A state estimator for LV networks: Results from the evolvdso project

The increasing connection of new assets in LV networks will surely require a better monitoring of these systems in a real-time manner. In order to meet this purpose, a Distribution State Estimator (DSE) module clearly appears as the most cost-effective and possibly the only reliable option available. In this sense, in the scope of the evolvDSO project, a DSE tool exploiting the concept of ELM-AE was developed and tested in two distinct real LV distribution networks. In this paper the main results achieved with the proposed DSE tool are presented and discussed.
