A Hybrid Estimation and Identification Method for Online Calculation of Voltage-Dependent Load Parameters.

This paper presents a hybrid estimation and identification (HEI) method for identifying the load model parameters of voltage-dependent loads along with estimating the system states. The parameters of voltage-dependent load models are identified using multiple snapshots consecutively gathered through supervisory control and data acquisition system. The proposed HEI method imposes no additional cost to the installed metering devices or communication network. Mathematical aspects of the proposed HEI method are analytically proved and a four-step approach is presented for implementing it. Comprehensive numerical experiments and statistical analysis are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for both load model identification and state estimation.
