Abstract: This talk describes implementation of a multi-area state estimation approach where a converged solution can be obtained for a large part of the network even if the conventional state estimator does not converge. This is accomplished by locating and isolating the area which contains the gross error that is responsible for divergence. The talk will present results related to area partitioning, network observability and the developed multi-area state estimation algorithm. A software package and associated graphical user interface (GUI) developed for a large utility for this purpose will be demonstrated at the end of the presentation using different save cases provided by the utility.
