Abstract
The precision of line parameters (resistance, reactance) and shunt parameters (susceptance) significantly affect the operation and planning of the power distribution system. However, environmental factors such as temperature, conductor aging as well as human errors can cause the actual line parameters to deviate from those recorded in the manufacturer’s database. To address the challenge, this article present a line parameter estimation method for the three-phase unbalanced distribution system using branch current magnitude and power flow measurements. The present study can accurately estimate the series parameters (r, x) and shunt parameter () of the three-phase overhead distribution feeder as well as the underground cable feeder. Additionally, this paper also describes an approach for identifying errors in the line parameters of a three-phase distribution system using the normalized Lagrange multiplier test (NLM). The performance index is developed by utilizing the maximum absolute percentage error (MAPE) values to evaluate the accuracy of the estimated line parameters. The efficiency of the proposed feeder parameter estimation method are validated on the modified IEEE 37 and 123 bus distribution systems. The results show that the proposed line parameter estimation method works effectively, even when dealing with erroneous measurements.
