Quick Summary: The Weighted Least Squares Estimation (WLSE) method aims to minimize the weighted sum of squared residuals between observed measurements and the system's nonlinear model. At the 0th iteration, the correction vector $\Delta X$ is computed using the gain matrix $G = H^T W H$ and the weighted residual vector.

💡 Explanation

The Weighted Least Squares Estimation (WLSE) method aims to minimize the weighted sum of squared residuals between observed measurements and the system's nonlinear model. At the 0th iteration, the correction vector ΔX\Delta XΔX is computed using the gain matrix G=HTWHG = H^T W HG=HTWH and the weighted residual vector.

🔢 Key Formulas

ΔX=(HTWH)−1HTWΔZ\Delta X = (H^T W H)^{-1} H^T W \Delta ZΔX=(HTWH)−1HTWΔZ — Standard update step where ΔZ=Z−h(x)\Delta Z = Z - h(x)ΔZ=Z−h(x)

W=R−1W = R^{-1}W=R−1 — Weighting matrix defined as the inverse of the measurement error covariance matrix RRR

⚙️ Working Principle

The WLSE approach linearizes the nonlinear system Z=h(x)+eZ = h(x) + eZ=h(x)+e using a Taylor series expansion around an initial state estimate x0x_0x0​. By taking the derivative of the objective function J(x)=[Z−h(x)]TW[Z−h(x)]J(x) = [Z - h(x)]^T W [Z - h(x)]J(x)=[Z−h(x)]TW[Z−h(x)] and setting it to zero, we derive the normal equations. The update step ΔX=(HTWH)−1HTW[Z−h(x)]\Delta X = (H^T W H)^{-1} H^T W [Z - h(x)]ΔX=(HTWH)−1HTW[Z−h(x)] ensures the estimation iteratively converges to the true state.

📌 Key Points
  • ▸

    The Jacobian matrix HHH contains the partial derivatives of the measurement functions with respect to the state variables.

  • ▸

    The weighting matrix WWW is a diagonal matrix containing the reciprocal of the measurement variances, i.e., wi=1/σi2w_i = 1/\sigma_i^2wi​=1/σi2​.

  • ▸

    Iteration continues until the change in state ΔX\Delta XΔX falls below a specified threshold.

✅ Advantages
  • ▸

    Statistically optimal if measurement errors are Gaussian.

  • ▸

    Provides a systematic approach to handle redundant measurements.

❌ Disadvantages / Limitations
  • ▸

    Computationally expensive due to matrix inversion at each iteration.

  • ▸

    Susceptible to divergence if the initial guess X0X_0X0​ is too far from the solution.

🛠️ Applications / Uses
  • ▸

    Real-time power system monitoring (SCADA).

  • ▸

    Bad data detection and identification in power networks.

📄 Additional Information
  • ▸

    The term [Z−h(X0)][Z - h(X_0)][Z−h(X0​)] is the residual vector.

  • ▸

    Option C is missing the weighting matrix WWW in the numerator term, making it dimensionally inconsistent with the Gauss-Newton derivation.

  • ▸

    Option B is missing the transpose of the Jacobian matrix HTH^THT and the weighting matrix WWW inside the gain inverse term.

✅

D is correct — The correct update formula is ΔX=(H0°TWH0)−1H0°TW[Z−h(X0)]\Delta X = (H_0°T W H_0)^{-1} H_0°T W [Z - h(X_0)]ΔX=(H0​°TWH0​)−1H0​°TW[Z−h(X0​)], which correctly applies the Gauss-Newton optimization step.

💡 EXAM TIP

Always verify matrix dimensions in state estimation formulas: (HTWH)−1(H^T W H)^{-1}(HTWH)−1 must be a square matrix of size n×nn \times nn×n, where nnn is the number of state variables.
