Topology identification and parameter estimation form the basis for the operation and control of the distribution network with little or no observability. This paper proposes a method to estimate the admittance matrix for open-loop distribution networks based only on active/reactive power injection and voltage magnitude data. We derive the linear relationship between the admittance matrix and the measurements based on decoupled linear power flow (DLPF) equations. A total least squares regression method is proposed based on analysis of the characteristics of the open-loop grid admittance matrix. Case studies on the IEEE 33-bus system demonstrate the proposed method's effectiveness, accuracy, and efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

High renewable energy penetration increases the electricity seasonal imbalance in the long-term timescale. Power system planning needs to consider the optimal configuration of various flexibility resources and electricity balance in different timescales. The coupling of multiple timescales largely increases the computation complexity of the power system planning problem. Thus, this paper presents an efficient source-grid-storage co-planning model which incorporates a year-round hourly operation simulation. To improve the computation efficiency of the planning model, from the temporal scale, a self-adaptive compact panorama time series (CPTS) model is applied, which greatly reduces the number of variables related to short-term decisions. From the spatial scale, a network-constrained relaxed clustered unit commitment (NC-RCUC) model is introduced, which significantly reduces the number of variables related to unit commitment decisions. Case studies on the modified Garver’s 6-node system and HRP-38 system prove the validation and efficiency of the proposed model (“HRP” stands for high renewable penetration). The studies on the China power grid in 2035 demonstrate the future planning results of generation, transmission and storage in China power systems based on the proposed model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
