery of the gap difference, the set of reference data is also
required to form. In view of the distribution of squared error data
for each dimension, we have adopted a uniformly distributedrandomnumbergeneratorsuchthateachreferencedataset
has its Monte Carlo samples. Therefore, the probability of occurrence for each squared error data will be mutually the same under
normal system operation scenario.
III. COMPUTATION PROCEDURES
Fig. 3 depicts the building blocks of the proposed approach.
The main procedures of these blocks are discussed as follows.
Step 1: Compute the Predicted State and Innovation Vectors: In this step, the predicted state vector is first evaluated.
Then, with the acquisition of the latest set of measurements,
the innovation vector can be calculated by grasping the difference between the new measurements and their related predicted
values. Next, the squares of differences of the innovations and

optimal number of clusters of square error data.
Step 4: Determine the Optimal Cluster Numbers: In this
step, the optimal number of clusters is determined by the
following rule [10]:

IV. NUMERICAL STUDY


The proposed approach has been tested on an IEEE 30-bus
system as depicted in Fig. 4, where six generators, 21 loads,
and 41 branches are included. A full set of 248 measurements is

method was developed by Microsoft Visual C++ language
that runs on an IBM-compatible computer with Intel Pentium IV
1.7-GHz processor inside. In the numerical study, a linear trend
between 1.5 and 2.5% along with a random variation was added
to a load curve. The variation was represented by a normally
distributed random number with a standard deviation of 2% of
the trend component. For each time sample, power flow computation was carried out using the load and generation data obtained via load curve and generation participation factor under
a normal system operation condition. In the study, six test scenarios are employed to validate the performance of the proposed
method, involving normal operation scenario, large load variations, multiple measurement errors, coexistence of measurement errors and large load changes, network unobservability,
and topology errors. These cases are also simulated on an IEEE
118-bus system, where 118 buses and 179 branches along with
1116 measurements are included. For each scenario, the outcome of the load flow serves as the true values of measurements.
Then, the raw measurements were evaluated by incorporating a
normally distributed noise of 1% standard deviation for voltage
magnitudes, and 1.5% for power flow pairs.

In the following test cases, the performance of different

four test cases are presented and discussed.
Test 1: Normal Operation Scenario: In this test, different
methods are applied to solve the problem, where the observed
measurements are assumed behaved normally. Fig. 5 plots the
results of optimal cluster numbers by the proposed method at
the 10th time sample. In the figure, the inequality of
expressed in (19) of Section III (namely,
) is satisfied when
, revealing that the
optimal number of clusters would be 1 for this case. In other
words, the whole observed measurements of the 30-bus system
are identified as normal ones. Table II tabulates the comparisons
between methods. As seen from the table, the performances
of the methods are mutually similar. As for the IEEE 118-bus
system, Table III lists the simulation results of normal condition. Results obtained from this case support the effectiveness
of the method.
Test 2: Large Load Variations: In this test, a large load variation scenario is assumed. It is known that when encountering

scenarios.

large load variations, the accuracy of state estimates is often significantly affected. This is mainly attributed that the predicted
system states in the previous methods often fail to take account
of sudden injections. To validate the feasibility of the method,
large load variations are assumed to occur at bus 14 and 18 at
the 13th time sample in this study. Fig. 6 is the plot of the numerical results by using the proposed approach. Based on the

the assumed scenario. Besides, Table V shows the comparison
results of the performance indices between methods. As tabuand
of the
lated in the table, the smaller values of
proposed approach also show that the proposed method is superior to the other method, confirming the suitability of the approach for the scenario considered.
While for the 118-bus system, at the 16th time sample, a
large load change is assumed to occur at bus 52. Table VI and
Fig. 7 show the simulation results, by which the feasibility of
the method is confirmed.
Test 3: Multiple Measurement Errors: In this test case, a scenario of multiple measurement errors is assumed. Among the set
of observed measurements collected from the 30-bus system,
four bad data have been randomly assumed to occur at the 20th
time sample, involving the measurements of
(no. 15),
(no. 42),
(no. 63), and
(no. 215). The error
size of these bad data is 20 times their measurement standard
deviations. By using the proposed method, Table VII lists the
clustered results. As the table indicates, because the inequality
is satisfied, the optimal number of clusof
ters will amount to two for such a scenario, hinting that all ob-

methods. Confirmed by smaller values of indices, the performance of the proposed approach is proved better than that of the
other method. In addition, Fig. 9 also depicts the comparison

computation results support the proposed approach as well.
Test 4: Simultaneous Occurrence of Gross Measurement Errors and Load Changes:
In this case, the performance of
the proposed method is evaluated when the gross measurement
error and large load change are assumed occurred simultaneously. In the 30-bus system, two measurement errors of 10%
were assumed to occur at the 25th time sample, involving mea(no. 97) and
(no. 144). Besurements of
sides, the large load decrease in the following scenarios are simulated:
1) bus 16 at the 25th time sample;
2) bus 26 at the 25th time sample.

