Quick Summary: The Weighted Least Square Estimation (WLSE) method finds the state vector $x$ that minimizes the weighted sum of squared residuals. For a non-linear system, this requires an iterative Newton-Raphson approach where the update step involves the gain matrix $G = H^T W H$, leading to the standard iterative update rule.

💡 Explanation

The Weighted Least Square Estimation (WLSE) method finds the state vector xxx that minimizes the weighted sum of squared residuals. For a non-linear system, this requires an iterative Newton-Raphson approach where the update step involves the gain matrix G=HTWHG = H^T W HG=HTWH, leading to the standard iterative update rule.

🔢 Key Formulas

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)] — Objective function for WLSE

G=HTWHG = H^T W HG=HTWH — Gain matrix of the estimator

xp+1=xp+G−1HTWΔzx_{p+1} = x_p + G^{-1} H^T W \Delta zxp+1​=xp​+G−1HTWΔz — Iterative state update equation

⚙️ Working Principle

The measurement model is defined as z=h(x)+ez = h(x) + ez=h(x)+e. To solve for xxx, we minimize 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)]. By taking the gradient and setting it to zero, we linearize the system using the Jacobian HHH (where H=∂h∂xH = \frac{\partial h}{\partial x}H=∂x∂h​). The state update is given by 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)], which added to the current estimate yields the next estimate.

📌 Key Points
  • ▸

    WLSE utilizes the Gaussian distribution assumption of measurement errors.

  • ▸

    The gain matrix GGG must be non-singular for the solution to exist.

  • ▸

    The Jacobian H1H_1H1​ is used specifically when considering only active power measurements.

  • ▸

    The inverse term [HTWH]−1[H^T W H]^{-1}[HTWH]−1 characterizes the sensitivity of the estimation process.

✅ Advantages
  • ▸

    Optimal estimation under Gaussian noise conditions.

  • ▸

    Provides statistically unbiased results.

❌ Disadvantages / Limitations
  • ▸

    Computationally intensive due to matrix inversion at each iteration.

  • ▸

    Requires a good initial guess to ensure convergence.

🛠️ Applications / Uses
  • ▸

    Power system state estimation for EMS (Energy Management Systems).

  • ▸

    Real-time monitoring of bus voltage angles and magnitudes.

📄 Additional Information
  • ▸

    Option D is the standard formulation for the Newton-based state update.

  • ▸

    Option B lacks the inverse matrix operator, which is mathematically incorrect for the Newton step.

  • ▸

    Option C uses H2H_2H2​ which is typically associated with reactive power measurements.

💡 EXAM TIP

Always verify the Jacobian indices: H1H_1H1​ typically relates to active power (PPP) and H2H_2H2​ to reactive power (QQQ) when linearizing power flow equations.
