Quick Summary: Given: Measurement vector Z = [0.5, 0.45, 0.51]^T and Jacobian matrix H = [[1, 1], [1, 0], [0, 1]]^T (transposed form implied)
Measurement vector Z = [0.5, 0.45, 0.51]^T and Jacobian matrix H = [[1, 1], [1, 0], [0, 1]]^T (transposed form implied)
X^=(HTH)−1HTZ
Transpose H
Given the measurement model Z=HX, we compute the transpose HT of the matrix H=[[1,1],[1,0],[0,1]].
HT=[111001]
Compute product HT H
Calculate the matrix product of HT and H.
HTH=[111001]110101=[2112]
Compute inverse of HT H
The inverse of a 2×2 matrix A=[[a,b],[c,d]] is ad−bc1[[d,−b],[−c,a]]. Here ad−bc=2(2)−1(1)=3.
(HTH)−1=31[2−1−12]
Compute product HT Z
Calculate the product of HT and the measurement vector Z=[0.5,0.45,0.51]T.
HTZ=[111001]0.50.450.51=[0.951.01]
Final Estimation
Multiply the inverse matrix by the vector HTZ: X^=31[[2,−1],[−1,2]][[0.95],[1.01]].
X^=31[1.9−1.01−0.95+2.02]=31[0.891.07]≈[0.2960.356]≈[0.290.35]
B is correct because the least squares solution calculated using the formula X^=(HTH)−1HTZ yields approximately [0.29,0.35]T.
This concept is foundational in Power System State Estimation (PSSE), where weighted least squares (WLS) is used to process redundant meter readings to find the best estimate of bus voltages.