Fig. 11 shows the evolution of voltage magnitude at bus 16


and bus 26. It can be seen that the voltage magnitude increases
due to the large decrease in load. Now, by use of the proposed
and
technique, Fig. 12 delineates the values of

where the performance of the proposed approach is better than
that of the EKF scheme as well, solidifying the feasibility of
the method.
In addition to applying the method on the 30-bus system, the
method was also assessed through the 118-bus system, where

to occurs at bus 83 at the 23rd time sample. Fig. 14 depicts the
evolution of voltage magnitude before and after the load change.
The results obtained from this 118-bus system are individually
shown in Table X and Fig. 15. As the outcome reveals, the feasibility of the proposed method is solidified.
Test 5: Network Unobservability: An electric power network may miss some measurements such that the network
becomes unobservable. For this scenario, the proposed method
is applied to investigate, where the pseudo-measurements is
assumed for the problem formulation [1]. Namely, once the
network becomes unobservable at the th time sample, the
lost one would be replaced with a corresponding pseudo-measurement obtained from the most recent estimate. Then, the
th
measurements determined by the estimated states at the
time sample will be served as the pseudo ones at the th time
sample in anticipating of reaching the network observability.
As for the test of IEEE 30-bus and 118-bus systems, they
are individually assumed to have missed some measurements
at the 15th and 22nd time samples. By using the method,
the clustered results are listed in Table XI, where the optimal cluster numbers of 30-bus and 118-bus systems are
both seen to be 2. For the 30-bus system, measurements of

are abnormal ones. Fig. 16 delineates the performance assessments of methods. This figure
shows that the performance of the proposed method is superior
to that of the other method.
Test 6: Topology Errors: In this case, the estimation performance of methods under the incorrectly reported topology is
assessed. Operation scenarios of difference power systems are
simulated as follows. For the IEEE 30-bus system, at the seventh time sample, the line connected between bus 25 and bus 26
is assumed to lose connection but reported linked. While for the
IEEE 118-bus test system, the status of breaker situated between
bus 21 and bus 22 is incorrectly reported at the 10th time sample.
With these assumed scenarios, Table XII tabulates the clustered
results using the proposed method. In the table, the abnormal
measurements are seen effectively identified. Fig. 17 plots the
performance comparisons of methods, implying a better performance revealed by the proposed algorithm.
In aforementioned approaches, they were completed by Visual C++ language and performed on a Pentium-IV 1.7-GHz
computer. Table XIII lists the averaged calculation time of four
methods under different test cases, where this computation time

the method is performed with or without the data mining. For
all scenarios considered, the performance index of Method 4
(the proposed method) is seen to be the smallest one; thereby
consolidating the feasibility of the proposed approach while the
contribution of data mining is also confirmed.

COMPARISONS OF CALCULATION TIME FOR VARIOUS METHODS

In this paper, a predicting-aided estimation method involving


anomalous data mining is proposed to enhance the power system
state estimation. By embedding the sliding surface-enhanced
fuzzy control, the estimation performance under different scenarios is seen significantly improved. Moreover, the proposed
approach has been designed to intelligently search the clusters
of inconsistent data. Therefore, the robustness of the estimation work can be better ensured. Currently, with the financial
support, a research project is being carried out in anticipation
of embedding the proposed method into utility energy management software system. The results will be reported in the near
future.

is obtained by taking the average of 30 runs. It is found that although the proposed method (Method 4) has included the fuzzy
controller and data mining, its computation time is seen only
slightly increased under different scenarios. Note that because
Test 1 is assumed a normal operation scenario where the fuzzy
controller is not required to perform, the computation time of
Method 1 and 2 are of the same. As for Method 3, its computation time is found slightly longer than that of Method 1 and 2 as
the data mining is added. Then, in Method 4 where fuzzy controller and data mining are both included, the increased computation burden is very limited, yet the computation performance is improved significantly as Table XIV reveals. In the
