Sensitivity analysis of a PMU-fed steady state model synthesis method for active distribution networks

The purpose of this paper is to carry out sensitivity analysis of a method that performs steady state model synthesis (SSMS) of active distribution networks using Syncrophasor Measurements. An extended version of the Total Vector Error (TVE) is used as a metric to evaluate how sensitive the output of the SSMS method is to the changes in the inputs to the method. Location of PMUs in the system, system operating point, and occurrence of different disturbances are considered as the input to the SSMS method. The sensitivity analysis is performed through several case studies each containing changes in one of the inputs.
