Quick Summary: The Weighted Least Squares Estimation (WLSE) method computes the state vector $x$ by iteratively minimizing the sum of the squares of the weighted residuals. When specifically estimating based on reactive power injection measurements ($Z_q$), the Jacobian matrix $H_4$ is utilized, where $H_4 = \frac{\partial h_q(x)}{\partial x}$ represents the sensitivity of reactive power measurements to the state variables.

💡 Explanation

The Weighted Least Squares Estimation (WLSE) method computes the state vector xxx by iteratively minimizing the sum of the squares of the weighted residuals. When specifically estimating based on reactive power injection measurements (ZqZ_qZq​), the Jacobian matrix H4H_4H4​ is utilized, where H4=∂hq(x)∂xH_4 = \frac{\partial h_q(x)}{\partial x}H4​=∂x∂hq​(x)​ represents the sensitivity of reactive power measurements to the state variables.

🔢 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

Δx=(HTWH)−1HTWΔz\Delta x = (H^T W H)^{-1} H^T W \Delta zΔx=(HTWH)−1HTWΔz — Normal equation for state update

⚙️ Working Principle

The WLSE method linearizes the non-linear measurement function h(x)h(x)h(x) around the current estimate xPx^PxP using a Taylor series expansion. The update rule is derived by solving the normal equations: (Δx)=(HTWH)−1HTWΔz(\Delta x) = (H^T W H)^{-1} H^T W \Delta z(Δx)=(HTWH)−1HTWΔz. For reactive power, the Jacobian HHH becomes H4H_4H4​, and the residual vector is Δz=Zq−hq(xP)\Delta z = Z_q - h_q(x^P)Δz=Zq​−hq​(xP).

📌 Key Points
  • ▸

    The Jacobian H4H_4H4​ specifically relates reactive power injections to voltage magnitudes and angles.

  • ▸

    Weighting matrix WqW_qWq​ is the inverse of the covariance matrix of the reactive measurement errors.

  • ▸

    The process is iterative, typically utilizing the Gauss-Newton approach for convergence.

✅ Advantages
  • ▸

    Efficiently filters out measurement noise

  • ▸

    Provides an optimal estimate in the presence of Gaussian noise

❌ Disadvantages / Limitations
  • ▸

    Computationally intensive for large systems due to matrix inversion

  • ▸

    Sensitive to bad data without pre-processing

🛠️ Applications / Uses
  • ▸

    Power System State Estimation (PSSE)

  • ▸

    Online monitoring of reactive power flow

📄 Additional Information
  • ▸

    The matrix H3H_3H3​ (often found in option B) is typically associated with active power flow or different power components.

  • ▸

    WLSE relies on the assumption that measurement errors are normally distributed with zero mean.

✅

A is correct — It correctly defines the iterative update step for the state vector using the reactive Jacobian matrix H4H_4H4​ and the reactive weights WqW_qWq​.

💡 EXAM TIP

Always verify the Jacobian index (H1,H2,H3,H4H_1, H_2, H_3, H_4H1​,H2​,H3​,H4​) in power system estimation problems, as they map specifically to active/reactive power and voltage measurements.
